Excuses for live in parents after doing external tibia?

Edit Post

Hi Im doing external tibia lengthening in 2-4 years time and I need ideas of good excuses to give my parents why I have bulky frame son my legs. One excuse is that I broke my legs in an accident overseas and insurance only covers hospital stay and surgery but not frames. I hope my mom dosent try to claim that I am mentally incompetent and arrange to have my frames locked. I live with my parents and age of consent is 18 although age to make legal decisions is 21.

Its only 2 inches. I mean I could just say I had a late life growth spurt since Im only like 20 when I do the surgery. Ill tell them I fell down a structure and broke my legs in russia.

Yep I think Ill just go with the growth plate excuse. They should only notice the height increase after distention where nothing can be done, ie. lock the nail.

My mother would never approve. She might even send me to a psyciatrist. Im gonna try to use the broke my legs ans had surgery jn st petersburg excuse. Im not sure if it will work though.

The people who cut my balls off were my biological parents. My adoptive parents didnt cut them off and ai feel they would probably be against something like that. Im absolutely sure my mother would go crazy if she knew I did this surgery though. They arent too intelligent so I hope they might accept an excuse that the surgical technique is a new one.

Im doing only 2 inches. Im hoping I can pass it off as a late life growth spurt.

I would too but my tibia are much too long to allow for that
 Besides I want to keep my lengthening conservative (6cm)

Im getting my height measured before surgery. If Im only 162 cm I will do 6cm. If I am 163cm or 164cm I will do 5cm only. I just dont want to have overly long tibia. Besides, its pretty risky to legnthen so much.

I actually thought it is common to lose more height with externals bc of the way the fixiators lie.
