Yellowspike - Dr. Guichet, Internal Femurs, Late 2014

Edit Post

Had my first official pool session today. Walking in the shallow end was hard to stay balanced, and painful for my right ankle. My right leg remains my "evil" leg. The pool session seems to have helped the pain on my right hip/glute area, but when I stand up straight with my feet closed together, my right ITB (which has a slight contacture) is very tight. This is my main concern at the moment.

I've noticed that most of the other pains keep changing, so I don't worry about them as much. We will see what Dr G has to say.

Do you wish to keep your current location and surgery location private (London or Milan)? I couldn't tell if you missed my questions or chose to keep it private.

I wonder why it's hurting you so much. Hope you end up ok, man.

Just read all your diary in a row and I must say that i will definitely go for Dr G. I can more a less relate to you. At 18 years old I'm 5'5 (1,65) and aim for 6,5cm in femurs! The worst part is that I still have to whait some years until I do this

I'm just curious on 3 things, that would mean the world to me if you could reply:   
   
First of all when it comes to thw money spent you think 55k€ would be enough for the operating, pills and the isokinetic center? (i kinda have relatives there that would help with the acommodation)

Second of all you said you go to a Isokinetic center, but how do you get there? Public transportations? Taxi? Can u axtually walk more a less?

Finally this is me http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=beae9b0
3 picture the best?

Good luck and aim for the 6,5cm in femurs! You will look very well and you are only some weeks from the end. How I envue in a good way.  Congratz!!!

Thanks RRB. It's all part of the process. LL is not fun and not kind to your body. Even if you go with a top tier doctor like Guichet or Paley.

I'm fairly confident this will all resolve in time. I'm done clicking in about 2/2.5 weeks. Should put me between 6.2-6.5cm, factoring in probably slowing down clicks again next week (.8mm a day to .66mm per day)

As of my Monday afternoon X-rays, I am 5cm taller!! I'm so happy to be 5 days ahead of my click schedule (Guichets click file didn't have me hitting 5cm until Friday). I guess all the hospital and accidental clicks pushed me ahead.

.5 inches/1.5 mutha f'in cm to go!!!! Thank the Lord because my body is fighting me and I am so tired...I can see the mountain top....

I needed this good news so badly because today was so hard for me. I'm so exhausted from the lack of sleep and PT, being alone in a foreign country etc...so to know the days are numbered (and that I may not have to click at home!) is amazing. And I know Guichet is gonna slow clicks again probably next week, so that extra 5 day buffer is majorly welcome!

Hey Yellowspike,

congratulations to the 5 cm! I'm also planning a lengthening with Dr Guichet, but the costs are very important for me. I've heard, that the prices are higher now Could you tell me/us your costs pls? Thank you very much!
