Fixator removel- 3 days into consolidation
Length gained: 5.5 cm

So, the fixators are finally off and I'm a whole lot comfortable now. Day 2 after fixator removal surgery was an absolute hell. I felt like I was ran over by a freaking car. All the nerves on my legs were on alert mode and I had severe muscle cramps. That day was the most painful day of all. I just couldn't stop screaming and moaning due to unbearable soreness in my legs. Gladly, I'm much better now and pain has subsided greatly. Day 1 after the surgery Doc.uysal made me to try walking with a walker but I couldn't do that because my butt was pointing outwards and my knees were bent, which made walking straight impossible. The next day, however, I was able to start putting more weight on my legs and really stretch the muscles out. Today, I was able to walk with a walker while not being too bent. Doc.uysal told me to put only 50-60 percent of my weight on the legs untill some bone consolidates. Here's my last x-ray:

As I'm thrilled to be over with the lengthening phase, I still have to consolidate my bones and also condition my muscles to obtain a normal walk which I'd assume it'll take 2-3 months to do so. People have said it gets better day by day after Fixator removal, and I do believe in that. Mentally, I have stopped thinking about height other than how to get back to walking again. When I look at myself in the mirror, I feel good in my own skin and the negative thoughts are not there anymore. So, for me it was worth it. No matter how hard it was, I just couldn't live like my old self any more, and for that I'm so proud of myself. the primary reason why I decided to document my journey was to help folks like me who were/are interested in this surgery and genuinely think this surgery can make a difference in their lives. Seeing others going through such a drastic thing and still be able to go back to normal conditions was inspiring for me, and I am trying to do the same for prospective LLers here. To that end, I am planning to update this diary at the end of every month with my latest x-rays and walking videos. Other than that, I'm not going to be her frequently but I'll still try to check my Instagram account now and then, so if have any questions, you can reach me through there.

Alright, this is all I can say for now.

Lengthen wisely my friends,
JOKER
