Quote from: The Kaiser on October 03, 2016, 07:36:32 PMwhat a professional answer, ok may i ask you 1- the fractured happened in your bone or in the device itself?
2- should you hire a helper or you can manage yourself alone? 3- how the helper cost?
4- this question make me like crazy, how much is the surgery itself in Milan, is it 45000, 50000 or 65000 Euros, i always here a different answer?
i hope you recover very well, god bless
1- the fractured happened in your bone or in the device itself?
The fracture happened in my bone (nothing was wrong with the device).
2- should you hire a helper or you can manage yourself alone?
NO, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to manage on your own the first 2 weeks. You can hardly move. So everyone who came for surgery finally understood that they needed a helper for AT LEAST the first 2 weeks post operation.
3- how the helper cost?
It depends on what level of helper. There are professional nurses and there are also, just 'babysitters'. It's really up to you to negotiate.
4- this question make me like crazy, how much is the surgery itself in Milan, is it 45000, 50000 or 65000 Euros, i always here a different answer?
I would say at least 65,000 euros for the surgery + post-op PT + Guichet time, EXCLUDING all I had listed before.

Expect to pay between £500-1,000 per week for a helper. But it is also possible to get a cleaning lady to help you clean your house and prepare some meals for £10-15/hour.
I just had my xrays done today, and so far we can see bones forming on both legs and fracture. So, I'll continue doing physio everyday and learn how to walk without crutches on my right leg. For my left, the bone has to heal first, before we rebreak another part for clicking/distraction.

Be careful and ask Dr Guichet about putting your full weight in one leg it seems like putting your weight 2x on one leg, am not an expert but just worry about this situation.
about the cleaning lady, can i make her my helper lol?
what about the hotels, cheap one with Wifi does Dr Guichet helped you with a cheap accommodation? how much it may cost?
take care you're in a very safe hands

Yes, I was very surprised. At first, I was fully weight bearing on just 1 leg and it was all ok. Now that my pelvis tilt has been cured, I weight bear 50/50 on left and right. I'm so HAPPY about this progress 
It's up to you to find accommodation, Guichet doesn't help. But because it's London, you can find anything 
I would highly recommend you to be in the Marylebone, Bloomsbury or Fitzrovia area, closest to the gym on Great Russell Street. That will save you daily transport cost and stress
There is a hotel on top of the gym, called ST GILES on Great Russell Street. I think it's £99 on the web but am sure you can negotiate for better rates for 2 months' stay.
Thank you, I'm working hard so that I can grow my bones quickly and finish my lengthening
Thanks unicorn!! Good luck with your recovery, its actually really reassuring that even though you had a bit of a complication you're doing well.
Also do you know for how long Guichet will be in work as I have considered just doing my femurs for about 5-6 cm and just dealing with the fact that my femurs will be looking about 3-4inches longer than my tibias.. But it doesnt look too bad as Asians typically have smaller tibias anyway
Hope you've had a good day today

You don't have to worry, Guichet's around for a while.
I initially thought my proportions would make my tibia short too but instead, it made everything look longer. Now my elongated leg looks NORMAL, and my old short leg looks like I got it SHORTENED...
I can understand, I was trying to do the proportions thing with photoshop and honestly the elongated ones looked a lot more natural than my actual legs (they look so stubby)
Do you know why Guichet doesn't do tibias, and also if you don't mind me asking why have you chosen that now is the right time for you?

He said it takes more than a year for recovery and more complex than femur (two bone should be broke)

I'm trying to look for other doctors that do tibias on here but so far I've only got a diary of external tibia by Dr.sarin. does you or anyone know other doctors with good reputation that do that do tibia and their prices?
