okay thanks for that explanation, I will just assume that wont happen with me then.

but yeah i did find it wierd he did only one leg for you first, apprently so it was more comfortable for you? i don't think i have ever come across that on any diary but i will ask him more details about that during consultation.

yes walking is slowly improving.. i dont notice it day by day but the videos show me how much im improving week per week.. comparing my video yesterday to a week ago is quite drastic.. walking is however still very tiring.. but im sure that over the next couple of months that it will return back to 100% normal and hopefully should have both my frames off by mid october..

are you sure to avoid long life pain?
That's my biggest worry, even though i only consider 3.5 cm which is 10 times safer than 7.5 cm, i couldn't handle my life.

Also, i would you to know, if you don't mind
-how old are you, i remember you once said you're 40 years old.
-How it feels to be 185 cm , do you notice a big difference when you compare yourself to others?

* Wednesday 22nd July - I got really bored sitting in my hotel room so i thought id go for a walk outside without taking my crutches. At first i thought i was just going to go for a short stroll. But i thought, you know what, i might make a bit of a night out of it. So i decided to walk to where me and the previous patient went when i first arrived here just over 5 months ago, about 1km from the hotel. I finally made it to the bar, walked in there, ordered myself a drink, and just enjoyed being back into what i consider normal life for me. Sitting down, having a drink, embracing the atmosphere of being in a bar again. I stayed there for an hour or so in which time i only had 3 drinks, and geez was i pissed. All that time off the alcohol made me an absolute lightweight. I decided id go for another walk down the strip where a number of other bars were. Wasnt really much happening so i pulled the pin and walked all the way back to the hotel. Im not sure if it was the booze, but the walk back was much easier. So basically id walked about 2km unaided, although tiring my walking looked pretty normal and i thought it was quite an achievement after only being having my left leg operated on 4 months earlier.

my pain now is pretty much non existent,my legs are just stiff when i first stand up to walk. walking is still pretty exhausting but its returning to normal.
im not 40. im in my 20s but dont wish to give my exact age. Yeah now that my walking is more upright, at 185 i find it rare to see guys taller than me to be honest. There is an enormous amount of guys that are just a bit shorter than me that would have had over an inch on me before.. i still do see a few guys on a daily basis that make me look short but im in a country known for having tall men. so until i leave i wont feel what the new height is really like. i can only imagine if i feel tallish here how im gonna feel back in my own country.. i also look alot taller now just from having longer legs.. jeans look better on me.. its great

How do you feel now at 185 cm? Do you still comparing your height with other guys?Or you think less about height?
Does your family and friends  know for surgery?

now that ive gone from being on the verge of being tall to a height that is no question tall, i no longer obsess about my height as im completely 100% satisfied with it.. i let my height before stop me from being myself, and let it affect me in all aspects of life.. but now its just a thing of the past and when i see people that make me look small or short it doesnt bother me in the slightest bit as i know that no one could ever question me about being short... my next goal is to get myself into great shape, get back to normal life and earn money again, be confident with who i am and live a life without insecurities.. and no, noone knows ive done this..
