There are sometimes shocks of nerve pain but nothing severe, they are annoying at most. At the beginning was my so called adaptation period and since I was not used to wearing frames I was also in a state of shock but now I feel much better. The first like 2-3 weeks the pain is very much there and I felt every nerve but now absolutely no pain. At night I do not sleep, I prefer to sleep around 4 am and when I am in bed for a bit too long I can feel my knee area kind of acting up, I do not know the correct term for this but I can assure you it is nothing serious. What I do for that is wrap a t shirt and use it as a sort of knee brace which deadens the very minor annoyance.

I am renting my own apartment and I pay 600 euro for the 1 bedroom apartment right in the city centre. All other costs add up to about 500 euro for me because I focus a lot on food and getting the right vitamins and the best product. Cannot think of anything else on the top of my head but if I think of anything concrete I will make sure to update you all.

One of the best things about Istanbul is the delivery services, you do not need to leave the house for anything. I even get my x-rays done at home.

So you pay like 1k a month there,maybe their 20k package isn't that bad then,i'm wondering if they give supplements and medication with it though,you payed 16k right ? Does it include the physio ? About that,how is it going for you,you train everyday ? How was your flexibility before the op ?

I am a swimmer and my flexibility has always been very good to be honest. In regard to the medication and physio that would come out of your own pocket as far as I know but you have to ask directly with Dr. Buldus team.

How about your daily routine ? Do you have enough energy and focus to study/work on your computer ? Do you go outside often or you're 24/7 in your flat ?

.

My focus has been pretty good the last few weeks. Work is easy for me and it is a good time killer. I prefer not to go outside but I do sometimes to get some air. I am in the city centre and as you would imagine it is very busy so I avoid going out. This LL gave me quite the time to think about future plans too so it is not all that bad.

Month and a half left and I am finished so lets just hope it flies.

You're going for the full 8cms ? I saw that Dr Buldu allow some patients to go beyond that,8.5/9.5cm some at 10cms

I want 10cm, as my flexibility is really good and at almost 5cm now I feel nothing. I am 90 percent sure I can gain the full 10cm but I am taking it 1cm at a time.

Wow thats insane man,i'm really interesting going with Dr Buldu,20k would turn LL from a dream into a reality,and i don't want to do it too late,i'm already about to turn 26yo,from what i read,it's way more preferable to do externals on tibias,however in my case i already have relatively long tibias,so it wouldn't look very nice to do +5cm on them,would almost make them like my femurs
