Actually, at 7 days post op now, I think 7 days is more than enough for you to go home and rest.
There's not much to do here and mental aspect bores me out!
Its become so difficult to walk without aid, at 3.25 mm
Here I am 4.5 mm taller, I can still walk without crutches.
I wonder when is the pin gonna break!
Not gonna take that chance, so I am gonna (mostly) to use crutches. And every now and then practise walking without crutches.
Walking without crutches now is more difficul because I have a pin-site tenderness and pain, probably infection...
But Russians don't like to prescribe oral or topical antibiotics.
So my advice: PLEASE bring ur own antibiotics.
That's because antibiotics, when over-prescribed, lead to the creation of superbugs. You should only use them if there's clearly an infection, not because maybe there might be.
Hey ItsMyLife!!
didn't get the chance to log back on due to exams but good progress bro!!!!
don't worry you will be walking normally in no time 
and remember pain is temporary, height is eternal

That's what i thought.
But the korean doctors prescribe topical antibiotics and oral antibiotics like nobodys business.
same with the plastic surgeons worldwide
but i think this is different because LL is a very long drawn-out process so we need to keep our weapons?
thank u!!
yes i hope to get walking normally
last night, i had the most extreme pain ever in my life!! I endured half an hour before deciding to get a second jab!!
I dont know why.
But I think its cos i lengthen 1.25 mm and maybe the pin site "infection" or maybe inflammation.
From now, I will lengthen 1mm and step down to 0.75 mm as dr suggested after 1-2 days.
Slow and steady is always better.
Thank god nurse natash injected me twice with painkillers (the second injection was stronger and totally knocked out the pain almost completely)
4 mm now.
It is almost impossible to walk without crutches.
You feel your leg are almost breaking
I think it is because the callus is not as strong as normal bone.
And fixator does not replace normal bone!
Met a russian girl who is also doing lengthening.
They say doctor is very good. But I am actually paying much more than the russian rate :O
But its okay! We are foreigners after all!
the russians come prepared. they bring all the strongest painkillers you can think of.
Sigh, I wish i were more prepared.
She was kind enough to give me some great painkillers!
She gave (so kind) to me:
Excedrin
one pill tegretol to sleep
and also Flurpitine.
