Hey MyEvolution,
I've been following your journey for months. Thanks for your fantastic diary so far. I have a question regarding the lengthening schedule. For the first 7 days of lengthening, I was doing 1mm a day in tibias. Following that, I am doing 0.75mm a day for the next 85 days. What was your lengthening schedule like?

I can't speak to his schedule but I'm told Paley usually limits tibia patients to 0.75mm/day.

I too have been told to go down to 0.5mm and I agree, it's quite a bummer. Feels like things take forever.

I know man like i was getting ready to go home in a week
Now my trip got extended another 50 DAMN DAYS
this will break you down
Femurs was WAY WAY EASIER DO NOT DO TIBIAS
Update:
Lengthening starts tomorrow
Back to using a cane
Painful but i’m strong enough to use a cane so gonna stick with it
50 days is nothing in life mate, it will be over soon and you will not have to do any of this again 
Keep your spirits up!
===============
Which country are you from ?
I am particularly worried about a situation like yours. I can stay in US for only 90 days per visit. If I overstay, I may not be allowed to enter in the future. Having to stay another 50-60 days would be impossible. But imagine paying so much money and to cut short your goal to leave the country.
Edit: Just saw your Canadian. So you guys can stay for 180 days eh? Lucky you! 
Do you know what other people from outside do at paley institute? 90 days is too short and MOST country people are allowed to stay only for 90 days. 3 days to set up everything in WPB, then surgery, then 7 days of no lengthening and you are left with exactly 80 days for lengthening. One complication and it's over. There is no easy way for me to stay for 180 days.

For me, I calculated 6 weeks at the certain rate, 5 if things improve.
