Carter,
Come on now, leave the young one be. He's still recovering from the karate chop trauma to break "ze bone" (read it in Guichet's French accent)
Post your diary to help others make their future LL decisions, get ridiculed on a forum.
Really not promising to those who want to write about their experiences with LL..
Hey guys,
No it's cool. Carter is right. He has a good read on me and I can't argue with facts. But the thing is Carter, I honestly wasn't like this before. That's why i started making vids before the surgery. Before the surgery, I was training 4 hrs at the isokinetic center, and then another 3 hrs afterwards. and even before then, i was waking up day after day at 6am for almost a year to finish college and bring up my GPA so my parents could pay for this surgery.
ur right, as of now i am a pretty unstable. getting better now but when those posts were made, i was precisely as u describe. ur ridicule is thus valid.
but u know what? i don't care. I offer myself -- my WHOLE self -- to the internet so that the world may better understand this very risky and extensive procedure. criticism? hate? those were the prices I was well willing to pay. i decided from the first moment i started writing diaries that i will NEVER monetize my experience or have ANY financial tie with any LL doctors -- EVER...
why?
because i hear so many horror stories about people's lives getting ruined bc of LL. i am not rich and spoiled like u think. of couse i value money, but some things r higher than that. i decided that if i despite the ridicule and criticism, that some ppl could see LL closer to for what is actually is -- that if could HELP them -- that all the damage to my ego would be well worth it.
PS. poker is not a video game, it's a mental sport fyi 
best regard!
PSS. anyone who goes through LL will suffer mentally. they will become more mentally unstable. if anyone tells u otherwise, they r lying. and i am willing to reraise them all in on that bluff.
just bc i document my moments of unstability doesn't mean i am any more mentally unstable than any other LLer. having doubts about Guichet? after paying almost 100k and getting ur legs broken, and u have zero doubts? come on man. for reals?
but it's cool. i just wanted to write the realest most authentic diary i could possibly write. u don't like Apo? u think he sugar coats thing? ur right. i agree. maybe I am a little too extreme with sharing every aspect of my journey? but i think it'll be alright. ppl take from it what they need. that's what's most important at the end of the day after all. we r LLers. we need to stick together. this is a very niche and special community, and i pay my tribute both in prayer and also in deeds. i truly have the utmost respect for everyone who goes though LL and the highest compassion for anyone thinking of undertaking this very difficult journey

I'm not the only one who has harsh words for him here. On the old forum, they don't dig this guy's lazy attitude either.
Jenlarsen. - I get the impression you're slacking off on your training. Why are you risking your health and future mobility? I think you'll regret it..
Rgkey - don't bull your self!!! Sitting around and pretending to do exercises on your bed while lengthening will fuc* YOU UP! LEECHLET f**king WAKE UP BRO!!!
Sweden - You look like such a sweet little girl . 
I would hate you too if I was your doctor. Paying so much money to go with the best and just to ruin yourself anyway. (WAT??) You deserve a good old fashion beating and I'll be happy to do it for you if you ask me Smiley
IwillbeTall - I haven't been through LL yet, so I can't possibly imagine how hard it is for you now, but from what you say in your videos and what you write in your diary it seems like you don't wanna put any effort to have a successful LL. C'mon Leechlet, stop slacking off
Hey Carter,
I know what they said. And they are definitely right to some degree. As I responded on the old forum, I am doing something a little unconventional here. I spoke with Guichet extensively about it and he's cool with it. We hang out a lot now bc he's actually a pretty cool guy once you get to know him. And also, I have no other friends in Italy.
But anyways, I totally acknowledge and respect their opinions as well as yours. That's what my diary is about after all, freedom of expression of your interpretation of reality. I think the biggest difference btwn me and Apo is that I don't control what I say and I welcome any and all interpretations and reactions to what I blog about. You guys could be totally right. In 6 month, I might might I had exercised more to have a faster recovery.
In fact, I almost welcome negative reactions more than positive ones. I like it when people challenge my reality. If everyone told me what i wanted to hear, how do i know when I am wrong? you do have a lot of valid points, and my appreciation to your post is completely sincere. Guichet thinks i am unstable and immature too, and that's the biggest risk factor he thinks about me, even more so than my weak bone structure. You are right. I even openly admited that I was rlly childish and wasn't in the right mindset to do this surgery. Guichet admits that i grew up a lot in the past month, but still i have a long way to go.
Yet, i am not ashamed. I dont' bent truth simply to get more favorable comments. I immortalize my flaws and immaturity with my vids pre op. Remember how i said i wanted 10cm simply bc it didn't looked that bad on a ruler? i am paying for my immaturity. in hindsight, i wish i stayed in US to do Precice2 bc 8cm is already hard enough.
If you were in my spot, you will probably play my cards better than I did. That's great, because Carter you are probably a stronger person than I am. If you haven't done LL already, then I think when it's ur time to do it, u will find a far easier time than I did if you were in my spot. But let's not trample on the weak. I think you have valid points, and you are of course entitled to whatever you want to say.
The fact that u take so much time to read my diaries probably means u r thinking of surgery urself. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions when all this is said and done. we r still "cool" bro
I never meant to seem harsh, negative or offensive to leech let)) my intension was completely the opposite! I actually like the guy a lot!! and I feel for him so I only wanted to try to encourage him to push him self a little more!
So I digLeech let! all people in LL community should be like brothers, and some times brothers can be harsh to one another but only because they care about each other, not because we are annoyed or any negative like that.
I care for anyone who wants to do LL or is doing it right now.
Rgkey
Leechlet, if you see page 6 and 7 of the diary, I posted to encourage you. Many people have done the same, wishing you well and motivating you with speeches, criticism and sarcasm in my case.. We all want to see your video blog end on a successful note.
You are letting alot of people down if you slack off and drop off on your recovery. If my comments can fire you up to listen to your doctor's instructions and do more physio, then good.
Amen to that brothers!
That's what I believe after all. We stand together. I completely appreciate the comments and I did start exercising more after that.s
It's all cool. We r men. Brothers fight but then they always make up. That's the essense of bro-ness
