suggestions for a fake story for the workspace regarding the frames

hello all, i mailed dr. catagni and asked for a possibility for going back a week after the surgery and doing lengthening at home. I could arrange a physio and a dietician to look after me and i stay with my friends.

the reason i want to go back is that i wont be getting a sabattical for that long and i dont want to lose my job since i would need to pay the debts.

so would have to go to work. thankfully its a desk job(i code).

i was wondering what story to cook up for the frames that i would be in for an year. Also any idea if my employers might throw me out due to the picture they would have in mind about my health? i mean externals look very painful to watch, so they might consider throwing me out? or wouldnt they?

i thought of telling them that i had dropped the dumbles on the shin at the gym which broke my tibs :p
any suggestions?

Any respectable employer (or human) would know that it doesn't take a year to heal from a normal broken bone. It may require a few months but definitely not as long as you'll be in frames. They'll also know that no doctor is going to put you in frames for a normal bone break.

Your best bet is to say you have a genetic bone deformity that is being corrected but its a pretty slippery slope to try to get away with a year of lies. Probably better chance with internals.

Tell them you Will fix a deformity that causes you problems

Limb lengthening can be used to treat leg length discrepancies, which can cause osteoarthritis and other problems. You could say you are doing that if you need to.

Although they Will see antes increase un height

Hm, yeah. Maybe he could say it affected his posture... or that the fixators broke and just kept clicking away, and he ended up much taller...

Hahaha, I Hope the Boss is not a genius

No story would work... sorry. Maybe if it was unilateral, then change work and then do another unilateral. Going around with 2 big cages in your legs is gonna raise suspicion.

Well if hiding is that important, maybe you can look into hybrid methods like LON and LATN? That, you can probably stay in frames for like 3-4 months then after it's removed, you can make something up while consolidating.

Real fractures can take a few months to fully heal, so you can probably say you broke both legs in an accident or something.

When was the last time you saw a person in metal frames from a normal bone break?

The reality is, there is no good excuse outside of maybe x-legs. Even a difference in leg length isn't going to warrant two frames. The height increase is the least you'll have to worry about. Best bet is deformity. Or if you can convince them to let you work remotely.
