Yeah, of course you can. You can hire even for 24/7 if you have enough money. There is a guy who don't go to PT center and hire PT coach to come to his house. Money can buy everything.

Sorry, man, I love PT coaches a lot, so I am not very neutral person to answer anymore. But I hope they are professional. It looks like they know what they are doing. Of course, it's a little bit too early to answer.

These days I feel like sh*t. Probably, I've got an infection. Maybe it's slightly, because a little difficult to identify, but just in case from today I've started to drink antibiotics. I am tired, I don't have strength at all, knee is stiff, several pin sites are painful, I barely can walk. But also PT guy told me from his experience that it becomes more difficult when you come near 3 cm (I am at 2,8 cm). I'll have meeting with dr. G on Monday.

Btw, I am amazed how much pretty tall people are doing this surgery. Even now there is a guy, who original height is 178 cm. Another one - 177 cm... And they are not from Netherlands.

This proves that height dysphoria is a real disorder. Paley also mentioned somewhere about tall patients visiting him for LL.

39 day: 2 cm 6,25 mm. OK, so several hours ago I had a meeting with dr. Giotikas. First bad news: I am 0,4 mm shorter than I thought. I thought that these 0,4 mm is like the initial gap. Actually, it's just the size of the distraction line, so it doesn't count. Good news: in general I am pretty good. No ballerina, pain is manageable. I asked why I can't keep my balance while standing so the doctor said that's because my upper leg muscles are too weak. I need to concentrate more on them during PT.

Also today we had a guest in a PT center. Guy who did 10 cm (tibia - 4 cm Stryde; femur - 6 cm Stryde) one year ago. He looks awesome! Perfect proportions and walking gait. He arrived for the nails removal. I am very jealous of him!

Also that's my X-rays from today:
