Day 1

With Dr. Paley in West Palm my surgery was yesterday.  It went well.  Bilateral femur Precice 2.2.  I have a minimum goal of 5.1 cm and the theoretical maximum of 8 cm. 

Height - 165.5 cm to 166.5 cm or so depending on the time of day.
Age - 35
Sex - Male
Wingspan - 165.5 cm

Mock up link http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=66425.0

Heavy legs after the surgery.  Starting PT today.  Please take a look at my mock ups and let me know what you think.  I don’t have plans to Lengthen tibia’s so I don’t want to have femurs that are too long relative to my tibias. 

Sleeping was hard the first night.  I was able to eat well afterwards.  Definitely had to drink a lot of water since my urine was much darker than normal.  Nursing staff here are incredible.

Congrats at your surgery! May the force be with you!
Don't worry about the mock ups, you have already done the surgery, just look at the mirror mate and you can see better!
Thanks for starting a diary!

Day 1 Night

Very little sleep; small blocks of an hour of sleep

Day 2

Wow were my quads and hamstrings swollen.  It made PT very hard.  I almost passed out due to low blood pressure while sitting up on the edge of the bed.  Luckily later my blood pressure was better and I was able to transfer to the walker then to the wheel chair.

Day 2 Night
Much better sleep.  Blocks of three hours of sleep.  Only advice is to stay ahead of the pain.  It is not the time to be macho
