Hello everyone,

Am able to unhide my Diary now.  Have asked Kilokahn to help restore however, he's mentioned that Admin here is MIA.

Can anyone nudge or help me?  Can share what's happened since the last 4 years.

Thank you!

Hi Unicorn. We talked in telegram years ago. You won the case against Guichet right?

On the 6th day of trial before closing statements, in High Court in London, Defence agreed to all our demands:
A substantial sum for Damages + Legal Costs.

Can be read for free on the Daily Mail (but their reporting is far from accurate).

Pictured here is my world class legal team, Solicitor David Turner from OMM Law who believed in me and took on my case on conditional fee agreement, and Barrister & King's Counsel, Richard Baker who is absolutely brilliant and leaves no stone unturned.

I am so thankful to have Judge Anthony Metzer KC, who is intellectually curious to learn everything there is about such an unprecedented case, cosmetic leg lengthening.

And finally, we (several former Guichet patients) owe our lives to Ms Sarah Phillips at the NHS Kings College Hospital for her empathy and 'superhero' skills to repair us when we had no more hope. I use the word superhero because at one point, nobody knew how a 10cm non-union can be fused without shortening me to 0cm, but she MADE IT HAPPEN.

Each time I thought I had hit rock bottom, the rug got pulled out from under me, again and again and again. It would have been easier to simply give up after being crippled for so many years.

As much as I had experienced discrimination and derision, these past years also showed me more kindness and generosity from the most unexpected places and people. Namely the people mentioned above and all of you who had shown support and care throughout these last 8 dark years.

Great to hear! I remember chatting with you a while back on Insta. You're definitely the most resilient patient I've ever known. You gave lots of many valuable insights when myself and some other fellow patients did our lengthening journey. And Unicorn also convinced me to never move to NYC.
