It seems that Dr. Pili recommends internal methods for femur lengthening.
Hey shadow! , how is your mobility now? Are you abel to walk small distance(100-200m) around the house, using crutches, without much pain?
Yep, even if it's difficult for you, please try to provide the most detail and maybe evidence that you can of your whole LL journey with Pili. He's one of the most respected and promoted doctors here, but his diaries are very lacking in information. You'd be doing us all a great favor.
Thank you, Shadow.
Great a diary with the doctor and method I wanted to do !
Cheers man !

My room is small. Crutches can be a liability. They are only useful when I go outside. Crutches allow me to lean my body further without falling, which means bigger pace and faster walk. My knees are not as flexible as they used to be. So I walk like a zombie -- small pace and wiggling. But other than that, I am pretty ok.

I am studying and lengthening at the same time. Everything is in a bit rush. Should you have any doubts, just ask.
I started lengthening today. I don't know whether any of you have once worn a tooth bracelet. The feeling is exactly the same. Each time the fixator is tuned, I feel a sense of discomfort, which will disappear once my body got used to it. The problem is that I have to tune the fixator once every eight hours, which means this discomfort is everlasting. There is a saying that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. I am glad that I have friends who would buy me cooking ingredients twice a week, an experienced doctor and a senior nurse who are just a phone away, a roommate who is willing to sacrifice parties and music just not to disturb me. A thought used to trouble me that I could have gone to a better university if it were not for this surgery. But now I started to fall in love with pizza, gelato and everything about Italy. I might even consider living in Italy after graduation.
