Quote from: Slim_tim on August 14, 2014, 05:59:27 PMDo you think weed would have made it better during your stay?. Im not talking 24/7 smoking sessions here. Just generall "ok" i'vem done the psyo, the food, the general routine. Now i can relax with a joint and watch a series or what have you. Or maybe you had no time or effort to conduct in such activities. Because as you know time goes twice as fast when you are high. I might look into that and bring with me some green to keep me sain and possibly share it with some other LL's at the hospital.
One thing though, im not sure smoking weed prior to having a surgery is recommended, now i didnt have narcosis (only local anesthesia) so it might not affect that any, but i think if you are a heavy weed smoker and have THC in high ammounts in your system it could affect the narcosis for the surgery, not 100% sure though. best to be safe and avoid it imo.
But yeah, i have tried weed before a few times, but for me it has been a hit or miss in terms of how it made me feel. Some times it made me feel good and relaxed and like you said i lost count of time. But other times it has made me depressed and kind of amplified my thoughts about sad events in my life..it made me focus on those things and enhance the negative feeling, so i was down for like several hours..
So i never considered using any of that during my LL, it was out of my reach anyway, the only dealers i know are some of my friends and i didnt want to reveal LL for them obviously.
I was never an experienced smoker so to speak, i have never tried regular cigarettes for example. Maybe you could handle it better but i dont even know how it would affect bone healing, maybe not at all but who knows.
Wannabegiants tibial lengthening in Moscow, Dr. Bagirov
I know you've said that you feel that LL has improved your proportions, which is awesome. But, how much do you think it has affected your proportions? As in, how noticeable is the change when looking at both your overall profile and, also, when looking just at you tibias?

I mean mainly when looking at my whole body, both in underwear and with all types of clothes, i had such long arms and wide shoulders, that i looked kind of weird in some clothes before LL (my wingspan must have been a lot longer than my height), but now it looks more balanced.
it also doesnt look unnatural at all when looking at just the tibias either, honestly looking at them now it would seem almost weird if they where 4.3 cm shorter which they where originally. They have retained their thickness too, but i never trained my calves, so when i start doing that in the gym i bet it will look even better. My Femurs are still substantially longer than my tibias.
Wannabegiant, How are you doing and when will you have your next X-ray taken?

Hey man, im doing perfectly fine physically, i feel like i have recovered a lot and have great mobility and full range of motion. Legs feel light and agile, walking is easy.
But mentally i feel so fkin bored, and im so restless, i want to get on with my life as soon as possible..But the depression is almost over because i feel like almost all the risk is over and i can clearly see the path to happiness is within my reach without any big obstacles left.
I will take x-rays this week and if im lucky i might get both frames removed sometime this month.

How can you be bored though?
Isn't there like 4 months of lengthening then you go home and recover. But you can go outside with crutches or take a little walk being 7+ cm taller with shoes on that. I'd be in heaven every day. Depression would instantly go away. I dont get it..

Im bored because im avoiding going outside as much as i can, since i didnt want anybody who knew me to see me with crutches and walking like im injured, also the frames are quite hard to hide 100%. I dont want anybody i know to find out, and when they see me taller, if they had seen me with injured legs earlier they might figure it out you know.
i only take walks basically late in the evening, and those trips to the hospital for x-rays etc.
I also cannot work out because it might slow down consolidation, and i cannot socialise with my friends..i cant get on with my life until this is done and it is so frustrating.

I dont really feel any muscle weakness even though my quads are still visibly smaller than before, i have to work on that a lot as soon as im able to
