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.

There is literally no way to get out of this. How do you explain yourself being taller? Unless your parents are the most naive people on the planet, they will know you're lying.

Go for lon and stay away until the frames are off. A lot easier to convince them then and they will know somethings wrong when your taller.

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.

I would rather tell them I had growth spurt. Plus your 20 so it's not impossible to have a little growth at that age.

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.

Hiding this procedure from those you live with is almost impossible and will almost certainly add a high amount of unneeded stress and pressure during a highly stressful and difficult time. I would advise you speak with them.

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.

They cut your balls off. Who cares what they think? Even though you're only planning two inches this time around you're planning to go for two more. They will definitely know you did this procedure. I wouldn't bother trying to explain it to them until after you get the procedure. You're gonna tell them you broke your legs and they will wonder why you will have frames on instead of a cast. Literally there's no way around this. Do it and then tell them the truth if you want too. Don't make up a ridiculous story that will probably fool a 12 year old.

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.
