I think I used Lieferando once but food is taken care of at the hotel when you leave the hospital.  And the food is actually great.

I don't see anyway possible this is doable alone for the first 2 weeks at least with the surgical pain. everything is hard to do that used to be basic. everything is painful. If you can hire a caretaker then yeah you can do it like that but theres also a lonely aspect to this for your mental health that will weigh down on you to. Are you going to have a pt come to you or go to them? getting around isn't easy unless you use a wheelchair accessible ride which isn't cheap at all. Too many people on here make it seem like this is very easy but this requires a lot of work and you have to really want it bad enough to put up with everything that will come along the way. So if you have unlimited funds then yes this can be easier than it would be for most but things like the pain that'll come from it. learning how to use a walker with broken legs, stretching with broken legs you wont be able to avoid these parts. Having to get up at 3 am to use the washroom will be painful with broken legs. In my opinion it's best to have someone with you for sure the whole journey or at least for half of it. I wouldn't recommend to even my worse enemy to do this alone.

totally agree, I am currently lengthening at 3cm now. Have broke down a little less than 10 times to get to where I am now. The leg pains and the helplessness without anyone to help you. Hiding this from your love ones, and you can’t tell them that you are suffering and having no one to care for you is truly devastating. This is one of the hardest things a person can go through. Doing it alone is suicidal.

lol no one said it is easy but he asks if it is possible. I did it alone, so the answer is yes it is possible. Like yes it's painful, but a caretaker isn't going to help relieve the pain for you. You still have to   on your own. All they do is get food for you and what not, and you can do that without pain on a wheelchair around the house.

100 percent agreed and i have help part time and decided to hire a care taker part time while their busy. just gettin gout of bed and not knowing how your legs will feel on a given day like will it hurt today sitting on a toilet seat or not is very taxing. i consider myself to have a very high threshold for pain but this is non stop pain given the phase you're in. I definitely got depressed my first few weeks out here alone missing my life and family routine. Just have to keep reminding yourself you'll go back a new and improved version of yourself. Stay strong and good luck the rest of the way of your journey.

For sure i see your point. I just think you should be careful the way you phrase this cause not everyone can handle isolation well. Being lonely and doing this might just be as bad as the physical pain that comes from this and if you group those together and keeping this a secret thats a disaster waiting to happen. We're all on this forum to help each other out and should be giving responsible advice.

Most people do this surgery alone since understandably most aren't exactly jumping for joy to tell their friends and family they're spending tens of thousands of dollars to break their own legs.

If you can't handle 3-4 months of isolation in return for 3 inches more height, you're a weak willed cuck who deserves to remain a manlet. It is what it is, victory only goes to the strong.
