I'm glad you clarified that because judging from what you are saying, it does seem like a walk in the park. Your pain levels are low if they are just 2 and 3. I was expecting a 7 or an 8. And other sorts of problems.
What are the difficulties?

You will definitely feel that 7 or 8 when you move your legs.
Difficulties are that im in a wheelchair and cant bend my knees more than 90 degrees so things that i could do easily before like get dress or take a shower now are difficult and needs much more time ,Pain and tension in your legs are the other difficulties.
Update
Im at 1.7cm right now. still doing 0.8mm per day. Tryed one day to do 1mm but it was definitely too much for me. After i did that i was awake almost all night because of the tension in my legs.I fell better at this rate by the moment.
I cant notice yet the difference in lenght of my femurs. I think i should notice after 2.5/3cm of distraction but i dont really know because is difficult when you see them every day and almost every moment.
Im improving in my training sessions . I have been doing bicycle the last four days and today was my first day in the swimingpool. I have been walking in the water and it feels weird but deffinitely its a good experience to walk unnaided when you have been the last 3 weeks in a wheelchair and its a good training to get strength.
The last week my pain increased. Im at a constant 3 maybe 4 some nights. And i feel more tension in my legs making my nights harder and reducing my sleep hours.
Dr Monegal will come to do my xrays today so i will see how all is going.
Cheers KrP1
I feel so happy for you everytime I read your update. I m glad u made the right choice.
Keep in mind that those pain and discomfort are sooooo unreal compared to those of externals you had been considering lately. They will all be gone as soon as ur lenghtening is done too. Keep it up friend.

Yeah. Thank you very much.Definitely this is less painfull and more comfortable than having external fixators in femurs .you have been so brave doing it. Hoppe you recover early and feel happy with your new life because you deserve it beautiful doll.
This is a long and hard journey but is something i know since the begining and i was prepared for it.
I feel happy that im finally changing my height so i dont feel depressed at any time. I feel really good imagining how my life is going to be when i get my target height and recovered

On one hand it is good, but did you also think about the patient being able to say the whole truth about the doctor and the process?
Maybe the patient will keep bad things about the doctor or complications for himself because he knows that the doctor reads in here.
The patient is dependent on the doctor and needs him. Probably the patient is more careful what he is saying about him.
Imagine the patient has a problem and thinks it is the doctors fault. Would he say that in here although he knows that the doctor would be angry with him? Would you want your doctor that has to fix complications and is responsible for your health to be angry with you? Just something to think about...
