Quote from: U only live once on November 13, 2017, 05:23:23 PMHi there,

I have been in this exact situation just a while ago. Career at this stage of my life is very important so the only way I found to sneak out was taking a month off from work and having the surgery broken in two stages, unilateral lengthening!! Right now I am working again and everyone think I had a correction surgery. While having one good leg you can still work however some days are a bit hard. In three weeks I will be achieving my goal and preparing for the second surgery (maybe January or February).

Prior having your surgery just make comments that you had a deformity in your bones that need correction so people at work don't act too surprised.

One more thing I must advise is the study while doing LL as from experience I did my last CPA component while doing LL. it is hard!! At least it was for me ! Your brain is constantly fatigued and often times you will feel tired , specially the first four to five weeks. As you slow down in your intake of pain killer things start to improve.

Anyways I wish u good luck.


Thanks a lot, very helpful. I have a few questions, would you be OK if I ask those in a pm? thanks
