Hi unicorn888,
I've been following your diary for quite some time and I can't tell you how sorry am.
Dr guichet  problem is that he thinks he knows it all, and he's so freaky cky, his stupid g nail is rubbish. Here I was thinking he's one of the best LLer doctor, thanx for proving me so wrong.. Anyways I was thinking about lengthening my internal femur about 5cm with Dr paley to b on the safe side, I stand at 174cm bt I've been reading some forums abt him and most most of the people are not very sincere as you've been with yours and that scares the   out of me.. I want to know from you if you have heard or seen any successful cases with Dr paley before I move ahead with him cos they say his the best, I don't care about the cost but the result..  Am really rooting for you and praying  for you also cos I feel your pain and please just stay positive.. Cheers

If you have the money, go to Paley. Europe is a big  show right now. Many doctors here are well considered because true stories of their patients aren't public. Their nails are also bull . Please respect all people who get stuck like Unicorn and lose so many years of their lives, together with money, health and love from their dearest ones.

Yeah, I have no money, no recovery and a doctor pursuing me

This is the saddest diary I've ever read. Girls tend to have difficult LL experiences. I can't but pity you and Musicmaker. You've had to endure so many misadventures that I can't help crying when I read about your life. Moral outrage! Sexual abuse by masseurs is a crime, and the lack of support from your SO is quite disappointing. Lack of empathy by strangers towards a patient who is obviously struggling to recover, as displayed by the Uber driver, can't be tolerated and deserve the harshest punishment. I also condemn the doctors because they swept you under the rug while trying to get new customers for their flourishing businesses, showering them in lies. Some people here are right to bash them.

Hi Whatever,

Thanks for your empathy, I promise you, I'm to be blamed because I was vain, didn't do proper research, believed everything at face value even if it didn't make sense, so at the end of the day, I put myself in this situation.  I made my bed and now I've to sleep in it.

Everything else is just a side effect of our society, our fear for uncomfortable situations and our inherent pre-existing issues.  So, it's a harsh true color revelation for me.  At least I'm seeing it all in my 40s and not feel disillusioned at a later stage in life.

I'm praying and praying and praying that a miracle happens and calluses magically appear (at least even a little improvement would spark some hope).  I'm trying my very best to right my life, I didn't get here to be defeated and give up.  As they say, get there or die trying.  I've nothing else to lose.

Sorry for the late reply.  I did Economics from Harvard College (Faculty of Arts and Sciences) and did a minor in art conservation (geeky chemistry stuff involving spectroscopy).

What do you mean by you looking like crap after 3 months post-surgery?  Are you talking posture, duck ass etc?  Or face? 

I'm currently in Asia, and have been sleeping almost 14-17 hours a day, doing a lot of physio and walking in the pool and just reading on my Kindle, by the sea.  It's helped a lot with my psychological stress level and hopefully, my body will relax more.

Still hoping, praying and begging for the bones on my right leg to fuse on its own.  Apparently, sometimes that can happen, spontaneous healing...  well trying to just keep positive vibes going...

This is me right now

Don't blame yourself like that. It wasn't your fault. It's the CLL industry's fault. These greedy doctors take advantage of our insecurities to make money of us. These greedy doctors don't explain in your initial consultation that several complications may arise and you can end up like a cripple for years. It was their duty but they were there for the money so they remained silent. They should Have told you .They should have rejected you as a patient, as well as many others who don't really need this should have been rejected by their doctors. PEOPLE should learn from your experience and other famous failed cases. DO PROPER RESEARCH, DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING AT FACE VALUE. This surgery can ruin your life.

Short update :

Had xrays last week :

RIGHT LEG
Non-union, zero bone growth.  I've done hyperbaric oxygen chamber, forteo injections, Algaecal, John of Brazil healing, tianchi ginseng, daily hour swimming, hourly walking, hot/cold treatments... in vain 

NHS doctor says no choice but to give me a bone graft after Easter, so had a bunch of bloodwork done to see if my pelvic bone can be used with cadaver bone chips.  She said since she doesn't know how long the g-nail's weight bearing feature can last, should my nails and screws break or bend, she's going to shorten me while exchanging to trauma nails.  She also noticed that the bottom screw of my right nail started wiggling (coming loose), hence, I feel bone movements when I cycle (like a nunchuck).  Length about 9.8cm

As a side story, one patient (whom you will not hear from, on this forum) had a screw that was slowly unraveling, almost piercing out of the skin and had to undergo emergency surgery to get it removed.

LEFT LEG
The left leg is fully consolidated at 8cm (after 3 surgeries).  Still looks fragile as the bone bridge is very thin but at least it has fused.  So the great IRONY here is I cannot bear weight on the left leg because my left knee hurts and the pain stretches all the way down the front of my shin.  I've been given some exercises and a lot of painkillers to relieve the pain but nobody knows why it's affecting my left knee so chronically.  I literally crumple if I try standing on my left leg.  Things have definitely gotten worse since December.  The NHS doctor is considering giving me some kind of soft tissue release on my left leg when she grafts my right leg after Easter.

Wish I had more good news to share, but this is my reality.  I'm pleased to announce that some of my classmates who have recovered (the young guys), have successfully removed their nails (not with Guichet).  So their trauma is completely over (takes 18 months) and nobody regrets ever having undertaken this procedure.

As for those discussing about other botched cases concerning Guichet or other CLL doctors, very few victims with complications actually come out and disclose their stories on this forum. 

Most patients suffer in silence, desperately trying to find a solution out of their crippling nightmare and the rest cower in fright of their doctors' threats and blackmails which comprise refusing to remove nails, withholding surgery deposit funds, lawsuits, blackmail of private information they have obtained from our lives like taxes/insurance/careers etc. 

It can spiral quickly to ruthless unscrupulousness when your doctor goes against you.  They will stop at nothing to prevent their failed cases from being exposed here, after all, it affects their bottom lines.  One of their new conditions now when you sign your waivers and agreements pre-surgery (ours were done 5 mins before we were rolled into the operating theatre... giving us 'plenty' of time to read what we were signing) is forbidding posts on any forums.

So, for those of you considering CLL, always imagine the scenario where things go wrong and your doctor is suddenly quick to drop, dismiss and in some cases, denounce you.  So, for your own sakes, please do look beyond the charm and initial sweet sales pitch.
