Hi Rei
I am just so shocked that you had to leave two days after the surgery.  Perhaps it may be doable but I don't know.  I stayed in the hospital for 4 days, and others stayed at least 3 days, although it was stryde
Take pain medicines such as tramadol or oxycodone every 4-5 hours, as long as they are available. You need them at least for 2-3 weeks to heal your surgery trauma.  After that, you will feel a little better.
Stay strong and be positive.  Time goes by no matter what!
Cheers,

Good luck my friend I wish you all the best.

Just think a year from now you'll be about 173cm with a good pair of boots and will be taller than the vast majority of women without them.
You'll experience almost no discrimination for your heigh anymore.

Im not sleeping at all but today in the morning i feel better overall.

The thing is as soon as indo a couple of step it hurts and it keeps hurting for some minutes, Dr Pioi said to walk but not too much otherwise the fixator will get loose.

The 20 of this month i will start the lenghting and the 22 i will meet with Dr Pili to remove the stiches.

Btw my left leg only cracks everytime i walk or move it even in the bed while the right one dosn’t, i guess is normal.

Not even a week after the surgery i feel so much better, my improvements are huge everyday and pain is almost gone.

Still can’t sleep very well cause i have to wear slippers the whole time with underneath some rubber bands to “fight” ballerina foot, so my feet are extremely warm everytime and they hurt a bit, if i remove the slippers and the rubber bands during the night atleast, my legs start to hurt because fixator prevents the feet from resting on top of the bed and they are left just there hanging and for some reason after a while my whole legs hurt.

I can walk pretty quickly and almost do everything with the walker and this is only 5 days post op even my mother said she didn’t expect that.

Dr Pili gave me some exercises that i need to do daily and there is one that i have a lot of trouble doing, laying on the bed with my belly and the leges outside the bed and pretty much do an alternate “leg curl” like in the gym, the pain doing this is huge and even without pain i have barely the strenght to move my legs, other than that i feel much better

Very high, i had 6 hours tattoo sessions in some bad spots like my back or ribs and i endure it.

Huge pain from the surgery was only immediately after i woke up and a couple of days after, the thing is dealing with pain+discomfort+going from a very healthy guy to a 110 years old man in a day. The discomfort is far worse than the pain
