Going down to the pool and binge watching TV shows is what passed my time and kept my mind off the pain. The pool is especially helpful because you can also exercise while in it. I watched all the seasons of Scrubs, Modern Family, and Rick and Morty while in the hotel. Time flies for me now because of it.
Man it's been raining cats and dogs this whole week since I moved. I've gone to the jacuzzi despite the rain but the rain has been getting heavy. You can even see me wet in that photo with my father and that's An hour after we got home.
Today was the annual 5k Paley Foudation Marathon. I woke up at 4am to attend but of course came as everyone crossed the finish line. I was a bit disappointed because I brought my manual wheelchair and wanted to see if I had it in me to make the 5k without assistance. There was breakfast and we took a group photograph. I was in front of course. I decided instead of taking a taxi back to take my wheelchair and the trip was approximately 2 miles back to my apartment. A good portion uphill and some obstacles such as train tracks and vampires but I made it home safely and proudly. I just got out the spa after stretching and i'm heading out for a burger and perhaps watch the new James Bond Movie. Good day all.
Maybe you could also try learning/playing an instrument. I've found it to be a great way to pass time, gain a fun and challenging skillset, express myself artistically, and manage with physical and emotional pain, turning it into something positive. If I were to do LL (I'm not in any particular hurry to decide get it done, rather I'll do it if "the cards are right"), making music would probably be my main free time activity. And you could still go to music jams and stuff in your wheelchair. Just tell people you broke your pelvis or something along those lines.
Taller your name should be musicmaker
I'm actually surprised now that they didn't give you Oxycontin even though you're 32. I thought you were in your early 20s for some reason. I'm a few years younger than you and I got Oxycontin. And another patient who is 35 also had a lot of pain and got Oxycontin. I strongly believe that if you're in late 20s and beyond, you'll get tight easily and have a lot of pain. This has been my experience from viewing the other patients while I was there. Only the younger people had little to no pain. Anyway, I hope you're feeling better. Now that I know that you're older, I realize now why you're getting so tight so easily.
Yeah, it's just one of those things i'm going to have to find a way to deal with. Looking 18 and being 32 has its cons. They may have automatically assumed i'm a punk kid looking for a high- but in reality my pain can get quite bad.
About music, i'm actually going to buy a keyboard- i believe it's called a controller- that allows you to play music on the computer. I'm also an artist and I bought several art items I can highlight in a future video. If I think if something cool to post I will. I saw The Night Before yesterday and it really raised my spirits until I realized I lost my glasses. I'm going to have to make a trip to costco and get a new pair 
To be fair based on the tone of your voice and your more carefree attitude I also found it surprising that you are 32 years old; I'm guessing I do have a lot to look forward too in my later years.
Anyways, I got two questions. How easy is it to maneuver throughout the places you visit considering you're bound to a chair now? When are you gonna stop lengthening your tibia; would you stop at the "supposed" limit of 5 CM?
i'd like to stop at 6.5cm. I'm doing all that I can, there's no excuse I will accept. Physical therapy 2 times a day, stretching more than an average patient. If I don't get past 5 cm I am going to be extremely disappointed because I have gone above and beyond what has been asked of me by the PT and Doctors. I think the reason I was slowed down to .5cm a day was because my pain was severe and I was horrified that something serious occurred and I eased stretching for a few days. A few days is all it takes to lose flexibility especially when lengthening everyday. I chalk it up as a fluke but one thing I am still irritated about is how they are stingy with the pain medicine when it would actually benefit my progress greatly by allowing me to sleep better and stretch harder. It's not my call and i'm not a doctor but perhaps I will get a better explanation or a solution from them this friday at my 2 week checkup.
Mobility is not an issue, I have strong arms and have gone 2 miles without issue getting around. People will help open doors. I'm surprised that so few places are handicap friendly but we are only a small segment of the population so I accept it.
i went to the spa after lengthening and a beautiful girl was there waiting for me. After telling her about my lengthening procedure we started flirting and then the security guard comes on cue and grinches us out of the spa for staying past 5pm. Anyway, the girl wasn't wierded out at all that I had gone through limb lengthening surgery nor has any other person I have told during this trip. There aren't many people that I get a chance to talk to but I usually tell people "wanna know how I ended up in this wheelchair." Just so they know not to feel bad for me and that it was a voluntary procedure. Really guys, people don't care. Maybe it's my attitude towards it that makes people comfortable with the idea but you should share the same attitude. Every girl I date will know the first date that we have and I really think you should be honest with your friends and family too with this procedure. No one has said anything bad. The worst was... why would you do that, you weren't even short. Which is just something people say to make you feel better. My starting height of 5 4.5-5 is considered short if you're a rational human being. Anyway. Just sharing a story. Before she left she apologized for not giving her name, and I told her i'd see her around. Back to stretching.
