Quote from: StrydeNailChallenge on September 23, 2020, 02:30:47 PMDear brondo,   Nice to hear from you.  I use alarms, only when I am going to take a nap and I am afraid that I would not wake up in time (I need about 20 minutes to stretch before doing the distraction. If I miss on that 20-minute stretching session, my post-distraction time would be more painful).

I don't use any journals, excel sheets, etc.  Instead I try to remember the schedule of the day. So far I have rarely made mistakes. I think many others most likely do like me, cause remembering 3 or 4 time marks for daily distractions would not be too hard, even with Gabapentin (which results in memory loss [I think short term memory loss only]).

The new height is exciting! Especially during COVID-19 when we are all at home and there is not much excitement other than all virtual stuff in the Internet and TV; growing feels and looks so exciting!   

I recommend to all to have a tall mirror and enjoy the process. I did not do this myself, but taking pictures for memories, sounds like a good idea

To be honest I often do double distractions (twice in a row, 0.5mm) just out of laziness and so far I haven't felt any more pain.

my7liam,

Thanks for sharing this. Just to clarify, you mean based on your Dr.'s instructions, you are supposed to do two 0.5mm sessions, adding up to 1mm per day, and you often do both together (i.e., do 1mm in one session) say in the morning and for the rest of the no more distractions?

Hi, SNC.

I greatly appreciate you keeping us updated with your diary. I hope all is well.

Do you plan on uploading some video's of your walk, etc?

Thanks.

Thanks for replying SNC,

I would like to hear more about your stretching routine and PT if that's okay. Do you stretch before and after distraction?

4 sessions of 0.25 each but I just usually do 2 sessions of 0.5mm each

I am very sorry for being absent for a long time. I am extremely busy with my job, but other than that, there is no surprises and nothing out of the ordinary to report. Will soon come back here to add the daily details.

No need to be sorry, the fact that you are even keeping a detailed log for strangers while going through hell is more than impressive already. Glad that everything is according to plan.

Nice of you to say that ghkid2019 bro. I have not seen any of you, but feel like we are on this together like brothers and sisters and we have a LL Love and care for each other. I hope we all succeed.

I took this as a challenge. It certainly has been my biggest physical challenge of my life. I those things that I used to think as crazy (like jumping down stairs so crazy that whoever looks at it, gets a heart attack) are nothing compared to this. This is a mind game as well. It's about how you can focus and achieve your goal. I am good at it, but there are so many random parameters, even the best of us may lose.

I hope whoever has doubts in continuing towards the goal, stops by here and gets energy from the group, so to continue to the end.

I have three major deadlines coming today and tomorrow. I hope starting sunday I can resume posting my daily reports.
