Leechlet Internal Femur 2014 Dr Guichet

Edit Post

Hey!

Srry for the late reply. I just kinda forgotten about this forum for a while. In theory, u can get 5cm the first month and maybe 8 the second, but that's under ideal conditions, so ideal that I am not entirely sure if most ppl can hope for it. The thing is, when ur muscles tighten up, it's rlly up to ur body how much u can lengthen or how fast. Dr Guichet said that at the end, if I want to do 10cm, he will monitor the rate my muscle cells divide, probably at a rate of .5mm a day and lengthen at that rate. Basically, u probably can't do 7.5 cm unless u work for the chinese circus or something 

I didn't decide on the 13mm nail. Dr Guichet did. He just kinda decided over dinner and I was like, wait a minute... why? I forgot what he said, but it's suppose to be more weight bearing and allow for faster return to normal activities.

I am actually a loner and I can literally be on my own for a month at a time in college, just skipping class and grinding online poker. I think the mood swing is simply bc i am in pain and the medications probably have something to do with it too. It's completely scary and stressful.

My daily exercise is just full of stretches and biking, not unlike pre op preperation but this time MUCH more toned down. I will make a vid about my daily routine soon. 

As for taxi, i found a way to save money is to call the taxi and then IMMEDIATELY go wait outside. I was getting charged for waiting around, so when i got into the taxi i was already charged 10 euros. By not having the taxi wait for u, u can save 5-7 euros each trip, which adds up a lot. This is a useful hack I discovered

Hey guys!

Here is the footage of the surgery that Dr Guichet filmed. I helped him edit it, but I think it's interesting bc from his lenses, this surgery is just yet another one that went well without complications. It's very interesting how his camera tells a completely different side of the story. It's a story of excellent range of motion and good recovery. On my side, of course the story looks completely different. But here is his side:




Also, I am going to stop making vids for a while to concentrate on my training more. Here is the current mentality I am in:



When you guys watch my vids, keep in mind that I am merely trying to capture each moment of my journey as I travel through time and space. The reality of LL is somewhere in btwn all these vids, a mixture of many different things. Sure, it's a science, but it's also a story of ups and downs emotionally, of pain but also of triumph.

I have 150 more vids on my channel for LLing. For this reason, I cannot possibly post each and every one of them. But u can check out my daily vlogs on there.

Wow, Dr Guichet is torturing you to make these leg moves directly after surgery just for the video.
I know how it feels after surgery, you just want to rest...

Hi Leechlet,

thank you for those great videos. You shouldn't be too harsh on yourself. All you need is to get a daily routine and stick to it. The days will then pass by very quickly.

Best wishes

hi emanuel,

dr guichet definitely pushed pretty hard since day one. if you watch my vids, i was actually pretty pissed about it at first, and thought about quitting LLing altogether. but now, i feel much better and is recovering much faster than his other patients. i don't think Dr Guichet is a bad person bc we talked countless hrs about his personal life and etc. he's actually a pretty cool guy and always comes to visit me. i think he is very focused on results of science to a point of neglecting the feeling of his patients. he just goes off what the data says will make me heal faster, and sometimes it is not the easiest path. in fact, if i had it my way i would be in the hospital for one week getting served by nurses until i slowly felt like going home. but in hindsight, that would be rlly bad bc i'd lose a lot of time to lengthen and also lose lots of muscle mass

hi mime,

thanks for the comment! i am definitely starting the long grind now, waking up and being almost 100% commited to the recovery routine. but LLing is very tough emotionally. for example, i was feeling rlly happy and confident this morning, but then in the afternoon i got tired and depressed. i was actually depressed bc i was growing taller and i realize i'll never be the same "me" anymore. i know. crazy stuffs right? but that's LLing for u. the world inside my mind is completely insane almost like a teenager again. watching my legs get longer and skinnier have a certain "alien" feel to it. hard to describe

Hey guys

I emailed Dr Guichet today and said I want to quit limb lengthening. My right leg where the femur meets the pelvic is sooo painful that I could only do 5 clicks rather than the 7 that i was supposed to do. I am scared that the nail site is fractured and I was tired and stressed and I just started crying and told my helper that I want to go back to America.

But then something slowly dawned on my as I was cycling to relieve my emotions. I realized that:
1. I hated my height TOO much for it to be any other way and...
2. Even in my hours of pain, i still love what I do.

Love is a weird word to describe it bc we typically think of it as a positive emotion. But i realized that even if I was to quit LLing right now, I will still come back. Sometimes... Somehow... I'll be back. I realized that LLing is not for everyone, but for me it is inevitable. I HAVE to be here, bc as strange as it sounds, of all the places on earth right now, I am supposed to be here bc in any other place on earth, I would feel empty and always wonder "what is it like to get LLing and be a bit taller?" and i will never rest until i find out that answer

I am human. LLing is hard. Given those two conditions, I have a very turbulent relationship with LLing. I thought about quitting so many times and cried so many times that if I was to make a vid every time I cried I would have like a gazillion vids on my channel by now. But love is the force that makes me keep coming back, even after I thought I had given it all I still want to give more.

I also learned of faith today. Faith is believing the dots will connect in the future when all reason eludes u. Bc sometimes in order to be successful, you must push through SOOO much pain that any reasonable person would've given up. In that sense, this world is rlly led by unreasonable men -- men who have gone through things where any rational person would've quit.

In order to do the impossible, I realize that I need love and faith. Love in what I do and faith that it will work out. These are not things that can be faked. These are things that I either have or do not. And each time some adversity hit me and I quit, but then I come back an hr later when I calm down, these emotions are strengthened. I will upload vids I made in these moments of emotion. But for now, i just want to share with you guys what a spiritual and emotinal journey this advanture had been thus far

leechlet the f**k is wrong with you. Stop crying  you acting like a little girl. Stop try to be so analytical about your feelings and just do it. IF you don't want to continue can i take your place?. Ask guichet if i can.








Watch this whole video. I fkin garantee you. That you will be hungry for life after that video.

How often are you able to meet with Dr Guichet for him to examine you just to make sure everything is okay and that there are no complications he needs to fix? Stay strong man. You've come this far. If you turn back now, it may be one of those things you ask yourself every time you feel your height has hindered you "What if I had stuck with it?"

We're rooting for you.

Slim_Tim,  I rarely chime in on the forum but your comments to Leechet were outrageous to me. Leechet is sharing the most personal, intimate emotions that people are rarely willing to share and you kicked him in the face. I doubt you have any idea how painful, stressful and frightening it is to lose ones ability to walk, function, daily pain and concerns about getting back to normal. I apologize to Leechet for your insensitive comments.

Leechet,

I love your diary, it's raw and real. Most people do not have the depth or self insights to share to this level or the willingness to reveal these inner fear, feelings to others. Thank you, it's appreciated by me at least. Take care of yourself, hand it there, do the work, time will pass and it will be worthwhile. Best of luck.

Bravo, indeed, I totally agree with you.

Slim_tim, learn and respect the fact that people can have wildly diverse personalities and ways of expressing themselves that may be completely different from your own. (Also for the record, David Icke is a total nutjob.)
