Day 19 after the operation (Thursday 11 / February / 21):
The night was very good! From 2:30 to 9:00 I didn't wake up, I took a pain reliever and we stayed in bed relaxed until 10:00.
I got up with almost no discomfort, only a small impingement in my right knee and a contracture of my left quadriceps, so I was able to walk with crutches around the room without problem.
In the morning I did a little exercise with the help of my wife 😁 Then we went out late in the morning to take a walk down the street with the wheelchair. After eating we have been relaxed, without leaving the room the rest of the day. Today we have not gone down to the pool or the gym. After dinner and lengthening my legs with the machine, I stretched my muscles and we went to bed early to watch a movie on the tablet.

Day 20 after the operation (Friday 12 / February / 21):
This time I was able to sleep well again. We fell asleep around 12:30 and when I woke up from pain at 1:30 I took a pain reliever. At 7:00 I woke up and took a pain reliever, but I couldn't get much sleep anymore. At 8:00, after tossing and turning, I got up for breakfast.
Today is a very important day, I have my first X-ray since I started to lengthen my legs with the machine. Today the doctor came at 10:30 (after having been all night and the entire day before working in the hospital) to confirm that everything was perfect.
I have gone to the clinic closest to the residence to do an X-ray of my legs. When the doctor saw the X-ray he was very happy😁.
I have grown 1.26 cm in both legs and the formation of bony callus is beginning to be seen 
.
Then we went out for a walk down the street, I was in a wheelchair, and at 1 o'clock I had my last physiotherapy session in Barcelona. We have been going over some specific stretching and muscle building exercises to regain lost muscle tone these days. In the afternoon we have been relaxing on the sofa for a while and we have gone out again to take the last walk through Barcelona before returning home😁. In the late afternoon we went down to the gym to move our legs on the elliptical trainer. On Saturday morning we returned to Madrid with our children, so we went to bed shortly after dinner to travel rested.
All the best

Quote from: FSchez on February 18, 2021, 06:53:14 PMThanks ghkid!! Your level of spanish is also good. When I was 19, I was given a sports scholarship to study in Iowa and play soccer. I spent 8 months living there, but it has been a long time, because of this I say that my level of English is not very good ... so if there are any wrong words or phrases that is the reason...

My preferences are different now than when I was 20 years old 
.
Finally, I was not lucky to become a professional soccer player so I would be happy if when my recovery is over I can play sports just for fun and have good mobility.

Thanks my friend!
Now I am going through some days of intense pain ... I have 2 cm elongated and sometimes I find it difficult to bear the pain, so I had to stop lengthening my legs for today to give a break to the muscles, nerves, tendons ...
Soon I will continue to update the diary and will also publish new videos.

Taking breaks is OK. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy the process, enjoy your family, enjoy every moment of it... No need to push yourself. I took several breaks during my lengthening and hung out with my Dad and friends.
How much time did it take for you to reach 6cm...or whtever u lengthened?🙂
