Day 30:
Lengthened: 2,0 cm
(+/- may vary)
Good or bad, a month has passed.
It's like yesterday...
Physiotheraphy:
In this process, I do not work with the physiotherapist.
My physical therapy, dressing, etc. I do everything myself.
This is not my suggestion to you.
Maybe with my diary, it can be an example and support for people with similar conditions.
Cleaning:
I guess everyone knows that bathing is forbidden until LON is removed.
I put soap and water in the plastic bowl and then clean my body with a cloth. (except my upper leg)
Wet wipes can be used for a simple cleaning.
Clothes:
Convenience and advantage for LON:
Side Snap Button Pants
(better 2 sizes bigger than your own size)
It is very advantageous in dressing.
Slip panties are more suitable as underwear.
Use the larger size for comfort.
Scars:
Precice and Lon etc. The scars between them are a different matter.
There are many people who want to have this surgery and worry about their scars.
These thoughts of women are more normal.
When will they see my scars?
My life is not at the beach (I wish 
)
At work, on the street, on the bus, in the car, on vacation, in a cafe, etc. all the places and times you spend time with your dress...
Only the house and bedroom remain, the people you love already know about my situation.
Lie that these scars are from a fight or war
Maybe that can make you more masculine or feminine
If you're a man with hairy legs, it's okay
You can also get a tattoo if you are too obsessed with it.
With laser, scars can be made less obvious.
Which do you think is more important in society:
Being a short person?
Being a scarred person?
The decision is yours...
LON Femur with Dr. Mustafa Uysal (Turkey) Feb-23-2022
Day 34:
Lengthened: 2,4 cm
(real value)
I went to the doctor's checkup, X-rays were taken.
As a result of the x-ray, my left leg is within normal values, but my right leg is 1 cm shorter.
Left: 2.4cm
Right: 1.5cm
Before the surgery, I knew that there were different situations like this, so I didn't worry.
If this happens to you, don't worry.
This may be due to the fixator device.
My doctor disassembled the device, lubricated it and reassembled it.
So what happens in these cases?
You will continue the lengthening process in the same way, after the process is over, lengthening is made for the other leg inequality.
Do not worry about this problem.
Apart from these, I have groin muscle pain in my left leg for the last two days.
My next doctor's appointment is in a month.
that's all for now...

The two upper nails of the fixator are bending.

This has nothing to do with the fixator being lubricated or not. If the bending doesn't stop, the doctor should replace those bent nails. Maybe they will from now on stay that way and not bend any further, who knows. But as for now, the reason for the gap discrepancy is the bending. Don't take this too lightly.

Thanks.
I don't know about this.
when turning the right side 90 degrees, it was difficult to move (10 days)
maybe this forcing might have bent the nails.
it moves very easily now.
We'll see at the next doctor's appointment
Day 49:
Lengthened: 4 cm
(+/- may vary)
the clock alarm is ringing... it's 6:00 in the morning
My sleep is very irregular these days.
Even if I don't have pain but the fixator is very annoying.
Anyway, time to lengthening.
Today is different from other days.
It's kind of a joke.. but I'm halfway through the process. 
Time goes by so quickly.
4 cm left.
Muscle tension etc. I have no pain.
As everyone knows, the real hard process starts after 4-5 cm.
We'll see what awaits me in the remaining days.
I have a doctor's appointment in about 2 weeks.
I'm curious about the real values.
I wish success to everyone who is in this process.
That's all for now...
Good luck, did you have xrays in any time after the lenthening, or will be your first time?

Except the forum subject,
I will go to the doctor in 2 weeks. Then an x-ray will be taken.
Day 52:
Lengthened: 4,0 cm
(real value)
I went to the doctor's checkup.
X-ray was taken, my actual lengthening values according to the X-ray are 4 cm.
I am not currently working with a PT. (not recommended)
I'm going through the process myself. Everything is under control for now.
As everyone knows, muscle stretching etc. in the process. Movements are very important.
If incomplete or excessive force is applied, it may affect the process and even cause the process to be stopped.
If you are considering having this surgery, it will be very advantageous for you to start these movements months beforehand.
These days, there is tension in my hamstring muscle.
I need to work harder without overworking this muscle.
My doctor told me to do the lengthening 3 times a week for muscle tension. (3 x 0.25)
Next week I will do the normal lengthening again.
My knee bending good. I don't have a problem.
In the coming days, I will share my current knee bending picture with you.
That's all for now...

Right:
already +4cm, that's good to hear! by the way in your 4cm xray it seems the top part is bent much more compared to the 1.5cm xray. what did your doctor say?

Yes, there was already a bend on the right side at first.
My doctor said it doesn't matter.
Lengthening continues according to normal values.
I need to solve the muscle tensions before that
I compared the before and after pictures, there doesn't seem to be much bent difference.
