Leechlet Internal Femur 2014 Dr Guichet

Edit Post

Quote from: Cooper on February 17, 2014, 09:03:59 PMSince we are talking about lengthening amount. I have below plan for myself.

A) 8cm femur, 5 cm tibia
b) 7cm femur, 6cm tibia
c) 6.5cm femur, 6.5cm tibia
d) Anything available

Dr. Rozbruch thinks plan C is the best. I am worried if somehow I could not able to tibia for 6.5cm. I am doing my femur first and see how that goes.

Sorry Leechlet for hijacking your diary.

Most doctors agree that 5 cm on the tibiae is the safest amount.  It always depends on how well your body responds though, so it's tough to plan exactly how much we're going to lengthen before we actually do it.

hey, no problem

1mm/ day is just the average

i am already slowing down to less than 1mm a day. soon, i will be doing 1/2 mm a day, just ahead of consolidation. this is bc guichet want to make sure there's minimal chance for nerve problems and allow maximum time for muscle adaptation. also, although lengthening will be long, near the end the bone will be almost consolidated, so the wait for full consolidation will be shorter

Hey guys!

Just took new xray today. Should be at 4cm, but measured at 4.3. well, what the heck.

anyways, now that my mood stablized, i want to officially summarize what i would've done differently:

1. BRING A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND!!!!!!! 70% of my suffering comes from loneliness and the feeling that my parents have abandoned me. i cried a lot wishing that my family wasn't so financially blessed and that my dad would spend more time with me rather than build his business.

2. get ur psychological affairs together before surgery. i had a ton of other mental problems, and i had to mature RLLY fast and it was tough. some ppl who r older and more mature breeze through LL, always going to training with a smile on their face. needless to say, i am not one of these ppl

3. don't just think about getting LL, meditate on GOING THROUGH LL. i was sooo focused on getting the surgery that i completely wasn't prepared for the long battle afterwards. the surgery is easy. i didn't take much pain killers bc i have a liver condition. i had my bones reamered extensively to get the 13mm nail. even then, it only hurt for a week. but the long fight is many MANY month

4. do sports and be a disciplined person physically before LL. the single hardest thing for me is waking up to do the training. i didn't start taking training seriously until i had nerve problems. then i started to get with the program and the problem solved itself. listen to Guichet. he's not always cool and emotionally supportive. but the guy gets results. have faith in him and try the training even if u do it on ur own, u gotta stay active. if u have the discipline to wake up at 6am to run for a hr a day or lift a few times a week, u will go through LL no problem. i couldnt remember the last time i commited to a workout routine

5. DON"T STAY IN BED ALL DAY!!!! even if u r tired, go out and talk to ppl. experience life. actually, THIS is probably the biggest mistake i made. yup

6. dont camp on the forum for validation. sometimes u get it. sometimes u won't. instead, socialize more with curent LLers and try to be chill about the comments non LLers make. they just don't understand the hardship yet. but they will  Wink

7. try not to think about why ur doing LL too much. sometimes it leads to sadness. sometimes, it leads to anger. but always, it leads to an infinite regress of thought attacks. instead, just be chill about the fact ur doing LL and ur gonna have a unique experience that will make u 10x stronger than before ur journey. consider this your "hero's journey"

Yeah, being alone breeds loneliness.

No, i tried to but i wasn't inspired. However, I am trying to master 6max NLH. Before, I was a decent player at ring games, but I was only rlly a monster HU. HU i completely crushed for the stakes I played. i bought a few books and subscribed to some coaching sites to get my 6max game up to far. I will never be a superb full ring player bc it's boring. I think it's standard just to multitable abc poker in a full ring. But 6max allows me to find delicate bluff spots and isolate to play most hands HU or 3 way.

So far, i have been MUCH happier, waking up every day looking forward to the day. In collge, i skipped class a lot of master HU. now i am skipping isokinetic a lot ot master 6max. feels like a teenager all over again

ps. one thing i think is much more important than height in this journey is that it taught me mroe about who i am. I learned that the most important thing for me to be happy is to have an intellectual stimulation, something where i can hack, analyze, and achieve mastery in the mind. i didn't hate college as much as i thought. i just hated waking up to go to class. but i loved learning.

although its cool to be taller, there's no way i am gonna get there if i am bored and depressed. if u guys know any other mentally stimulating activity that u can master, let me know. i am gonna buy some scale models and rlly start learning how to wet blend and do some advanced stuffs on that too. that's something i've always wanted to do and i also find that rlly challenging and fun

Edit Post

Yeah, I agree. There's more technical stuffs with 6max and short handed plays.

Just go easy with grinding cuz your body needs sleep.

For a starter, I can show an inspiring video, and this pretty much is about life, and fulfillment, and caring for the wrong things, living the present moment; and not about LL.

Make sure you've got good audio.

Ya, definitely man. You are totally right. I am keeping in mind that I am only doing this to pass time during LL, and that my main battle it to grow taller. I just need a mental "drug" so to speak. In the first week, Guichet visited every day and we talked hrs about his research and stuff so it was stimulating. But idk, that stuff gets boring after a while so I just need a daily intellectual "high" to feel pumped to get up and do training.

and thanks for the vid! will definitely download to iphone. got a ton of motivational vids on there now to take with me for training

Hi ppl,

Today, I have decided taht I am going to do the training on my own. I hate waking up for the isokinetic center and I think 90 euros a day so some dude can tell me to go bike on a machine and then go stretch on a bed would make even the mafia cringe.

Furthermore, I have decided that I am not longer set on 10cm. I don't give a fuc* what the internet thinks. But I skyped with a lot of ex patients, and pushing past the point ur body tells u to stop is what leads to complications. So far, i am at 4.5 and i have no problem. I am happy with 7, but will take 6cm. 8 is cool. 9 is awesome. 10 is great of course. but i have no goals. I just take my LL one click at a time. i think this is the way LL should be. wisdom
