No xr's, Ouroboros. I'm still at the starting point of my journey & dithering/reflecting/deciding just now.
Anterior superior iliac spine to medial malleolus = 82cms = L.
Anterior superior iliac spine to medial joint line of the knee = 46cms = F.
Medial joint line of the knee to medial malleolus = 36cms = T.
F/L x100 = (46/82) x 100 = 56 = FL
T/L x100 = (36/82) x 100 = 44 = TL
FL:TL = 56/44 so, yes this short man man does have short shins...
Anyway, I can tell by looking at them that they look short. This is my neurosis & no tape measure will sort it. Nor will xr's & the needless Ionising radiation zapping my pelvis/prostate/gonads/rectum...
I could retire anytime within the next 2 yrs with reasonable annual pension + lump sum & not have to work. So time off work/financing not a show-stopper. Q: do I (a) buy a £60,000 Jaguar XJ saloon? Or do I (b) buy half a 1BR flat in the Algrave, or (c) add some height & hopefully piece of mind? IDK yet but I'm working through it with people who have walked the same path & everyone's advice is welcome, either way. Thing is, I couldn't give a toss about a fancy car, or a holiday home but I really hate being a short man with short shins...
So far, I'm only considering Mr/Dr Guichet - are French surgeons called Mr, like in the UK, or Dr? Anyway, Marseilles is close to the UK. His int nail is cool. I fancy my chances of a positive outcome in the French healthcare system over the NHS any day of the week wether at weekends or not & I've worked in the NHS since 1984 so that is a considered judgement.
