Dr. Paley's team negotiates the price for the hotel for you and you have to mention that you're doing surgery with Dr. Paley to get that special rate. I don't know if it's still $70/night now, because I heard from a patient that they were raising prices.
As an update on my progress, I did some experiments to see if it was my weak muscles that were causing the pain or if it's the rods in my legs. I don't know why I didn't do this before. I went to my pool and went through all the ranges of motion while weightless to see if any pain was triggered by simply putting my legs in a certain angle. It turns out that if I move my legs slow enough, then no pain is triggered. But if I exert any force, then my muscles ache. I'm starting to realize that the pain is just from weak muscles from lack of use. So now every day is just leg day for me. I am getting stronger in my legs and it's quite amazing how fast it's recovering. Just a week ago, I couldn't do leg side raises without it hurting or getting tired after only a few. But now I can do over 20 without it getting tired. Although my legs still hurts while just sitting around doing nothing, I'm a bit more optimistic about my recovery, and I'm starting to believe that I could probably be pain free finally with just a few more months of building my muscles back.
Things I still can't do:
- Squatting down without it hurting. Not actually moving, but just staying in the squatting position still hurts in my knees. Possibly because the angle is totally different now so my center of gravity is further back now because of my longer femurs. My knees don't like it.
- Getting up from a squat. I can't do it without using my arms to help.
- Running. I can power walk, but my legs don't feel flexible enough to run yet. Also there was some pain when I landed hard from doing a power walk, so I don't think my bones are strong enough yet to hold the impact of running.
- Doing side leg raises without it hurting eventually - hurts more on the left leg. This is improving, though, after adding more side leg raises to my daily exercises. This is something that the Paley PT team didn't really make me do a lot. So pay attention, folks who are with Paley, do your side leg raises.
- Walking for long distances with my legs feeling really sore afterwards. I walked maybe 3-5 miles a few days ago, and I had to take a whole rest day the day afterwards because of how sore my legs felt. This is improving as well.
- Play sports well. I can't run, so...
- Get up every morning without tightness and pain in my legs. This might be because I'm working out my legs everyday. But I've made almost no progress here lately. My legs are always tight when I don't use them for a while, and it feels sole until I loosen them up again. This is getting annoying, but it's manageable.
- Walking without looking like a penguin. I don't know which muscle is responsible for this, but I still look weird walking.
Things I can do now that I couldn't a month ago:
- Getting up from sitting down. This is easy for me to do now. Little to no pain. I'm pretty happy about this progress, because I was getting tired of having to touch my toilet seat with my hands to get out of my toilet after pooping.
- More than a dozen side leg raises at a time. Just a few weeks ago, I could barely do 10 at a time before the pain became too overwhelming.
- Walking more than a mile. The amount of distance I can walk without the pain becoming overwhelming is increasing.
This is looking good so far.
DoingItForMe's Precice 2 Internal Femurs with Dr. Paley
Nice! Thanks for sharing this info with future LLrs
Can you sit on your knees?If so how long?And does it look so weird?Because probably your feet will be in front because of your long femurs.

I can, but it hurts, and yes it's weird. My feet are in front of my butt. My butt doesn't touch my feet at all. I sit with my legs crossed instead. Sitting on my knees and squatting both feel painful.
I am very happy with your recovery 
He always repeats that he is very rich. A true selfmade millionaire. He says that he has made millions of dollars. So here is the question:
How rich are you? Tell us how much money do you have in your bank account.
