I'm glad you like my diary, I try to tell in detail what I do and feel during the days, but since lately the days are very similar, from now on I will update the diary when I feel important changes. I will continue to post photos and videos of my progress, because I think that an image or a video is better than updating the sensations every day when they are very similar ...

Nice to hear! Your stretching video highlighted how much I need to stretch before my surgery! 😆; looks like you’ve made it almost 1/2 way very well...appreciate all the notes.  Stay strong amigo!! 💪😁

Hi friends!!
I'm sorry it took so long to post the X-ray photos ... I've been disconnected from my phone and computer all weekend. Since I have started working from home I have very little free time to enjoy my family and the weekend is the time to be with them.
The level of pain during the day remains the same, it is very light most of the day, except for some time that I need to massage and stretch my legs ... The nights are getting better and better, I get to sleep 6 hours without interruptions, I take a pain reliever I go back to sleep shortly after another 2 hours ...
I can walk more and more steps without using crutches, but I keep walking on the street with crutches as a precaution.
I'll be back soon to update the diary.
TODAY I'M IN THE MIDDLE: 4 CMS

Thanks my friend!
I will continue to provide information on my progress because I see that it is useful for people who want to have surgery. It was very important for me to read the experiences of other colleagues who had managed to finish the lengthening process. Videos of teammates walking during lengthening or running after finishing the distraction phase gave me a lot of confidence.
In my case, I was doing stretching exercises for almost 2 months, 2 times a day.
At first it is difficult to stretch your muscles and endure the pain, but every day you gain more flexibility. 💪
It is an effort that I think is worth it and prepares you mentally for the weeks after the operation.

Day 65 after the operation (Monday 29 / March / 21):
Hi friends!!
These last few days I have been quite busy with work and I have been somewhat disconnected from the forum ...
For 10 or 15 days the nights have been very good, I have been able to sleep from 12:30 to 7:00 - 7:30 without discomfort. Just when I wake up I take a pain reliever and start stretching my muscles in bed to calm the stiffness in my legs ...
I can already climb stairs without crutches, slowly and carefully, but it is very rewarding.
Since my operation I have lost almost 2 kilos and I have lost all the muscle mass in my buttocks, but I have also grown almost 5 cm and I feel very good.
When I approach one of my relatives who are about 170 cm tall, I feel very good to see that I am close to their height.
I feel that my insecurity due to my short stature is fading ... because the people around me and my relatives are not tall, so if I reach my goal and reach 169 cms I will feel great, I am sure ... I would only have to win muscle mass to feel strong and fit as before, but with 7-8 cms more ...
On Wednesday I have X-rays, I hope everything goes well ...
I will report back soon on my progress ...

This is a video of my condition 4-5 days ago, walking at home, a little worse than the previous days because of the tension in my hips, which prevents me from bringing my legs together when walking ... 
I am doing exercises to improve posture. .. I hope to publish soon a new video doing better ...

Day 67 after the operation (Wednesday 31 / March / 21):
Hey!!
I have good news
The X-ray today shows that the lengthening goes in the correct way... I had a physiotherapy session and I have talk to the doctor and they said me that the bones look well
Today I didn't lengthening session with the machine cause I have spend the last three days with tension in my hips and legs.
I will post the X-rays tomorrow.
This is a video of me walking at home, today, a little better than the last days, I think...

Thanks a lot Serilium!!
I haven't asked the doctor if he did, but I don't think so. Yesterday I spoke with him and he recommended doing specific stretching exercises to stretch the tensor muscles of the fascia lata. Also the physiotherapist is helping me with electro stimulation treatments and massage techniques to relax the outer area of ​​the legs that is still quite tense ... The next time I talk to the doctor, if I keep walking with my legs apart, I will ask him about what you asked me
