Good excuses for CLL

Quote from: BelowTheMean on March 18, 2021, 05:58:49 PMIf your parents are the right age, then they'll probably think that they shrank rather than you grew. That's what I'm betting on.

Don't cheat them with this excuse.The old will shrink by 3-4cm at most if they don't have kyphosises.Most patients are apt to grow taller by 5-12cm and that amount of growth will deny your parents' shrinking.

The only thing I'm going to deny is that I grew taller. No one can prove anything

Easiest solution - wear lifts eg. shoes from tallmenshoes.com for 6-10 months before the surgery. Everyone will get used to you being "taller." Then when you get the surgery wear the flattest shoes you can find after to minimize it so there is no observable difference.

I bought some lift shoes from that site but I haven't been wearing them because of the Stryde thing I'm kind of in limbo unless I want to go Betz which I'm not convinced on at the moment. Otherwise, that was my plan.

Yup this and also working out and increasing your chest and shoulder size, you can always just claim that you look taller because you started working out

Thanks for the advice guys. @SPhantom and @Maximize i agree with both of you 100 percent. I was planning to get really fit like put on 20 pounds of muscle before i see ppl again so if they ask why i look different i can just say that. Also i've been wearing shoe lifts too. gradually going up in inches as well on them to get ppl used to seeing me at that height. Issue is tho when i'm in a setting with no shoes like someones house watching a boxing fight for example, then theres no option. it basically undoes everything i was tryin to do. No one ever asked me why i look taller but of course the ppl who are 2 to 3 inches shorter or taller or same height notice but don't say anything. The thing i'm afraid of tho is that, that when i have my shoes on they don't but what if when i don't have shoes on. they'll for sure then notice i've gotten taller which is why i feel it is imperative to do something different like be in the best shape of my life i ever been in or color my hair blue to distract them from what really happened lmao. Honestly tho i know for me it wont be an issue and worse case scenario if anyone finds out or knows i don't care tbh cause its a'lot worse for me to constantly live being in my own head about being shorter than average height vs being average height and someone knowing i did cll. For sure my parents will notice but i plan to tell them after so they don't worry and try to convince me out of it. The reason why i ask for a good alibi for 3 months is cause i want to do this in WPB with Dr. Paleys and his staff and he requires you to stay for 3 months which i like that idea a'lot. It shows me how serious and professional they are. I work for myself so getting the time off shouldn't be an issue hopefully depending on how things are going during a given quarter.
