80k including living expenses and pre training costs is not bad. I read through your experiences. Envy u that u didn't have to go through very hard times, well compared to me
me.
I m now 4+, reaching 5cms soon, worrying everyday of not reaching 7cms. I m going at 1mm a day so about next 30 days I would reach my goal and thinking of going a lil bit further if I could. IF I COULD. But now I m having a hard time keeping my Roms. =( Left knee can bend only 35 to 45 degrees and right around 60'. Pain every now and then from tissues and skin being cut through by pins or when I try to push my knee bending further. =(.
U are very lucky to be recovering quite well now. Juz keep it up and don't be lazy to try harder. =). Wishing u fastest recovery.
Don't worry bluebarbie. LL is hard for all of us, no matter which method or doctor we choose. We all understand what you're going through is very hard. I have every confidence that you will reach your goal of 7cm! 
And thanks, yes ,I know I have to step it up with the walking, I have been trying more and more every day!
Quote from: KirP1 on March 10, 2015, 12:56:37 PMhey bluebarbie , why did you do femurs and not tibias?
Sorry, juz found ur post. My tibias aldy seems slightly longer than my femurs. I would look very unpropotionate if I lenghten them. Plus, girls with long slender thighs, I find them beautiful.
Reaching 5cms. Duckass is getting worse. But when I try to fix it with standing, lying on my tummy or back kicking exercises, I feel sooooo much pain around my pin sites especially the ones near the knee. Pain is like fleshs are being torn underneath them.
Sleep is also getting more and more difficult. I have to put two pillows under my back when I sleep coz I cannot lay on my back flat. Only about 20 more days before lenghtening phase is over. I juz want these days to end.. 
. I'll update more on 26th which I have to take xrays. Knee Rom still 40' - 45'on left side and 50' to 60' on the right. Dull aches in the whole right femur when I bend that knee. 
You're very brave for sticking it to 7cm. 7cm is a significant gain and will change your perspective dramatically.
Can you bend your knees and are you closer to reaching your goal?
I advised another member previously. If it's too painful, it's okay to stop and take a break for a few days. And once the pain subside you can re-lengthen again. Also, increase mobility if you can like doing some brief exercises. Staying stagnant in one place will keep the pain. And you have just 20 or so more days, so you can be generous with those pain-killer and detox yourself every day now and after.
You can detox by taking in leafy greens vegetables and smoothie.... I know it's difficult. Good-luck and cheers.
What is your doc allowing you to take for pain relief? Do you take any sleeping pills to help for bed?
Hi, Smallguy and KiloKAHN
My knee bending is still the same as last cms, (around 45' -50')
Yes, I agree with u on painkillers. Yesterday I met my doctor, took xrays and I was put on more medication Muscol, tramadol, Nucoxia and Danzen for pain, muscle relaxation and inflammation. He put me on diazepam to help with my sleep. But I don't take it. Because the problem is I am always tired and sleepy and as soon as my head touches the pillow I juz fell asleep, yet pain kept waking me up. I m in pain, stressed and worried that I wouldn't reach my goal and I have a sense it's gonna get worse as it nears the end. I have also updated on my blog showing my xrays also. Thanks friss. I do appreciate ur advice.
be strong , you can do it , the end of the lengthening is near.
Yeah, the enemy is pain. But like I said, while pain is temporary, height is real. Whatever you do now will have an effect on the rest of your life. Think about all the moments where you have been discriminated against in your life for your short stature. Maybe you were teased. Life would be so awesome if you are 7cm taller. Your dating pool widen, your job prospective gets bigger... and while you take your clients out on tour-guide (I read you have a tour guide business) you won't look so small to all the foreign customers.
The moment is now. If you can, split out your lengthening, doing a few quarter of a millimetres every few hours. Do some exercises and watch some movies to keep your mind off. If you can, maybe chat with a friend to kill time. Or if you want encouragement from me, you can always post on here. Goodluck! 
Hi KirPi and Smallguy,
Your motivations definitely made my day .
Smallguy, I read through ur posts and found that u have went through alot, too. It's great that those times are over now. I m really happy for u and wished to be in ur place. I 'll get there on day too,right!
Yeah, you will also get there one day. Just know that these moments are your hardest and the grass is definitely greener on the other side.
Thanks. I've had quite a few exposures in life in the field of romance, hardship, betrayal, and ambition. Many events are undisclosed but I plan on writing a book about it and sell it to a movie studio one day. (just kidding)
Keep us update on your progress. Cheers.
