Quote from: PM_ME_YOUR_REFUGEES on October 31, 2016, 07:08:18 AMHey 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 I found some links online but I think its outdated.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.
PM'd.
Penguinn- Precice II internal femurs with Dr. Parihar
Hi,,
I hope you are doing fine!
Can you upload photos of the locations, like where you live, the hospital, physiotherapy facilities etc.?

Quotethe hospital, physiotherapy facilities etc.?This was the room I stayed in:

Room 23.
There is apparently a room for physio that I have seen pictures of but never been there. I don't think they'd ever take a cosmetic LL patient there because it's too much trouble. Easier to send the physio over. The physiotherapist would come to my room and after that to my home. Again, I'm living at home, half an hour from Mangal Anand because I'm a Mumbai resident.
haha, thanks
sorry I haven't read that you live at home.
The rooms looks okay, nothing wrong with it.
I guess the people who rant about the hospital are just used to excessive opulence seen in the western hospitals. And, nowadays, in the new Indian hospitals also.
But then again, you would want those 7-10 days in the hospitals to be as comfortable as possible, so I guess there are merits to their concerns.
Penguinn, the 9 lakhs from the doctor's end comes with a private room, right?

In the defense of that one person who wrote he saw Mangal Anand from the outside and turned tail, it does look like a horror movie prop from the outside. It's decent from the inside and the bed is practical and good for an LL patient. The fact that the surgeon was outstanding far overruled everything for me.
Yes, the room is definitely private.

Lol, you are really good with your expressions
Update: 3rd November 2016 - Half way done lengthening
I'm at 3.733cms lengthened which is about the mid point.
>Pain is still minimal. Surprisingly the pains I do have are not in my femurs, quads or hamstrings. My left part-right-above-the-heel(don't know what to call it) feels a bit tender for a few seconds while bending my leg but it's no big deal. I think it's from keeping my legs in a sleeping position too long. On my right, one tiny area between the abductor and glutes gets a muscle pull sort of feeling while doing side leg raises during physio. My calves have their dull ache sometimes from sitting on the bed too long but it's lesser than they used to. I would still rate it 1/10.
>Pills.. I've only been taking my calcium and vitamins. No painkillers have been taken in weeks. The fresh packet of pain killers I got on 13th October is still almost fully intact. I haven't needed a single sleeping pill in my entire LL thus far.
>Proportions are good as of 1.5 inches in mine and everyone else's opinion but with 1.5 more my femurs will definitely look long, but acceptable and very much coverable in pants.
>Sleep is great so far. I just woke up from 9 hours of sleep(without any medication) and had to lengthen late as a result.
Penguinn hi ,You will remove the rod after treatment or the doctor said you would stay with her forever? The doctor said something about not having trouble keeping the rod in the femur forever? thank you and good luck

It'll be removed around 2 years after the initial surgery. Late 2018.
