guys!
Its 8h30m in Milan right now.. my surgery schedule for the end of the week, and I'm doing my last Cybex test in a couple of hours.. I'm a bit nervous and my confidence on the results of this test is low.. i didn't notice a progression on my strength during training at the Isokinetic.. I worked a lot, but I don't seem to see results.. I think my body got a shock from being in a different place with different routines, eating different food, sleeping in a different bed.. well... I will give everything i have on the test!!

Give it your best shot and stay positive! I wish you all the best

hi guys!
thank you for the support.. its midnight in milan and i think it will be another night in blank.. my legs are in pain, i believe is from swelling reaction to surgery.. i had painkillers 4 hours ago, so i think there is no point asking for more, i tried the exercises of Dr. Guichet but the pain only goes off for a minute, and after i think the pain is worst.. i think i gonna try to distract from the pain watching a movie or something.. i don't bike yet.. the physiotherapist try to make me walk on walker but i had instant nausea and sweet when i was on foot.. he say this happen to 50% of patients.. tomorrow i will try bike for the first time.
unfortunately, my story is not starting like the most successful stories, but i believe i still can change this..
another thing.. i said in the beginning of this diary that i would "try to be as honest as possible".. well the possible honesty is limited by the fact that is very easy to identify me when describing my story.. so there are mistakes i made during preparation and opinions on Dr. Guichet that at least for now i'm not sharing..

Whatever you decide it is important for us to know about the difficulties of limb lenghtening à-la-Guichet...
We will welcome any input of yours, dude and thanks again for this.
All the best wishes for you!

Congratz on doing the surgery!
It must be psychologically and physically challenging to do exercise right after surgery
But Dr.Guichet does have a very good record of patients recovering well so you are in good hands.
Stay strong buddy, the days will be pass quickly and you'll be a taller man in no time

GZ on your surgery!!! From my side, there's nothing to say, i'm just enjoying my new life n i wish u the same very soon (70-75 days of lengthening is not a big deal^^).

Just a little advise, move as much as u can. All the pain u're experiencing now due to the exercices is the pain u won't have later, mobility is the key. Push it hard, like a warrior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey guys! thank you for the support!! i really need it.. its 3a.m. in Milan, i had Panacetamol 10 minuts ago so i think i will be able to sleep an hour, maybe an hour and a half in a few minuts.. but i will wake up again and be in pain for a while until the nurses give more painkillers..  the pain today is not so bad as yesterday but is enough to keep you awake.. and i'm stressing up a little because tomorrow is a very important day.. i will start clicking regularly, which scares me because i have a hard time to relax my muscles, the pain of the movements make my muscles tense and it does not let me click.. and i will leave the hospital.. which is also scary because the last time i walked i got heavy breathing, sweet and white face after just a few minutes.. Dr. Guichet already told me that i will have a slower lengthening rithm in order to recover the sensibility on two feet fingers that i lost during surgery
i was not expecting that my body would react so badly to this surgery.. i'm doing this with Caribe, we had surgery in the same day and we will be sharing a flat here in Milan.. i was expecting that our recovery would be similar because we are the same original height, he is a little older but he did bodybuilding in the past so he is heavier and with a stronger frame than me.. but until now he is so much better that me, he is doing the exercises on is own, i only can do them with the physiotherapist.. he cycled in the day of operation itself, i only did it yesterday... he walked to the x-ray room, i went in the bed.. and he had a first good night of sleep.. well i gonna try to sleep now..

You lost the sensitivity right, not your feet fingers? 
Did he say why and if it will come back?

Sorry for your foot!
Is this problem related to the lenghtening Guichet gave you during your surgery?
How much did he lenghten your thigh?
I wish you well.
