Btw after 6 months now i’m getting really sick and i just want to get my life back, i can’t imagine having another 3 months ahead of me, i just want to get a shower, get an haircut and go back to lifting, i look really neglected compared to before the surgery
I understand your pain, but never forget: No Pain, No Gain.
In a couple of months from now, you will look back and be proud of yourself.
The pain of being short is greater than this.

Any update Rei?
Are you walking now?

I can since about a month ago almost but Dr Pili told me not to for now, i will meet him again in a week and take the new X Ray
can you drive the car?

Weird, my doctor told me he will insist on me trying to stand at-least a little bit in the first days after the surgery.
He really thinks this is the way to a quick, less painful and overall successful recovery.
Dr. Pili doesn't believe in standing and walking ASAP?

tattoos over it
you can also make laser
what is your skin color ? rather pale / tanned / brown ?
Quote from: Nameless on December 02, 2019, 05:08:09 PMI'm planning the same thing.
I'll tattoo one leg and laser the other one. I'm tanned with a lot of hair, so I guess the scars won't be visible.
Yeah I'll see how the scars develop in the next 1-2 years. They might get less visible once the sun darkens the scars. My legs are weirdly darker (brown) than the rest of my body, that makes the scars even more visible so far because the scars are quite white. There is also something called permanent make up, maybe that's an option too. Maybe a mix of permanent make up, laser and a tattoo...

Buy a hair trimmer and trim your hair to a few mm on your own 
I did that and it was relieving. The hair will grow back anyways. It looks tidier and makes it easier to wash them.
I understand you but this will get over, too.

IMO, the best combo is tattooing one leg, since tattooing both of them looks weird, then laser the other one and having a permanent make up on the stubborn scars that are left.
I doubt anyone will be able to notice you've had anything done on your legs.

Yes but aided what ment was completely unaided

I see... well, that sounds reasonable.
Met Dr Pili today, said he can remove the right fixator next month and in the months the other one, i was honestly way too lazy and just asked if i can remove them together at this point and be done with, i live in Rome and i’m supposed to go to Lecco, which takes about 4 hours in train, he also told me that i can walk unaided, my gait tho without shoes especially is pretty bad.
So if everything goes well i will remove my ExFix about 9 months after my initial surgery, with a total gain of 7cm? I don’t even know at this point.
