    I had an operation today. I entered the operating room at a  G-nail with Dr.Giotikas G-nail with Dr.Giotikas G-nail with Dr.Giotikas:)round 8 o'clock and returned to the ward around 2 o'clock.  I haven't felt any pain yet, and the doctor told me to start doing some simple stretches to aid recovery.  I got a lot of help because of the forum, so I can answer your questions without compromising privacy.

Dear Sir, I hope everything goes well.

How much did you choose to length?

On the femur?

I only asked for five centimeters, if all goes well, I may extend to five and a half centimeters.

Today I started to practice standing and moving and I have to say it's a lot of work and I have to put most of my weight on my hands.  After ten steps with the walker I was sweating profusely and had to stop to rest.

It's only your first day after surgery. It will get easier.

How is the pain? What meds have they given you to manage pain?

I didn't feel any pain.  I don't have any oral medication for the time being except the infusion, they gave me oral painkillers, but I didn't use them.

 :)I tried going up and down the stairs today, it was really physical work.  I was transferred to the new single ward which I have to say is definitely VIP level, unfortunately I will be discharged tomorrow and will only be here for a day. G-nail with Dr.Giotikas
