I can't piss in those bottles they give you for the life of me, so I had to crutch it to the bathroom again. OUCH. 8/10 this time. They just gave me some morphine so it's soothed it a bit.
They actually give morphine???

Thanks man, I'm trying! It's so hard with such bad sleep! Congrats at almost being an inch taller!
My main complaints are:
1. Pain in my right leg when I stand straight with feet closed. My PT believes this is from me mentally compensating by using my better leg (the left one) since the surgery. So we are gonna address this in PT.
2. Slight numbness on left shin (which hasn't worsened at least)
3. Lack of sleep
4. Appetite ain't that great but I try to force myself to eat.
Im so hoping I can get to 6.5cm the first week of Feb. I think I'm at like 3.2ish cm now. X-rays on Monday will confirm. Nervous!
Quote from: YellowSpike391 on December 14, 2014, 09:29:06 PMOk folks...my big day is tomorrow at 7am. I'm not nervous one bit because I have literally gone through hell this past week after arriving in London. Will discuss more later. I am shooting for around 6.5-7cm (currently 167cm morning/166cm night). I am a Caucasian American male, in my very early 30s.
I did the pre-training in Milano, and achieved an increase of 55% muscle strength over 3.5 weeks (most patients get 25%-35% I am told). Holla.
Wish me luck! 
My friend
I just finised your diary in old forum
What is the criteria that change you form Dr R to Dr G?
I am considering between Dr Paley and Dr G
I am 176.5-177.5want to add 6 cm with Dr G
Sorry if I'm not responding to some specific questions or messages. LL is taking everything I've got. Had my 3 week post op X-rays yesterday and my bone ossification looks good. Waiting for confirmation from Guichet, but I think I'm at around 3.6cm. I believe I'm due to hit 4cm on Monday.
My main problem right now (aside from not getting any sleep) is BAD knee pain on my left knee. This is frustrating as hell because my left leg was previously behaving with no pain. I actually look forward to my twice a day PT, but this knee pain really sucks. They've said its due to a big loss of muscle mass (which I expected would happen), so now we are refocusing on buffing the muscles around that knee back up.
On a positive note, Dr. G and all the PTs say I'm doing great besides this awful pain (that just started 2 days ago), and are all impressed with my flexibility retention given how much I've lengthened already (my PT at Isokinetic today said this is key, so it made me feel better after barely getting through my two sessions off of no sleep).
6.5cm, can you please get here? Like soon? I miss sleep too.
Why not 8 cm? That should be pretty safe in Dr. Guichet's hands.

I gotta get back to work in late Feb/Early March, and 6.5-7cm has always been my mental goal. I already feel taller and dont really feel that short anymore even though I still am lol
Great going man!
Stay strong. I need the inspiration for when it is my time.

Thanks bud. I'm trying. As dedicated as I am to this process (all the PT have admired my attitude and dedication), things like pain and no sleep are out of my control...and its wearing on me. Hopefully, just a few more weeks...
