He's probably crippled for his whole life. He cannot walk, even 5 weeks after the surgery. No fixation of fibula bones which will cause severe arthritis later in life. He has severe ballerina foot which is very hard to fix. He also suffered from pinsite infection. LON is the worst method you can do since you connect the outer world with your bone marrow.

At 1:02 you can hear his desperation.

Ouch, I saw that video. He has a new video out now as well. Not sure why he did LL at 5'11 and like 200 pounds.

Every single day is a blur. And I'm starting to hate the sound of cars and the daily prayer outside in Istanbul. It's annoying af

Can you stand up and pee ? How about going to the bathroom ? Did they put the catherer inside you ?

They put a catheter in me but I requested for it to be taken out because I didn't want to go through pee pee troubles after having it in lol. I haven't tried to go take a dump yet. I can pee perfectly fine. I don't get boners but that's probably because I'm in a hospital surrounded by pain and my legs are broken.

Your legs feel like they're 1000 pounds. It's not an exaggeration. It's hard to describe because you usually can lift your legs up by command, but after LL it's extremely difficult to lift your legs up or do any motion really.

You haven't taken a dump in 3 days ?? Can i ask them not to use the catherer before going into the surgery sounds like torture to me

I haven't, but I also haven't eaten much so.
I'm not sure if you can ask them to do that since when you're under anesthesia, the bottom half of your body literally doesn't work. So you poop, piss, etc without even knowing it. You can take out the catheter a couple of days after, just know that there is sharp pain when taking it out. Lasted like 1 second, and I screamed at the nurse so loud when took it out she got extremely angry lol.

Did you get partial or full anaesthesia ? I've read somewhere that you don't need the catherer if you go for full anaesthesia. A lot of doctors don't use it anyways. I'd rather swim in my pee than have that thing in me. How about the poop, how do they collect it ?

You get local anasthesia and an sedative. You're awake during the surgery but so sedated 3 hours feels like 3 minutes. You can wake up on command though. You won't be able to see anything. When I was under anasthesia, I fell asleep and it felt like I floated to a different world.

Catheter and pooping is the least of your worries, trust me.

"Can i ask them not to use the catherer" you can but you really shouldnt. First 3-4 days is extremly difficult to move arround. Catheter is so convenient and also you pee a lot maybe x2-3 times more than usual. Especially when doing femur you want to have catheter. You dont feel anything anyways
