Man of steel,

Good luck with your recovery. Dr. Donghoon Lee was in my surgery, I did the internal method with fitbone.
Dr Monegal showed him his technique. Besides he was talking about the safest length that you can do without a release in the Achilles heels.

Both said that 4 cms are a safe lengthening, but depends on every patient you can do one cm more.

I remember that I am ready that he did 5 cms, told he was better if he would be done just 4, but Its logical.

Have a good recovery,

Hello,

Good to hear your consolidation is good and you'll remove your frames shortly, please share a set of x-rays with us when you can.

I plan to have my surgery with Dr. Lee in late 2018 perhaps around the time you'll have your nails removed.

Regards,

Sept 24

Finally, I made it to 5cm (: Dr. Lee going to remove the frame in about 3 weeks, so I'm thinking of increasing the length to 5.5cm, 6cm maybe.


Sleeping:  I just want to have a good night of sleep without the frame connected to my legs. I am not a back sleeper, so it is very hard for me to sleep at night without sleeping pills.

Pain: The pain was increasing from 4cm to 5cm. I feel a lot of pain in the morning. The muscles got real tight for both legs and it's really hard to flat footed to stand, but I can walk normally. I'm trying to keep stretching and standing as much as possible. I was 165/166 now I'm 170/171 (: This is a life changing for me being this height. If I can get to 6cm I will be 172cm and I'm going do my best to get close to 6cm.

Stress/depression: My first month was so stressful because I was alone for 1 month. I remember being in pain and hungry all the time. I'm from Los Angeles and I don't have any friends in S. Korea. However, I don't feel depressed/stress anymore(: My girlfriend came to S. Korea to take care of me for 2 months now.
