Hey leechlet,

I've been following your posts from the very beginning, just wanted to send support your way.  Sometimes I think we all get a little too deep into LL and forget that it's never been an easy choice from the beginning.  There are so many things to consider- the doctor, the method, the timeframe, cost, and of course the choice of undergoing the surgery in the first place.  So while we all may have our myriad disagreements over different facets of LL I am thankful that you provide us with an honest account of what you are experiencing through the process- emotionally and physically.

hey, thanks for the support guys!

i am almost 6 now and i want to go to max of nail lengthen, but it 10 or 10.5, as long as these following conditions remain true:
1. no fracture
2. full range of joint motion
3. no pain or nerve problem
4. i can sleep through the whole night without having to move my legs

I remember when i was doing 21 clicks a day, i had to move my legs at night bc it was growing faster than rate of my cell division. i am doing 12 not, and eventually 9 and then 6 clicks a day. as long as it's ez and it doesn't do any obvious damage to my body, i am ALL IN

okay guys,

so i logged 15 hrs on Thief 4 in the last week, about 2 hrs a day. playing it takes a lot of energy and it doesn't really make me any happier. so i have decided to stop playing it. can't believe i am not going to play through my favorite franchise, but it just brings no utility. it's like grinding through wood. so i have decided to use that extra 2 hrs to sleep more and do more exercises.

idk if i am just getting old or if the surgery just changed me, but vid games r not what it used to be. it doesn't do the same thing for me anymore.   Leechlet Internal Femur 2014 Dr Guichet

hey guys, just uploaded a bunch of old vids, almost all interviews of guichet. popular topics like HGH in LL, the infamous karate chop, what he thinks of my current condition, IT band release, etc. i officially claim no support of what he says as i cannot verify some of this claims. these r only what he claims captured on camera, so be sure to reraise him if lines don't add up.

Nice milestone there Leechlet. So happy for you. When one follows a diary like this from the start, it kind a feels like being a part of your success too.

Do you feel the increase in height already?

Great! These videos are very good! Dr. Guichet seems like a very knowledgable man. Thanks for taking the time and energy to post them.

hi, ya i definitely feel it in the sense that i notice myself taller than ppl around my height before. but i don't "feel" it in the sense that i just dont care about height anymore. now, that's kinda paradoxical bc i am 50% chance to do tibia in a few years, but it's not so much gainning height as much as finishing something i've started. i could honestly not do a single more click and i would be totally happy. but i am going to max out this nail as long as no problems occur. i met some guichet patients who went to 8.5 or 9cm and return to full sports no problem, even 8 years later (coming to get nail removal).

i think the trick is to NEVER force it. ur body wants to stop? damnit, then stop. i know a guy who did 6cm but had massive nerve problems and had to go back to the center to rehab more. so it rlly depends on the person and ur body. how does my muscles and nerves react? so far, not terribly. but anything can change when the cards r in the air. one i hit plastic phase, even .5cm makes a world of difference. guichet thinks i might sidestep the plastic phase if i can slow down my clicks more since my healing is not so great. good side is that i have more time to lengthen. bad time is that i have WAAAYYYY more time for consolidation  Leechlet Internal Femur 2014 Dr Guichet
