A downloadable copy of the entire site is already out. Unless there will be posted something super valuable in the future that's not been posted already, no one will miss out on much if old forum disappeared.
I think Sringari is a decent man. However, I've come to realize that LL is a miniscule part of his work. Having been to the hospital for surgery 3 times he's usually in the OT all day then squeezes us in between his busy schedule. Then he visits every fortnight or so for an hour. For a man that works 10+ hours a day we are really insignificant too him.
Let's see if they can implement the changes we've asked for.
Any new bro?
I was promised a visit from the good doctor on the eve of christmas but it never came to fruition. Was told he was in the OT, aka his home. Was told the good doctor would arrive at 8am this morning, but that also never transpired.
The nurse came to clean my bad pin and I can see the skin cutting now. It's very deep, but the thing that concerns me is the angle at which it is cutting. Its not straight up and down, not even close. It cuts from the left to the right at a 45 degree angle. Anybody ever see something like this before? I can be certain that it's cutting muscle at this angle too. No wonder it's so inflamed. I'm pretty sure the frame wasn't screwed together correctly. There is no support rod on that side and I can easily bend the first two rings closer together on that side...
I'll post a pic of it when I can.
My pin cuts were horizontal as well. Idk why
It is my intent to be more candid on this forum, as I'm away from the prying eyes and searing beams of the censors at work on old forums. Trust me, if something horrible happens here, I'll be posting it.
The doctor has not been negligent, so please guys, don't jump to conclusions that my life is at risk here. The issues pertain mostly to the function, or lack thereof, of the guesthouse. It's amazing what having internet for one night can do for perspective. Instead of focusing on my pain, I'm merrily browsing to my heart's content. If the internet can stay and the food continues to improve (a few meals have definitely been improved) then it will become a much more pleasant experience. At least, they seem to be reacting to our complaints.
The doctor did end up showing tonight. He has had me on a new antibiotic now for a few days and said the swelling and pain will subside by Saturday, his next planned visit. I can attest to the diminishment of the pain. It's definitely improved but far from okay. I still cant bend the knee or lift the leg due to it, and it's hampering my physio. He said I can get a pin change if it doesn't get better.
On my last x-ray I noticed a slight misalignment of the right tibia from a lateral view. I asked the doctor about this and he confirmed this for me. I asked if it'll correct itself and he said no.... And that he doesn't make corrections at nail locking either. He was adamant that with LON any slight deviation is acceptable as long as the bone conforms to the nail. I'll get a scan of the xray and post it here for you to take a look.
And a note on Indian etiquette and correspondence: if you ever happen to venture to this land of the world's finest, you should come knowing full well, as confirmed by my caretaker, that every time you are told to show up somewhere at a certain time and date you must automatically add one day to the date and 6 hours to the time and then make your arrival. To spice things up and keep people on their toes, you are allowed to modify this date and time up to five times, without telling the person you've done so (that'd ruin the magic), suitable to your taste of mystery and suspense.
The world's greatest superpower certainly harbours the world's most enigmatic populace. I reckon that the suspense and uncertainty involved in all matters here is conducive to improving the intellectual prowess and fecundity of the minds of the world's finest. You never know what to expect.
That post was in reference to the internet tech, who still hasn't showed.
Glad you're feeling better both physically and mentally now.

I'm not sure what to make of this, honestly. It won't correct itself (obviously) and he won't correct it during your 2nd surgery (WTF?), but there was no mention of correcting it by doing an uneven number of turns, which is how they corrected small deviations in Beijing. Is that his plan?
Everyone in Beijing became an amateur radiologist/orthopedic surgeon reading each others' x-rays whenever they got them done. Whatever the opinion of someone with 5 months' experience is worth, I'll give that to you as soon as you post it.
