Here is my latest x-ray . I'm closing in on a total of 3 inches soon enough and it's noticeable. It's definitely a driving force.
Hey Guys,
I actually recorded a video a few days ago and decided not to post it because while it had great info and explanations, there were a lot of times I got emotional. Reason being, I see how much I have hurt my parents when they see me in such discomfort and I am a very sensitive person when it comes to my family so i'm going to try to edit that video and keep in the relevant parts. I'm taking the pain killers once a day now for pt which is all sorts of crazy, especially since I have been through pt for such a long time. It becomes tiresome and you just wish for a break but ultimately this is what I asked for and I knew what difficulties could arise from this. The best attitude I can have is to become a stronger person- pardon the cliche- and pass on my perspective to other prospective patients about how difficult two surgeries back to back can be.
I think now besides the difficulties peeing- which i notice has become easier- but not yet ok- is the burning and tinging in my toes from my nerve decompression release. This is an operation that is done to prevent dropped foot so in essence my foot is feeling things it did not feel before or perhaps had lost sensation and is now regaining it. So it's a bit like walking in a sock filled with lemon juice after you've run a marathon through the sand. It really gets ridiculous when I start listing off my issues because you would think with such a harsh time during my tibia lengthening I would be iron clad but holy fk it seems the god I don't believe in is trying his best to punish me for wanting average height. 
As far as Paley, look there's a reason he recommends people do the femurs first and I remember one of the doctors telling me once i finish the tibia's there is no way i'll return for a second op. Ha.

Those prices 
I'll tell you what though dude, you are an absolute trooper and your vlogs are absolutely fantastic. So much respect.
there's nothing wrong with being emotional and thanks for the honest update. it's important for prospective patients to see in diaries the bad times too, not just the good times.
I only did femurs and your video brought back how miserable and regretful I was right after the surgery- thinking what the hec I had done to myself and the pain I've intentionally inflicted upon myself. Fortunately, those dark days are a distant memory for me now and I hope the pain will soon be a distant memory for you too. stay strong
you are very brave!!!! Its awesome what you are doing.
Listen to your body, listen to your parents, our shelfishness is too high.
Weight the pros and cons.
I wish you the best
Wow, you are extremely brave man. Thank you very much for sharing your journey with us. I feel like every diary I've read at one point mentions how they somewhat regret doing it, but once things start getting better they feel better again. You're at the worst part and already halfway through. It'll start to get better soon just like the tibias.
Keep us posted whenever you're feeling like it man! Don't become a ghost
Hi Iamready
I am glad to hear back from you again and sorry for your extreme pain. You are really a brave man. Right now, don't worry about anything. Just be strong and take care of yourself. Although I have not done ll yet, I can tell you that it will be always getting better and better every single day. Stay strong!!
Full Respect - One year ago during my (single) fitbone femur 6 cm lengthening, I had so many plans - Study,Books,learn another language, spend lotsa time with family etc - but i was in too much pain to do any of that.
But after about 5 months things just got better and better - dont b too hard on yourself, this will make u a more compassionate Man, and u will come to apreciate Family, the ability to move freely and life in general all the more ☺☺
If the immense suffering and psycological burden that comes with it will continue, I advise you to stop femurs at 5-6cm mark. You will gain atleast 10cm! It will be a whole new world for you and the recovery will also be good because of only 5cm or 6cm on femurs
