Thanks guys!
The catheter was removed yesterday, I'm ready to take the first shower by myself and start walking with crutches. It's like a déjà vu.
I left the clinic on the 14th of march and I'm back to mic now. Since I already know the whole process it seems that time flies by. Considering I'm only taking one tramadol per night, pain seems to be in very good levels and I'vent had troubles in sleeping. Infact, I believe the pain is even less than before. I've been asked before in my diary to show a pic of my scars and I might do so soon, you'll realize that Dr. Monegals technique leaves his patients with very good scars, you can verify that by visiting Bohemia's diary if you haven't done so. There was one thing however, that was concerning me yesterday, not sure why I only noticed it yesterday. My tibia dances a bit sideways as if the muscle that controls it was numb and, when I asked Dr. Monegal why is that, he said hit must be muscle weakness. I was worried because I never had this feeling on the left leg but the explanation makes sense. I'm hoping I will be able to control it's movements again as the swelling goes down and I start using my leg muscles again.
As for the leg that was initially operated, it's doing great and I'm confident it will recover to nearly 100%. It's all about working on it's flexibility now.
Yesterday I went to the hospital to have my stiches removed and by looking at my legs, it didn't look like I had a huge surgery. Someone has asked me in my diary to post a pic of my scarring and I will do that in 2 weeks or so. I've yet to feel any pain but I know it will appear once I hit 2 or 3cm's of lengthening.
Funny episode: Yesterday I got out of the taxi when I arrived at the hospital (it was already dark) and was about to get past the entrance when I noticed I didn't have the wallet in my pocket. I looked back and the taxi was leaving, I found myself chasing and literally running on crutches while shouting "hey!stop!". I eventually caught up thanks to the traffic jam and retrived my wallet. That was the first since I had my operation that I really missed the ability to run xd

OMG, what a shock! Glad you made it and got the wallet back!

Yeah, MM was with me and she had a face of someone who was like "the fk is that guy doing chasing the taxi?" xD I was really lucky that the taxi got stuck in the traffic.
I'm around the 2cm mark by now and will have x rays this week. That feeling that I had in right leg is almost gone, now its just pain from lengthening. This time I don't think about slowing down, I wanna finish as soon as possible. I'm really ansious and excited to finish the lengthening phase because my left leg feels so good that I'm expecting my right leg to follow the same path, which means I'll be walking and doing most of the normal things in 2 months or so.
My next update will include x rays of both legs and a picture of my scars 
Today I went to have x-rays with Helloworld and 2 more patients. I am at 28 days post 2nd op and ~4 months and a half post 1st op. This is how they look like:
And as promised, this is a pic of my scars, 28 days after operation. I tried to zoom in as much as possible so you can clearly see how they truly look like so you don't get deceived. 1st pic shows the incision scar (3cm long) and the screws scar. the 2nd pic shows the scar that is created to insert the nail, its barely noticeable and it's only 28 days in.
If you want my true opinion, I've seen patients with better scars but it really depends on your skin. There're some things that neither you nor the doctor can control. That being said, my scars still look good and will look even better as the time goes on.
Hey guys, it's been a while.
I almost forgot this forum existed. I am 1 week post lengthening phase and I am now walking unaided with a small limp which is fading away day by day. I've now departed from Mics, back to my own country. I will miss some people I left behind and made sure I thanked Dr. Monegal properly for the amazing job he has done with my legs.
To Helloworld: Once we meet again let's record each other running side by side and post the video here. Let's see whos the fastest Dr. Monegal's patient

Good idea! Let's do that.
I heared Yagan will be visiting Barcelona. Let's see if he is also up for a competition. :-)
