Leaving for Surgery / South Africa on Monday-- any last purchases I should make?

Edit Post

Hey all!

The time is here, I'll be leaving on Monday for South Africa for Dr. Birkholtz.

I'll be there for 4-6 months. He is extremely conservative about lengthening speed (.66-.75mm per day) and makes you stay until you are at least totally solid on crutches.

Are there any things you recommend I bring before I head? He's got practically all the basics covered, just looking for specifics.

Thank you!

(Goal: 7-8cm femurs. Fitbone. Starting at 170cm.)

precise nail shortage happening right now. Dr Birkholtz was able to grab a medium sized precise for me but not a large one (even though I would have fit the larger one), so I'm opting for fitbone instead because fitbone has far more weight capacity. Still not full weightbearing, but I'll have less anxiety about transitions.
