How can your goal be 10 cm´s when the nail can only distract 75mm´s? I wonder if some european Dr. would be willing to use this nail, Sarin sounds so risky.
Whish you all the best,
Greetings
Alittletooshort: Thank you for the well wishes. I think the nail only recommends to distract 75mm maximum. I read Sweden's experience on it tho not much details were provided but he said it is possible. It's still really new, i think i will see how it goes for myself and share the experience with all here. Cheers! 
Namastee! Meera naam Merlion hai! - "Hi! My name is Merlion!" in Hindi language. I'm typing this update partially high on anaesthesia. So I don't know if i make any sense when i finish typing.
So it's been really good here in New Delhi. Food is good, people are nice and i'm loving the chill weather here. It's really hard to get internet connection here, I finally managed to get my own 4G. Sorry for not updating my diary for awhile, it's really because of the crawling internet speed. I'm now at the Hospital recovering before I move back to the guest house probably on 7th Dec.
Throwback a little
On 29th Nov: I landed in Delhi, settled down at the guest house at Gurgaon. I met 5 patients undergoing limb lengthening with Dr Sarin at the guest house from Vietnam, Sweden, Australia, India and USA. I also met my physiotherapist, he's rly kind. They are real people. They are really really nice. The atmosphere here is great - at least i'm really happy to have friends here. They shared with me their experience with external and internal. Some of them were second times lengthening their limbs. I'm the youngest here. I felt I was treated like their little brother, I guess I'm really lucky.
On 29th Nov - 2nd Dec: I went exploring Taj Mahal, Qutb Minar and all those wonderful forts near Delhi. It's amazing. Definitely a must catch. In the noon, I moved my stuff to the hospital. I met Dr Sarin in person for the first time, he is a friendly nice gentlemen - really. We had a short chat addressing all of my concern and then I checked in and chilled in my ward. I wasn't allowed to eat after 12 am for the surgery.
On 2nd Dec: Really nervous the whole morning. A few doctors came to talk to me about the surgery. And then soon after, I was pushed to the outside of operating theatre from my room. I was panicking and anxious. They put me to sleep at about 11 am and the next thing i know i'm awake waiting to be pushed to my room at 4 pm. No pain at all, aside from the small pain from injecting of stuff like antibiotics and etc through the IV drip. I felt really weak - i was also given oral painkillers and sleeping pills. I don't know how much i took but i just knew i was flying and laughing a lot. I didn't have much trouble sleeping. My eye mask and ear plug helped! Thanks to the advice found on forum. The doctors and hospital staff will come in your room very frequently to clean the room, change bed sheets and check on you. So yup definitely get eye mask and ear plugs!
On 3rd Dec: I woke up. The first thing i asked was ICE CREAM. Weird craving after a night rest from surgery... And then the nurses laughed. Tried wiggling my feet. My left leg is fine. I have some trouble moving my right leg though - it's really numb i can't feel anything. This is when the song "When your legs don't work like they used to before" become super relatable to me. Ok i'm just kidding. The doctor said it's normal and it will come back - i have faith in that. I met my leg lengthening care taker today. He seems cool. 
On 4th Dec: Things here are really slow. It's important that you find things to occupy your time. Otherwise it can get boring. Like seriously, boring. I talk to people a lot and then i sleep a lot too. So time is okay for me without internet. But now with internet, i can feel that my days can be a lot more productive. I recommend Airtel 4G portable mobile wifi. It tops the speed here in India.
That's all for now. I will keep you guys updated! Stay tuned. 
why can't you move your legs immediately after surgery?
I am curious. Anesthesia is general anyway, when you awaken, shouldn't your legs also awaken?
I don't know, i guess your muscles or nerves will get affected after the surgery. I just tried and I realised can move my right toes and ankle now - Woohoo! So both of my legs toes and ankles are moveable now.
They gonna stop injecting me with Fentanyl painkiller tmrw. I will update tmrw on how i feel without the injected Fentanyl. Ok good night guys.
//Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate drug which is a powerful painkiller and tranquilliser. First day after my surgery i was given a higher dosage. Subsequently, it's at 2ml/hour.
Good for you! Best of luck.
Don't do more than 7cm. You will look very weird have those long ass femurs and low knees.
If all goes well I'm interested to join you. Give my best regards to Dr Sarin.
Congrats for going through with the surgery
Good luck wth dr sarin
