I don't know if prices can be negotiated. The idea never crossed my mind. I had my surgery 3 days ago. The pain is manageable but limits my mobility, I am on paracetamol IV and it works very well.

First day: Vomited 20 times or more, I think they overdid it with the morphine because I wasn't feeling ANY pain. After all my suffering they put me on naloxone which is a opiod antagonist and then ondasetron. This made it impossible to stand up and do bike on the first day. Did my first 3 clicks easily.

Second day: Little pain without movement, lot of pain with movement but tolerable. Did 6 clicks, 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon and a lot of stretching. I did 45 minutes on bike and also walk, went up and down 3 stairs. I believe I have an increased response to opiod since that day I felt dizzy and tired every time I sited or walked.

Third day: Clicked 3 times in the morning, moderate pain that eases with paracetamol, but no pain if I don't move my legs. Did a little bike, stretching and walking. Also basic stuff like going to the bathroom, eating while sitting in a chair. It's hard but I hope it gets easier later

Your reaction may be due to the anesthetic during surgery. How much have you lengthened thus far? I believe Guichet distracts an amount during surgery.

Yes it was an inhanced reaction to the morphine. I hated it. Today is my post op 6 and I am 1.5 cm taller. This week almost all the patients I met a month before when I arrived for the pre op training are leaving and starting to walk without crutches. The best case I saw, in 55 days post Op he was walking with almost no gait abnormalities. Lucky him. I hope to be like him.

so if I understood you are starting preOP training in Milan?? how much does the preOP training cost?? is it one month training or two months??

my last 2) question was : a patient from this from named Unicorn (you can read her journal) got a bone fractured/broken during LL maybe because Dr Guichet asked her to do too many clicks... because Dr Guichet has a very army-general like personality and he always pushes his patients to go over the pain is there a risk that sometimes he misjudge the conditions and ask a patients to do too much (like too many clicks) which cause injuries?? I would like to know how he would react to that question

Firstly, Guichet is God.  He'll never admit he's done anything wrong.  So it will always be the patient's fault.

Secondly, yes, there are more stories that are not reported for ALL the docs because patients become fearful of their very own doctors for reasons like...  they still need them to repair them, or they think they still need them to remove nails later.  So all patients walk on eggshells.  Welcome to the stockholm syndrome and being held hostage for a king's ransom if you do not want to remain crippled.

So these days, docs do get away with murder or acting like God.  So be very careful which devil with whom you're making a deal.  That's the lesson I've learnt after speaking to many silent patients.

Care to elaborate? Many silent patients of which doctor?

 Also, you shouldn't feel hostage of anyone. Many LL patients went back to their home countries to get "repaired" by docs who specialize in LL and are not doing it for cosmetic reasons. One of them is bigfaker who wrote about getting treatment for a LL gone wrong in india with Saringari with a doc in the states (Not Paley, Mahboubian or Rozbruch)

Well looks like what notimportant was saying is not foolish as it common sense that would occur.

This just further validates my numerous concerns with Guichet and his methods. I think it's time he is no longer mentioned with the likes of Paley, Rozbruch and Baumgart.
