Glad you're doing well brother, I hope you drop in now and then after your time at the hospital or consolidation with some videos and photos. You still going for the big 7.5cm? I know a lot of us are planning to hit the lower end of the cm range now, best of luck Penguin. I'm rooting for you!
I'll consider uploading media way into my recovery. I'm definitely going for 7.5cms.
Not sure what you mean by "lower end of the cm range", I think 3" with internals in femurs is very rational.

I'm curious why you constantly say you are going to lengthen 7.5cm instead of just doing the full 8cm? The PRECICE can extend to 8cm because that's the maximum safe limit for someone whose body can safely handle that much lengthening, not 7.5cm.
If you are going by inches then 7.62cm is 3 inches, but why cheat yourself out of the extra millimeters...

I wouldn't mind 7.4 or 7.6, it's close enough to 3" that no one including me will ever know the difference. If I can save trouble by doing 7.5 instead of 8, I will. What I "need" is 5'5, anything after that I can live without if it's not coming free.

Ok. Your choice, but I think it's a waste to not go the full 8cm, if Dr. Parihar says it's safe...
As you know Dr. Parihar is one of my top choices, it would be great if you would post some physical therapy videos. It's easy to not include your face, and would provide so much valuable information. Thanks and keep up the good work!

I don't think he'll suggest a higher goal than a patient is ok with. I don't really care after I get my 5'5.
Right now I can't be bothered, but I'll seriously consider videos after consolidation since a lot of people want them.

Please consider videos of physical therapy during your lengthening, it would help me, and i'm sure a lot of other people, understand what really goes on during this time. Along with seeing the progress or regression and rehabilition exercises.
Hi Penguinn are you really that young? You sound mature! You are a good example for many of us guys. Parihar seems a good doc
Here there is a proof that intelligence is not related with age.
Hey Penguinn, I've been lurking on this forum for several years and have been anonymously following your updates. Thank you so much for keeping your diary updated. I had Dr. Parihar in the back of my mind for a LONG time but I really wanted Internal Fixators (Precice 2). To my pleasant surprise, you are the first patient. I want to get the same surgery done. I've been trying to contact Dr. Parihar's office but was having trouble (I'm living in the US currently, and the receptionists were not understanding my accent). Can you privately message me with Dr. Parihar's email address? I found some links online but I think its outdated. I want to figure out how I can coordinate this from the United States.
