doctor visited me, showed me exercises, did them for few hours pain increased, so asked nurse for painkiller.
i know that using painkiller is not ideal, hopefully i wont have to do this again, the pain was the same s before but it is such a long time with pain i had to stop it for a few hours.
discrete user told be he used one painkiller in hospital, so i don't feel so bad about it.
Good to hear. I'm not sure why taking painkillers is not ideal in this situation, but I will be taking them if need be, at least until the initial swelling goes down.
Also, how's the internet connection at the hospital? Just asking because I'll be working the entire time lol
its good, and yeah i don't know if painkillers are bad, they may not be, ill ask mitkovic next time i see him, i do think they lose its effect if you keep on using them, so far i have only used one, tomorow the pain should be less anyway, as each day it gets less.
That's a relief. And yeah, see what he says. Have you tried to stand upright yet?
not yet, mitkovic siad i would soon though, but discrete ser says not to try and walk until 3 weeks post op.
okay last night i sadly requested another painkiller, pain was maybe level 4, but the issue is that it is constant and can't sleep, even with sleeping pill.
got to sleep from 2 am to 5 am, despite that i feel very well rested, as long as i got some solid sleep.
its 5 am now and i just woke up with 1/10 pain, lets hope this day stays like this as it would be a great relife.
physio exercises are getting much better.
there are also 2 patients here doing dual LL tibs and femur with mitkovic, one even got the femur operation while the tibs device was still in place on the tibs, maybe about 4 months into consolidation.
Hi microman
Congrats on your ll journey! I am a little surprised that you actually did it so fast after I saw your posts not too long ago.
You are the man!! Be strong and get well!!
Congrats! It will all be ok just hang in there! 
On a side note, do you have any information about Mitkovic femur device?
its the same device, its external monorail.
hospital wifi works well, i am able to stream south park episodes so you can watch videos most of the day.
food is good for hospital food at least, yoghurt, bread and pate, soup, fresh water, sausages.
hospital staff are very good, sadly my main nurse doens't speak any english so as mentioned before just use google translate via android phone.
the dr. said he doesn't expect misalingments but all the patients said everyone gets misalingments with monorail devices, which is one drawback of them comparid to other devices like ilazarov.
Great things are going really well for you! What do you mean by misalignments? Meaning the bone being bent or something? Mitkovic told me I would not be in any pain at all by looking at my X-RAYS. 5.1 centimetres is my aim as well!
happens all the time with monorail, the bone kindof pokes out at a certain point, you will find out more about it if you choose to use this device.
