Quote from: mediocre on February 18, 2014, 09:02:00 AMFor 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.



thanks for sharing the video, it just makes us think about all this, and wonder if we are truly living the present and enjoy our life because this moment we are living right now is NOT coming back. 

and Leechlet, the best for you buddy
hope you achieve everything you want. It's really nice to read all your posts and realize that your thoughts have really changed. Thumbs up

Quote from: leechlet on February 19, 2014, 10:20:50 PMHi 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

Hey Leechlet, are you currently having any problems like duck ass as to speak? You have done 4.5 and i would like to say i'm really proud of your achievements You are doing fine man, just keep it up till 6 and i'm sure you'll feel very happy even if you don't decide to go further Keep it up man.

hi, yes, i have duck ass and problems closing my legs. but my joints have full range of motion. i will make some vids soon showing my current condition. probably at around 5cm? idk, like this weekend probably as well as show my new xrays

Edit Post

Okay people!

So I am at 5 week post op at about 4.6cm doing 12 clicks a day. Here is my new xray I taken last week:



When this was taken, I was at around 4.3 ish. I had been lazy and didn't make videos until I found my muse, which is buying Thief 4. 

Things are much more chill now and I am actually enjoying this journey. It's super chill as heck.

I've never seen such a good x-ray photo before in terms is medics.
Perfect alignment, great callus, straight bone, ... .
(Compared to patients who did LL for a cheap price)

Hey Leechlet,

I know Guichet puts alot of emphasize in the strenght of the G-nail.

I know in the last videoe you mentioned you will be in crutches after lengthening, are you not able to walk on G-nail without crutches?

Hey guys, this is what guichet emailed me a few days ago

For your adventure, two things:

   First, it is normal your bad mood is normal, and also you are reacting more than some patients. However, when you will stop, your mood will raise again, and some patients who stopped a bit early regretted to have stopped too early. So, please go on at least to 60 or 70 mm. Average of my patients is 67 mm. Only 3 stopped earlier due to psychological intolerance. It is only a bit more, and after it will be over anyway. The mood improves as you could discuss with Ana or others. It improves generally in the second part of the second month. She wanted to stop and asked me to stop at 60 mm, then I pushed her to go further (she stopped at 85 mm) and now she is not regretting it at all, and she will recover fully with more happiness in life with a gain of 8.5 cm! For you, it is the same, if you can go on, you will feel far better at the end.

   Secondly, you engaged in this process, and you will be fully satisfied if you can control your aim and go further. Fulfilling aims will be a tremendous help in your overall life. Do not stop at the middle of the desert, it is not the time for it. You came for changing your life. Now allow this procedure to change your life. As I told you and as you discovered, changing the life is not the cm, it is the spirit of it. You are close to the top of the hill. Go on the top a because from the top, you will think differently. The top is not 10 cm. But 65 to 75 mm, and achieve at least this. You will be a complete winner in life and do not leave your life pointing out some partial aspects of a looser. Even if it is tough. Win it.

Running the lengthening in a room alone is not good at all. It is better where there are other people. And you will feel far better also if you go out a bit, in some restaurants, etc. I understand that it is not easy and that your mood is not willing of that, but just do it. You will have very difficulties times in your life (work problems , divorce, etc, hopefully not), and succeeding what you are doing will be a tremendous help in your life and will guide you in the future.

And do not hesitate to contact me or call me in order to boost you!

Have a nice week. I'll will see you on Saturday.

This is what I emailed him today after a few days on my own to get my act together

Hi Dr Guichet,

Attached is my updated excel sheet. I am doing better now. I started:
1. mindfulness meditation
2. looking at the sun for 20 minutes a day
3. walking around more. i get my own food and actually go to the bathroom to pee, etc
4. waking up and going to sleep saying appreciation. i am really lucky to be doing LL in the best of conditions with the best of surgeon and no major problems and even at 5cm, I still have full motion of the joints still

I made some videos of my flexibility and walking, because I think it's important for the world to realize two things:
1. most of my problems are now in my mind, and physically I really don't have any pain or any issues
2. BRING A FAMILY MEMBER!!! That's what i tell your new patients. I tell them that I made a huge mistake coming to LL on my own, especially at my age with my level of maturity before coming to Milan. 

I'll do a new xray next week and I plan on going back to the US end of March. By then I will be 7-7.5 cm depending if we slow down clicking or not. I think I will just lengthen as much as I can and just stop when I feel pain or if my muscle gets too tight. So far, my muscles appears soft and normal, no discomfort or anything. But I am really not going to push it if it starts getting hard. I decided that I can just come back and do my tibia or my femur again in a few years because by then I can definitely afford to do it on my own.

Thanks for your support. People on the forum are starting to talk about how you are very supportive unmatched by other doctors. I think that's the right consensus because LL is so psychological that support is a necessary part of the package, and any doctor who doesn't offer that is not giving the full LL experience.

Hey all!

Thanks for the support!

I think it wasn't clear before, it is very clear to me now that doing LL on my own and staying inside the same room all day every day and not seeing the sun for 2 weeks and only using tramadol to feel happy and get high is the worst way to LL.

I made some new vids to be uploaded. Physically, I am shocked at how normal I appear. Because in my mind, I am pretty grumpy. But I decided to be more mindful and meditate and also just to be more appreciative of life and I say a thanks for every little thing. I know it sounds stupid, but it actually works. Also, I started to be in the sun and just breathing fresh air. It's amazing how much these things combined helps.

Sure, I have a helper 24/7. but his english sucks and we can't rlly have a real conversation. besides, he is super Christian, so every time we get into a deep conversation it turns into an argument of bible vs science, and u know how that can go...

please learn from my blunder and bring a family member with you!!!! it helps!!!!

lastly, i will leave by saying an appreciation:
"I am appreciative that I am doing LL with one of the best and most supportive surgeons in the world. I am at 5cm with no complications, fully funded with a 24.7 helper. I am so lucky to pursue my dream. And although LL was much harder than I thought, I am lucky to put my heart to rest on a matter that bothered me for a long time.

Finally, although the review for Thief 4 is  ty, I am happy that I lived long enough to see this wonderful franchise die. Alas, all good things must come to an end. Death is inevitable, and I am sure there are countless other good games waiting for me. Finally Theif 4 is released in Europe, and I will make the best of this game and have as much fun as possible. I thank God for giving me this wonderful opportunity to play Thief one last time"
