Quote from: baltiless on July 18, 2022, 07:05:39 AMThank you this is very thoroughly documented!

How did you get around from hospital to hotel to Hackerman's? When you are finally done, how will you go to the airport to
go back home? Do you have someone else (family or friend) with you while traveling from one place to the other?

I was discharged from the hospital to my hotel via ambulance. When it's time to move to the HP house, I will hire 2 caretakers for this.

I drove to Baltimore (little less than 2 hour drive). I'll be staying until I'm consolidated enough to walk on forearm crutches or close to it. Just told a few friends back at home. Hiring caretakers when necessary. Once I settle into the HP house, caretaker needs will go down considerably.

Can you use it at any time to go anywhere near Baltimore from the hospital (even after discharge)? Like let's say after you are done lengthening you required help to go back home while you are still on a wheelchair, can you just book an ambulance from the hospital to take you from Hackerman's to your home or airport?

No way you should be using an ambulance for a ride. It should only be used once for leg lengthening surgery - when you get discharged from the hospital after surgery. Ambulance rides will cost well over 10 times more than what a taxi or ride-sharing would cost.

why was your right foot so crooked? were you born with that defect?

How was the doctor able to rotate it to neutral position? From the place of the osteotomy? What about the position of the fibula after the rotation?

Born with right tibial torsion. Doctor rotates from the place of osteotomy. Not sure about the details of the fibula. I mentioned this in my YouTube channel, feel free to look it up and subscribe.

Summary of ambulance: Ambulance rides are only designated for emergency medical transport and as part of certain major medical procedures.

Ambulances are not for taxi rides. Just think, suppose an ambulance company allowed an ambulance to be used as a taxi. Then a medical emergency event takes place. However, the patient cannot be transported to the hospital because that ambulance is being used as a taxi ride. The patient then dies. You know heads are going to roll when all this is discovered.
