Update: 13th October 2016 - 23 days post-op
Visited the hospital for X-Rays. My lengthening is going properly and 1.7cms is distracted. Pain's still manageable, just little annoying aches sometimes. Sleep is still fine. I slept for 8 hours last night and would've slept for more had I not been woken up to use the Precice machine.

Turns out, the whole time I was on Lanol(650mg) and I'm given a fresh batch in case the pain gets too much to handle. I brought back a batch I'd already used on the 29th of September home and in 2 weeks I must've used like 3 or 4, that too not for extreme pain but for aches that I just couldn't be bothered with.

I don't know why "Nise" was in my head. It must be the nurses saying it all the time, but the pills I was taking even in the ICU from what I recall look exactly like the Lanol ones I'm taking now.
However, Dr. P encourages handling manageable pain externally which I already do via a hot water bag. It's usually my calves that ache because of sitting idly... my quads and hamstrings don't even know I'm doing LL most of the time.
Funny thing, even though physiotherapy is encouraged by everyone for all LL methods to get back to normal asap, yesterday I ended up doing only 1 session because going to the hospital, getting X-Rays, waiting there etc. and back had me tired- and I feel much chipper today than usual. A bit stronger and flexible, even. This is not me saying anything against physiotherapy but I've noticed it before and occasional, unintentional off days seem to do me good.
Ok, but let's be serious. I think you should show that article to Dr. Parihar.
