how to strike balance between privacy and support during ll ?

Edit Post

i have been reading that it is advisable to get a family member with you during lengthening for support. i can imagine how that might help because you are going to be crippled and unlike other operations, this is a f#@king continuous 3 month battle.

but at the same time i think during the good days you would lose out on your sense of privacy big time if there is always someone next to you.

how do you achieve a balance? for example, if you were to take a helper with you, would you make the helper stay with you in your hotel room? or would you give her a separate room so you can have some privacy?

also how much true is it that you always need a companion with you? can you manage without one one some days?

problem with internals for me is you do not know when to stop one leg. what if you can not get the other leg to the same length afterwards?

i am very confused if i should have family members around me or not. i do not want to traumatise them. but i do not know if i can stay stable all alone either.

if the nails are weight bearing i will such an easy time taking care of myself but they are not.
