Morning 1!
Sleep wasn’t bad at all, I pleaded for painkillers and the nursing staff kindly complied. Sleep wasn’t great because I had been napping the whole day after surgery, oops. Lifting my leg is impossible. I can wiggle my feet and lift my body up by arm, but not comfortably. The monorail is quite heavy on my side, having broken legs also be hindering my ability to lift them 😅
The hospital is very nice, truly a world class institute. Beats a lot of US hospitals tbh.
I do still feel foolish for doing this. I know I won’t regret it when this is all over but gosh, was it worth it? I don’t know. I’m still feeling a little defeated. If you do this procedure, please bring somebody with you. The isolation is not pleasant
Thanks for the well wishes everybody. Please feel free to ask questions, I’m happy to answer anything and everything

It’s not necessarily the religion, it’s because EID holiday people usually parade/party so the government shut down the city from the 3rd to the 17th so their isn’t a corona surge
I see, that’s actually quite smart of them. However there are essential businesses still open, and none of them were allowed to sell me electronic goods 🤔 ah well, Not like I can use my laptop. Thanks for the clarification!!

If you wait until tomorrow everything should reopen, if you want to borrow mines you can for a while
Hang in there the hospital is pretty hard getting through but in a few days you’ll be out
I stood up and got very dizzy. My face turned white, after a few minutes my vision got very very blurry.
Gonna try my baby steps again in 3 hours or so.

Thanks man! But no need, it’s not like I can do anything useful anyways. I really appreciate the kindness 😅 by the way how was your experience standing up?

Standing up with pain meds improved A lot today. It’s just getting up is the hard part. I need a person to help me stand up, but once I’m in that position I can hold it with the assistance of a walker for about 8 minutes I did today. Day but day you improve, walking helps blood circulation so it’s good for you to

8 minutes standing up? Damn that’ must feel like forever. I don’t know how long I stood up for but it was enough to mess around and then to change the sheets. I tried to do a squat lmao but barely moved my waist.
Man this is not easy huh. Are you having any second thoughts? I feel like if I lengthen even 6cm I will be happy. No need to do anything risky or dangerous.

With the help of a walker,
It’s really not I feel a lot better today but I’m still almost like an adult infant without the help of my wife or nurse I can’t even get up to get the walker.
Since you already have a decent starting you might be better off with 6-7, but if it’s not hard to go forward once you get there maybe you can safely push for a little more

I’m really happy to hear you feel a lot better today. The past two days you seemed miserable! It gives me a little hope too. My emotions are all over the place right now concerning this LL business. It’s utterly crazy. But here we are.
Your wife’s here? How does she feel about the entire situation, and the surgery?

I’m still a little depressed being in the hospital but each days seems to get better
She was totally against it however we are past that point now
I’m really hoping I can get discharged tomorrow I miss just being outside so much it’s crazy the little things we take for granted how important they really are
