I had a little chuckle reading this point Leechlet Internal Femur 2014 Dr Guichet How did you know it was his parent's money. I thought I read somewhere that he made $98,000 all by himself.

Leechlet... don't give up. You're fearful, that means you have a lot to live for and waiting for you. Make sure you achieve that 7-8cm you're looking for. Happiness and a potential date is waiting for you on the other side.

I'm following your diary carefully. As you can see, I'm putting Guichet as one of my LL femur option for later 2014.

He's said many times that his parents paid for or at least helped him a lot financially to get this operation. Nothing wrong with that.

Hehe, nice catch with the fruit. They don't look like normal oranges, by the way. They're probably clementines.

Thanks guys for all the support.

On a more practical note, I was wondering if any of you know how I can get cheap taxi or ride in Milan. I was looking forward to a guy who could drive me to and back the isokinetic center for 100 euros a month. But now, I am spending almost that much a day.

What is a cheap taxi company? How can I make a deal?

Thanks. This surgery may only end up costing around 70-75k if all my cost saving plans goes well. I rlly appreciate it. =D

No I want to leave as soon as possible. As soon as safe. And I mean really safe . So like two months or until I get to 7 cm

Hey guys

exactly one week had past post op

i am at 1.67cm total gain stabilizing at 21 clicks a day plus the 1cm at the operation (150 clicks)

now, i am basically pain free. but rlly tired all the time. i have no trouble sleeping. in fact, i have trouble staying awake and doing exercises.

the biggest challenge for me is to get through the mountain of exercises dr guichet ordered. also, i am not eating much as i don't have much appetite. finally, walking on a walker is a bitc*. i literally call dr guichet every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, asking angrily if i can get a wheelchair. but i try to use logic bc i know he's a rational guy. each time, he insist NO. then, i just cry and complain to my helper wilbert

overall, despite a what i thought to be a hellish week, i am actually a lot better than a lot of other patients according to current LLers with guichet. i am basically fine now with minimal pain and problems. i am actually a bit surprised that it's only one week post op bc last week, i didn't think i would feel like this today.

my mood is all over the place. that is perhaps the biggest problem of all. i feel happy and sad and angry and depressed and moved... all within a very short period of time. sometimes, there's a trigger. but most of the time, there's no trigger at all.

i have never had a period since i am a guy,  but for u females out there, please let me know if it is similar to that phenomenon.

training is hard. i hate it. i want to skip training every single day, and even when i am there, i think of reasons why i am not able to perform or why i have to leave early. i feel like a teenager again. except i have literally zero mating urges. for the first time in a long time, i merely see women as bipedal apes with a distinct fat distribution, softer skin, and face caked with pigments like mandrill monkeys.

 i just want to be left alone to sleep, and to have someone bring me food and water and listen to why my life sucks. wilbert does all that so he is the best helper i could hope for.

but at the same time, i have an urge to help others and to save the world, again not unlike my teenage self.

i find is very hard to concentrate, and i want to change activities a lot. sometimes, i would get bored in the middle of clicking to watch some youtube videos, take a nap, and finish an hr later. i have zero discipline and i hate ppl tell me what to do. i want to rebel against the isokinetic center and to set free all the crippled ppl in there like freeing animals in a zoo. of course, that's ridiculous. but those r whats going on in my find.

 Smiley Grin Angry Huh? Lips Sealed Kiss Cry Lips Sealed mood swings everywhere....

Your mood swing is because of the drugs and isolation. Are you a outgoing person who can't be alone for too long?  Then you have to find people to talk to, even on the phone or skype.  How is your exercise routine like everyday?

1cm at operation! That's amazing. Do you know how long it would take to achieve the next 6-7cm? If you can get 7.5cm in one month and be back home in crutches/cane/unsupported working again, it would be a viable option for someone like me.

I also like the fact that Dr. Guichet seems very patient in answering your questions and picking up your phone calls daily. Stay positive!
