Quote from: Jim_dabarber on December 01, 2017, 05:07:05 AMAlright guys today is the day. I arrived in st petersburg russia nov 28 had comsultation with dr. Kulesh and dr solomon. Both very experienced doctors who answered all my Qs and who i consider genually caring people as theyve been helping me get situated here and helping me with any needs i may need. I am 26 years young. 165cm with a wingspan of 170cm. Ill be doing cross - lengthening in 2 steps. First step will be right upper femur + left lower limb. LON will be with femur and traditional illizorav with lower leg. Once lengthening is complete i will remove femur frame and lock in the nail and wait for bones to consolodate before starting on the next step which will be left femur + right lower limb. I will be lengthening back in my hometown in the united states for personal reasons. Personally i think with the help of supporting family one can get thru such an event like this better instead of being in a foreign country where you cant even order something to eat let alone explain your needs to the nurses. I am waiting to go into surgery now. Hopefully everything goes great! A bit nervous but so glad im finally going thru with this. Ill keep updating as soon as i can.
I really don’t understand this. How can someone with these bulky frames on one femur and one tibia, fly back on a long haul flight to lengthen at home?? I’m genuinely confused. How is this possible or safe?? What if something goes wrong?? I’m sorry I’m finding a lot of this information very confusing. Can’t wait now to have consultations to ask full questions.
Cross lengthening in st petersburg russia
Could you update the diary if you're around Jim?
How are you feeling after all this time, Jim?
can you please upload a video with your walking/running/jumping?
Alright, i dont own a labtop or computer as i have no use for one and i couldnt blurr my dang face out so here it is. Unedited video of a little jog and a few jumps. I recorded this video after jogging for 2 miles straight so im already wore out and tired and 3-4 screws were bothering me by this time. Criticize all you want guys:)

Im also posting a 2 week post nailing picture and a 1 year post nailing picture. I have been hitting legs 2 times a week for the last 2 months. Before that i was really slacking, just focusing on regaining full rom on both ankles and knees.

good video jim da barber. thank u for being honest.
honest opinion= ur running is not good. some hip sideway movement is visible. and agility is reduced. work hard and u may be able to improve it !
atleast there is some evidence of a russian patient who did cross lateral lengthening and is happy and doing not so bad.
You look great!

I know its not perfect but after 3.5 inches of lengthening i am more than happy. Im sure itll only get better. Just need to run more often.
