Congrats on getting the surgery. All the best with recovery, i'll keep an eye on your journal. I'd considered both Dr Rozbruch and Dr Paley but Florida and New York are a looong way to travel from Sydney whereas i can get a direct flight straight to Seoul for Dr Lee.
Hey 6FS
How's your lengthening going? Is everything all right?
Hope you could pass through the first week intact!

Yup, everything's going smoothly. Fairly simple routine of eat, stretch, lengthen, sleep and repeat. I'm off the painkillers now, at about 2/10 on the pain scale. P.S. There are some really great shows on tv.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm curious about how you position yourself for taking a bath or shower. It seems like a risky situation when you don't have full use of your legs. Also, what about brushing your teeth and those daily grooming activities? Do you set up stool in front of the vanity so you don't have to stand?

Yea I also wonder how people shower and take baths while lengthening.
Thanks. I'm glad you are having a very very smooth and nice recovery.
I'm getting much more confident about finally scheduling my surgery with Dr Rozbruch in August...

I have a shower chair that i sit on. Getting from that to the walker is very easy. I do all the grooming on that chair in the shower (brushing teeth, etc).
Its basically taking a bath sitting down, its not overly complicated.
Hey 6FS
I hope you are doing well
How's everything? pain whitout the painkillers stabilized? How was your worst moment so far? Pre-surgery anxiety or after surgery immobility and/or pain?
Thank you for logging this; I'm 5'8 myself and handsome enough to model but broke AF. I guess I have a few years to save up and think about the procedure

Things are great. Honestly i can't even say what the worst moment was because it's all been so seamless at this point. Pain is between 1 and 2 out of 10 holding steady. Lengthening going well, will have a check up with Dr Rozbruch next Wednesday. Not much more to report, sometimes i forget i had the surgery and try to stand on my own before i catch myself haha. That's how little i feel it.
