hi i am pizza.

Is it a good idea to do limb lengthening alone in a foreign country? i have money but don't have any one to stay with me during LL. my parents are old and cannot travel to foreign country with me. They don't want me to do LL but they are not stopping me either.

some problems doing LL alone = boredom, anxiety, who will help me if i have complications, what if my bank suddenly blocks my card, what if i suddenly need to transfer more money from my home country. US is a 15 hour flight for me and if i have problems literally no one will be able to help me. i have a cousin who lives in new york but i can't even take her help because i don't want to mention LL to her.

i think there are extremely low people who do LL alone in foriegn country.  is this true?

if i do LL in home country I should use some old method like ilizarov or be a guinea pig for precice. can someone counsel me pls?

Most people do LL with a family member near them. If you visit a doctor for consultation you will usually see existing patients with a family member during follow ups. I could be wrong though.

If you are mentally strong and have access to safety funds you should be alright even in USA with stryde nail. One problem though is that many top doctors are unavailable to have a consult with you if you suddenly need attention. you may have to go to the ER if something terrible goes wrong and disclose that you have done CLL.

If you wanna have Stryde in Greece beginning of next year. We can share the room and help each other. I'm also alone.

thank u but I would rather go for US for this surgery. i don't know much about giotikas.

its hard to make plans with another LLer stranger because what if you cancel the surgery last minute due to fear? i have myself wanted to not do LL a few times in the past because it seems a bit extreme.

ideally we should be independent and go with family. making friends along the way can be a good bonus

There is a trick for commitment, book an airbnb 2 months, and have him book the other two months immediately after.
Both of you are financial committed, makes it harder to drop plans.

How are two temporary-disabled people supposed to help each other?

Twice the endurance lol
one can open the door, the other the fridge.
And also you guys can keep each other motivated.

You can't do alone, you need at least hired help, but I recommend relative/friend, at least for 3 weeks.

I did LL alone in foreign country (1,5 hour with plane).

I planned everything but after 5-6 days I missed home so much that i cancelled my plans for stay and took plane home.
Lengthening at home was so much more comfortable. best decision ever
