Almost done

Edit Post

Almost done.  Had my fixators removed 4 days ago. I lengthened 6.5cm on femur LON method

If you have any questions besides accommodation and stuff then I can help,  I'm an Australian living in Istanbul so I didn't need it. I learnt a important things the hard way and if I can help in any way I'm here.

I'm confident I can but everyday is a grind.  Get up stretch-workout-rest-repeat.  It takes a the same amount mentally than it does physically. I have regrets,  I should have had physio everyday instead of 3 days per week,  I should have strengthened my legs more,  I should have ate more food,  I'm skinny af.  My starting weight was 75kg and I'm now a whopping 61kg.

My fear is that I Dont get back the fat/muscle I had prior to surgery,  like on my legs,  hips etc. My doc and physio tell me I will but it's really hard to imagine, coz I am absolutely thin. If anybody has gained back the weight they lost during LL let me know plz,

I had one infection.  I caught it late though so for those who are doing this surgery,  your pins need to be checked at least once every 2 days. It started off with pain, the more I would do exercises and stretches,  the more the skin got damaged making it easier to get an infection. It begun with pain then, redness followed by swelling. I had minimal puss and my doctor squeezed it out and stitched up part of the skin.

Ye it was painful

As for mobility,  just imagine 2 metals sticking out the sides of your femur. It can be challenging but I got used to it.
