Surgery Greece stryde femur 23 june

Hi Everybody
I made the decision to face this path and in these days I will explain the motivations (emotional, logical after years of reflection) that pushed me.
I have already taken a home for the next two months.

Good luck bro! Rooting for you.
Would be another good diary for Dr. Giotikas.

All the best man!

Excited to see your journey. I am planning surgery with Dr G next year so will be great to hear your experience.

Thanks a lot dream big

Good luck! I hope the best for your surgery
Let us know every news 

Good luck man. Let us know how it goes! 

15 June 1 week before the surgery .

A little about me.

 I am a 32 year old young man. I am tall 1.63 1.64 .

 I have always wanted to do it since I was 21 years old but energy, money and practical impossibility of doing it had occurred.
Stryde speeded things up and teased me (possibility of reconciling with work from the computer).
Even the quarantine actually with the coronavirus has pushed me to think maybe in these three months July August and September nobody will miss me and I can continue to do my work from the computer.

The problem is that I had too many doubts
After talking to dr. Pili there were some things that didn't convince me especially about fat embolism the fact that someone don't drill several holes to prevent fat embolism.
I asked myself I read books on how to deal with difficult situations. And I wondered “for the next 19 years you feel that you will solve this problem e.g.
Not putting on shoes with heels or anything? No” . guys sure I would have continued to wear high-heeled shoes with an internal heel and to tell the truth I already feel low with high-heeled shoes let alone without. Sure I would have thought about it but i cannot anymore face this with that solution.

The fact is that when you study or work it is normal that you do not think about it you are in an inner phase but when you make social life with the other beach walk or something else it seems a continuous anxiety as if they will continually look at your shoes and discover that something is wrong.

I didn't see myself walking barefoot or running with a friend many times.
I wanted to face my historical insecurity. Will this be the right way? . When you leave, let alone that I see the slope of the sidewalk and I saw which part was higher (usually the right) to put me there.
I had to do something.
I think that regardless of everything my external image does not correspond to the internal image I have of myself.

I tried with upper body mass gym well but I walk curved with shoes with heels. I felt the suffering of some girls that in a moment the magic vanished. even if we remember women are being emotional for some it matters for others not.


One thing that impressed me was in a wedding 1 year ago. Although I had put on shoes with a 5 cm heel (and not the 7 or 8 one) I was the lowest ever of 150 people. All the girls or gentlemen were taller. I think who is 1.63 or 1.64 falls within the percentage where 99% is higher. Even if in that event I was trying to be at my home and being subdued I promised myself that I would never use shoes with an internal 5 cm low heel again..
I spent a week at home. .

6cm or 7 would be enough even if my goal is 7 or 8cm.
came the
Time to face the moment and on Tuesday giotikas will intervene.
How did I prepare for the operation?
I have been trying to stay in shape by leaving bodybuilding alone and focusing on cardio and running and stretching the last month. I thought that in case of bone fracture a certain degree of fat will be released into the blood and I thought it important to have good circulation and breathing (compete with you for what could have been done 1 month before)

Some thoughts on concerns and how I solved them:

1. Fat embolism- speaking with Giotikas confirmed to me that it is very rare. He told me 1 in 2000 can happen. HE said to me that the statistics we have available have been compiled by a part of the population that is older which is more exposed or by road accidents in which we do not immediately intervene. With the special technique and for aesthetic reasons there are no statistics in this regard and it is considered much rarer.1 out of 2000 falls into the following cases

2. Blood cots fortunately we can move right away, but to avoid this complication he confirmed that he is also running Stryde blood tiner for two weeks and also practices so-called decompression

3. Poor healing is seen every two weeks and said that if there is little bone callus with stryde or you stop for a few days and you monitor or you can even go back and you can hardly get to the non Union

4. Sciatic nerve is not touched and has confirmed to me that it is the doctor's negligence and he supports the alignment well

5. Pain management? Well I hope in medicines even if dr giotikas informed me that already getting used to stretching I help my head to get used to that burning sensation not to interpret it as pain
TIME IS coming

Thoughts on 18 June -  4 days before the operation
 here it is in my original state today is Thursday and tomorrow Friday I will take flights to go to Greece to spend Saturday and Sunday. on  Monday scheduled for anesthetist and then Tuesday operation.

1.considerations we try to project ourselves into the future when this 3 months have passed and we will try to walk "normal". One wonders what the operation will be like what it means to walk how painful it will be, if we are crazy to do this but was there really a need? One doubts oneself and everything. But then we think of social anxieties about that sense of inadequacy. It will be like a blink of an eye and then being able to say "is the best decision I have made"?
My leg are walking they are doing their function how will be for them if i put my effort at max?

2. Things that took place today. Today the suitcase was packed for three months. Lots of clothes bought to play sports shorts, T-shirts and shoes. One wonders what it will be like to walk on crutches. If you put stryde that bears 75 kg and I weigh 68, is it better not to put the backpack between your shoulders? It is believed that you will not be able to hold anything in your hands when you are on crutches. Tickets are printed and you can see what to do in two days in Athens. 3. Mental state mood excited and hopefully the operation will take place quickly in the blink of an eye and then quickly to practice without any complications.
Best regard


I arrive today in Athene I organized my self in a house on airbnb near the
physotherapy center ( by telling the truth not so near is 800 metres how i will moove with crutches or wheelchair? I will need a taxy everytime?) . Overall the sansation is mixing of anxiety and relaxing.

Congratulations and good luck. Everything will be fine. Hopefully I will be where you are in a year from now. keep us posted.

Congrat and good luck bro!! Do you need to quarantine when you first come there?
