Possibly, or maybe so many complications she doesn't want to post about it anymore.  I hope not, but this was risky and ill-advised surgery.

I didn’t die .. at least not yet..


I know it has been long time since my last post.. but I was so lazy and every day I find to myself excuse to delay posting ,like ,I’ll post when I’ll do my next x-ray and so on..
As a desert creature I  really think the winter season is for nothing but sleeping.. and it’s bother me a lot that I can’t do that “sleeping” in a right way ! .. well you can’t sleep Very well when you got four monorail devices attached with your legs .. don't do LL  in the winter! It sucks ..I really should have done it in May..!

 Anyway so what is my latest news
Firstly: I reached 11cm (5.5cm in tibia, 5.3in femur), Dr. Rah told me to stop lengthening so I can improve my chance to recover very well in terms of improving the range of motion…
So I did.. I really wanted to stop at 13cm but 11cm is not too bad, and by that I became 163cm-164cm..
Now I’ll list the other bad news that I got
Firstly.. I have a misalignment again in my femur.. Dr rah said it’s just 10% so I don’t have to worry.. but I insist that I want it to be adjusted , so he said he’ll do that after few weeks “ till my bone consolidate little bit..”
Secondly, I have ballerina foot, it’s really funny that I was proud of myself that I don’t have it, but when machine visited me he stated that I do have ballerinafoot..! it was a shock to me …cause when I set my heels still touch the floor....
I was really devastated to know that.. Especially when I confirmed it with my dr “but according to him this problem will start to disappear after I’ll start standing”
Funny thing that I asked my PT if I have ballerinafoot and he said NO I don’t have.. Indian PT know nothing really.!!

I’m so annoyed that I’m not allowed to stand..!  good thing that the frame will be remove after 6 weeks
What else …? I dunno.. seeing shorty doing better than me “in term of mobility and less complications that he has” makes me feel bad about myself…
It is almost 3 months since I did LL.. I really want to walk and stand again.. being in bed for 3 months is something you really don’t want to experience in your life..
But yeah I’m 164cm

Diso, I'm glad to hear you're ok. For a moment it crossed my mind that you had ditched us for good, but good thing you didn't. Now I can hardly wait to hear (read) how your consolidation phase is going to be. Congratulations on your achievemnt --  I think 11cm is more than a very good amount. You say you don't  recommend to do CLL in the winter and rather in May. But my question is I thought the winter (Nov-Feb) in India was better 'cause it ain't that hot and there's less mosquitoes than in the Summer or Spring. What do you think? I mean, I'm still concerned about Malaria. Did you use any creams or repellents? Good luck from here on and please keep us posted and tell Shorty to stop by the forum and drop a line, too.

 Hi Leo

yes there are less mosquitoes in winter ..but if you'll stay in your room for 24 hours, so I don't think you have to worry about mosquitoes
and when you go out u could use mosquito repellent spray ... that's what  I do

That's great to hear that you are doing well Disobedient!

I think we all expected you to have some complications and if what you have now is the worst of it then I would say you have been pretty lucky. 

11cm is an awesome gain!  Can you post some pics when you have time?

Good luck on the rest of your recovery!

this is my last x-ray... note this x-ray has been taken before the operation

It seems your fibula bones are not attached in any way to your tibiae. Has this caused you any problems while lengthening?

Maybe the colour of the picture looks a bit washed-out due to your laptop, but your legs look fine.
