Hey mate love your diary it's really amazing to see someone make turn a dream into a reality, and to be open about it is a very brave thing so my hat's off for you! How does it feel being 5'10? Do you see the world differently? Do people treat you differently? And have you you notice a different reaction with opposite sex?

Well I'm not able to walk so I haven't really been in public but whenever someone comes to my home- family members and close friends- they are amazed by how much taller I got. It's also surprising when I'm standing with my walker, how much taller I feel. I'm just not used to it yet. I'm absolutely sure it will stir a positive reaction with women but as far as finding a life partner goes- it shouldn't matter. I think you'd be better off with a girl who doesn't have height on her checklist; and believe me from personal experience there are girls that actually appreciate a man despite his height. As far as casually dating women, it opens up a whole filthy world of women- which may not even be a good thing.
My dream last night was actually me as I am now. Unable to walk and taller. For some reason it took place in a dorm room I was moving out of and there were people boxing things up. I kept forgetting I shouldn't fully weight bear and would walk unusually every so often but it was nice to see myself in my dream as the taller me because now my mind has accepted this new reality. There were also all types of girls on my bed and around my bathtub as I was bathing. Maybe because I miss being around them so much. I'd like to at least be on crutches and not having to pee every 5 minutes for that. I wonder if anyone else has had this pissing issue. The reason I remember my dreams is because I wake up in the middle of them to piss in a bottle. It began when I stopped taking the meds and has persisted for the whole week.
It definitely must feel great to be on the other side of journey now! And it would take some getting use too walking around at that height I could only imagine how happy you must feel! Totally agree about the women, I think they're are definitely more girl's in your range now get it while you can man! 
What would you say was the hardest part of your journey and what would your advice being for anyone thinking about doing this procedure?
Any idea on when you'll be full weight bearing?
Would you be kind enough to put some photos of you with your new height man? I love to see how you look in your final height:)
Dr Paley is an artist. It would be cool to see your final height after you recover. Were you 5'5 barefoot before? Towards 5'6 or just 5'5 exact? Would love to know if you dont mind. I hope to do something similar if i dont grow any taller at 19. I really hope and pray i shoot up 4 inches, this looks real hard and annoying to do, but it will pay off in the end. Better days are ahead my dude. Not better but the best. Hang in there and make a full recovery.
Hey man, not sure if you are on crutches yet but figured you might be interested in seeing these. I am thinking about pre ordering a pair now so I have them if I do the surgery next summer.

Hi Jay, I've sent a message to your inbox, could you please take a look?
Best, Naomi
Hey. Sorry for keeping you guys hanging but I've been getting tortured at physical therapy and trying to build muscle while consolidating. I have a tough road ahead of me until I can live a normal life. My legs are as skinny as sticks and I have some flexibility issues I need to deal with in order to walk properly when given the clearance. Lengthening is just part of the battle. Especially when you gain as much height as I did. Someone asked me what the hardest part of limb lengthening is and I'd say it's all hard. The surgery to the therapy and even now consolidating. Not being able to walk for such a long time eats at you. You begin to forget what it's like to be normal and you're no longer motivated by the image of a taller self. I'm just doing what I need to do to get back in the game so it might mean me staying away from the forums for a bit. When I'm recovered and walking I'll keep you posted. I've got my life to live.
hey bruh, I thought that would be the case! I'm hoping that things will get better for you! Haha well that question was from me and it sounds like you've definitely got to be strong minded to get through this...I can only imagine what that must feel and yes I agree go out and forget about this forum for little while!
