day 152 -
Its been 10 days since I did the second surgery. I left Clinica Diagonal on Wednesday. The first few nights at MIC I didn't have my pain killers with me and boyyyyy oh boy, I tried to tough it out but then pain was 10/10.
The real challenge now is walking with this temporary discrepancy. See am meant to put parital amount of weight on the left leg (upto 15 kg) and walk with crutches. But one being 6 cm longer and using insoles shoes on the operated leg, makes it tricky. I don't want to wear 6cm platform for obv reasons. However I can walk when with no shoes, I might try walking with just normal shoes (no insoles). I go back to work next week so I will use one leg (right) to move around. Exercise both when I get home from work.

Day 198 -
Its been 56 days since the second surgery (left leg). I did go and see Dr Monegal this weekend gone. My recovery has gone good so far. It feels so amazing standing tall on my right leg, my confidence level has gone up, i am extremely happy and i feel like i got my life back. I haven't stressed about my height in the last 2 months and finally feel comfortable in my own skin. i can focus on other things now and I feel so free 
oh and am wearing shoes that i actually like as i dont need to buy big bulky ones with insoles.
Dr Monegal was pleased with my consolidation and said 25 more days to go (0.8MM a day) to complete lengthening for my left leg.

AND AM FINISHED !!! 
Its been 74 days since the second surgery (left leg). I have done my last pulse today and no more lengthening required I can stand straight, and walk but been advised to use one crutch for a bit like a week until am comfortable without it.
in total it has been 216 days since the first surgery (right leg). I will post a video of me walking. Dr Monegal has been Ace, the surgery couldn't have been any better and my recovery has been good too (I thank God as well).
Now, I just want to see my friends and family again as i have been actively avoiding them as i didnt want anyone to know or see me during this phase.
Good luck to everyone doing LL !
very happy to here that ، good luck dude
well done star ray!
one question, is monegal going stryde in future?
Thank you Atron and bushguy
Yupp, when I went for my check up last month, there was one guy there who just had stryde done.
Great diary. I had missed this.
Doing one leg at a time is an interesting option. Apart from the stress of having to do surgery twice, apart from the extra time spent on LL, apart from feeling pain twice this seems like a safer option in general.
My biggest fear is doing one leg x cm and failing to complete the other leg x cm. That would mean a length discrepancy. Did you discuss this fear with Monegal?
Thanks Cena, and yes, that was a fear of mine too before the surgery. When I went for my initial consultation, that was something Dr Monegal and I discussed and the liklihood was very low and I believed any complications like that would have been resolved.
Hello Everyone!
Its been a while since I posted or been on here.
Recap to anyone whos seeing my Diary first time, I had my first surgery on March 5th 2019 (Right Leg) and then Second on July 24th 2019 )Left Left).
I have been walking and working normally for over a year now. It still feels unreal that I did all of this and gained height. I feel so much more confident in my skin and no longer obsess over height.
The Lockdown has made it impossible to get regular checks up but I have been in contact with the main man himself (Dr Monegal) and am hoping I can get the Nails removed in April.
Good luck to all my fellow Limb lengthers!!
