Well, you can get disabled permanently even with a good doctor. I'm sure if you look up Paley's worst case, it would be frightening.

What case are you talking about ????

My life is currently on hold.  I have zero motivation to socialize until I have the operation.  I still go to college and go to work, but other than that I see no point in doing anything else.  The way I see it, it's almost the same as being disabled.   My only way out is LL.  I know its not a magic pill to solve all my problems, but it will give my life purpose.   If I never found out about LL, my life would be like before....accepting all my flaws and working extra hard to gain respect.

It's almost as if I'm done living this life as a short person.  I want to try what it would be like to be taller and compete at a new level.   For me, trying to enjoy life as a short person is like playing the same level of a video game over and over knowing what the result is going to be. 

There is a risk with LL that my life could be drastically worse than what it is right now, but living the rest of my life wondering "what if" and "why didn't I" is like a torturous life sentence.
I'm the type of person that if I were sentenced to jail for 20 years, I would try and find any possible way to beat the system and escape. The consequences are that you can get caught and add more years to your sentence or even get shot and die, but no way I'll sit there and be someone's bitch for the next 20 years knowing that I had the opportunity to escape.(being short feels to me like you are society's bitch)

To answer the original question of "what would I do if I became disabled?", I would do pretty much what programdude said and move to a place where I can lower my standards and compete at that level.

What you said ^ applies to me as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one who cannot enjoy life being short no matter what I do. I'm not saying it is a good thing, I'm just glad I'm not alone out there because sometimes I feel I'm the only one suffering on this forum. Some people here are just vain and aren't literally suffering.

When you're in a wheelchair, nobody can see how tall or short you are.  You're evaluated totally differently by society.  There are times I thought I'd rather be crippled than remain short, making LL an easy decision.


this.

but  I wasn't short by any standard in Singapore.... sigh.. now I am disabled.. zz..

how I feel now?? YES I am tall, but I cant walk much..... the height is pretty much useless.. sitting on a wheelchair nobody sees your height

though I DO WONDER if people think my tibia are long and hence I must be quite tall.. when I am on wheelchair and they eyeball me

a lot of people tend to stare if u sit on wheelchair.
