Yeah I had the surgery in the morning, and my leg feels good, so amazing to be frame free at last! But il wait and make an update when i can remove the bandage in a few days. Also il use a crutch for probably 5 days just to be safe. But technically this looong wait of being isolated is finally over!

I can finally tell my friends im "coming home" lol!

Do you think that frames are psychologically and physically easier to cope with during consolidation or is it the same as distraction?

I thought it became significantly easier further into consolidation phase because the legs started to feel less damaged and vulnerable. Eventually the pain went away completely and seeing the x-rays showing solid bone all the way end to end made me feel a lot less scared to walk and move around. My legs also quickly became stronger and looked bigger in this phase which increased my confidence that i was going to heal up just fine. Not having to mess with the screws and stuff anymore is also a great relief.

With all that said, it was still hell for me because even though you can hide Bagirovs frames pretty good under pants, it didnt hide them well enough for me to start seeing my friends, and since the isolation and loneliness is the worst part of LL, and the frames are the source of this, that part was almost as bad obviously during consolidation. Near the end when i could walk almost normal outside i starting taking more walks outside however wearing soft pants to hide the frames.

Awesome you've had your frames removed. It still seems so far away for me considering I can't yet walk around because of the soreness in my legs simply from standing.

Im in Moscow now, at the clinic. Everything went smoothly, 2 hour flight from Sweden, and they picked me up at the airport. The only negative thing was that the traffic is insane here, took about 2 hours to drive to the clinic from the airport i landed on. Supposedly there is another one closer by but i didnt have the option to choose with this time schedule.

The clinic is quite small but feels safe and the personnel are all nice and friendly, very few of them know english though but it was no problem in the end. A translator came and told me how we where gonna proceed, they served me a warm meal and now i can relax and sleep whenever i want, I have my own room with Bed, TV, refrigerator, and the Wifi is pretty good. Toilets are clean and everything looks fresh. No complaints.

Tomorrow I wont be allowed to eat because they are gonna do blood tests and other tests in preparation for the surgery, I will talk to Dr. Bagirov as well and make the payment. Then I will do surgery on saturday and stay about 5 more days, then i will make the decision if i want to stay longer or go home and lengthen. Im leaning on staying a bit longer but since i cant stay for the full lengthening phase anyway because my Visa only lasts until the first of april (my insurance certificate didnt allow for longer), i might stay for ten more days to see if there is any problems, after that i might feel it is safe enough to travel home, then i will come back for a check up in about 2 months.

I took some pics of my room, will upload them soon.

Hi can you please help me?

Where is the clinic at?

My flight is in a weeks' time

They gave me the address but I can't find "Krasnodar street".

Apparently its a city outside of Moscow???

But they say its inside moscow...
