Is it 8:50 evening too? Did you sleep for over 24 hr?
by the way congrats you finished your 2nd operation without issue :)

The Google translation is wrong, I just stayed in the observation room for more than half an hour before being pushed back to the ward, and did not sleep for 24 hours!

And it was written on my second operation that I didn't sleep more than 2 hours a night, so it caused a very emotional breakdown!

I searched but couldnt find it. can you copy paste the response?


Two years ago, my first choice was that both femur and tibia were S. as a result, the doctor saw my X-ray film and said that the bone cavity of my lower leg was thin and probably could not put the smallest size of S. therefore, the doctor gave me the suggestion of femur S + tibia P. during the operation, in order to prepare s and P suitable for the specification of my lower leg, if the tibia can be put down s according to the actual situation, give priority to my lower leg with S, If you can't put it in, use P.

Later, I was delayed for nearly two years because of the epidemic situation, visa, s recall and P retrial

Without s, the doctor agreed that I use p for both tibia and femur. Before, he suggested that I use p for tibia and s for femur.

I don't know much about the G needle you said. I know that the pain of G is greater than P, and I feel that I can't complete it well, so I choose P. And I'm light.

Hi, I come from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Nice to meet you. I have followed you on tieba before, and I have made an appointment for P needle operation in June 2022. I would like to ask you how to handle our entry visa then? What else do we need to prepare after Greece sends us the invitation letter?

HI, I am also a Chinese, and I have a few questions that I want to consult
(1) For P Nail, do I have to use a wheelchair during the extended period, or can I just use crutches or walkers?
(2) Being alone, how do you solve your meal, toilet, and bath problems?

你拿到医院的邀请函,要不找中介代办签证,要不自己办理。
自己办理可以先给你们当地的签证中心打电话,她会让你你上网站看你需要的材料,你准备好相关材料,预约交资料时间,去交资料、打指纹、缴费……等待.

中国人,我就中文回复了,毕竟谷歌翻译有时候不能传达精确。
1 是的长期轮椅,短距离可以用助行器(比如几米去厕所)
2 这个就看个人的自理能力了;我没问题(我双段P),我住酒店,有酒店管家,有司机。
   但我了解到了的世界范围内很多做P的人不管是单段还是双断都需要有人照顾。

Before I did yesterday, I could only fall asleep for about 2 hours for 4 consecutive nights, and people would collapse...
People are sleepy, and the swelling of the thighs causes no one to catch it!

I went to ask Dr. G, and finally solved this problem: adjusting the medicine + stretching exercise (taught by the rehabilitation teacher).
I finally got a good night's sleep last night, because my thighs have to be extended four times a day, so I need to get up at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night to extend my thighs. I woke up last night and fell asleep happily and happily.

After thigh surgery, I always wash my hair in the hairdressing salon, and after I don’t have to wear elastic stockings for two weeks after I am discharged from the hospital, I will consider whether to resume washing my hair. Going to the salon is so easy and comfortable, hahahaha, the price is not expensive, less than 20 euros.



In addition, this ice cream is delicious. I love dark chocolate the most, but I still can’t accept the desserts here. They are too sweet.

Today was the first time I walked on an anti-gravity treadmill after thigh surgery. I needed the help of a physical therapist to jump on the treadmill. When I only had my calf, I could jump on it myself.


Today I was hurt by the physical therapist. When it hurts, I laughed wildly! What's wrong with me? I do not know either!

Happy to receive New Year gifts from Greek friends.


I wish all my friends a happy new year in advance.

决定手术就先约手术(多久排上不好说,看当时情况吧),定好日期,准备材料去办理签证。
签证你办理的时候问下你去的签证中心,时刻都在变化,我也说不准,我当时提前一个月提交的材料,交材料的时候问了收材料的工作人员,她说正常在我出发前的3天左右会出签,果不其然离我出发只剩3天了,才打电话通知我签证出来了。

还有额外说一下,我知道的好几个腿友在北京使馆被签证官劝退了,但凡是做手术的,北京使馆都会让你来面签。如果女生158左右往上,男生168左右往上,大概率会被劝退,疫情的关系,你不是特别矮就会劝退。

1月中有个腿友会来,已经拿到签证,她属于广州使馆,广州不需要面签。

另一个腿友在土耳其呆3周了,他呆两个月可以办理土耳其居住证,然后用这个办理希腊签证,他因为身高之前被北京使馆签证官劝退的。

Hello, I don't think there is any difference, it may be because the material is titanium.

I laugh when I’m in pain too! I’m not sure why I laugh either… Maybe it just sounds a bit better than screaming

Today I went to the police station to apply for a visa extension.
The same as the last time the visa extension was granted is still 45 days.
I guess I have to do it once when I look back.
32 Euros in cash were paid to the public sector.

The morning full of coffee aroma :P


I came to the rehabilitation center to do Pt for the first time in three days. I dropped my mother. It was painful to be repaired by a physical therapist today! I'm screaming in pain!
I love and fear the physical therapist Aliki, I love more...
At present, it is very painful for me to turn over.


Yesterday, two weeks have passed since the day I was discharged from the thigh surgery. Hahaha I took off the compression stockings on my legs for the first time and lost it, feeling relaxed. I washed my hair and took a shower myself, and I came back to life.

After the physiotherapy, my driver took me to a shop with great chocolates.


 I bought new year gifts for my friends, and the clerk also gave me a small bag of gifts to wish me a happy and happy new year.


 ;) Once again, I wish all my friends a happy new year.

 :) Yesterday was review day. I was very busy, so I came to update it today.


Yesterday, after I finished Pt in the rehabilitation center, the driver came to pick me up and rushed to the hospital immediately. After I finished Pt, I was only half an hour away from the doctor's appointment, which was just enough to go to the hospital.

Who knew that the elevator in the rehabilitation center broke down. My driver carried me down from the third floor (fortunately, I was lighter). The rehabilitation division helped me take me off the driver's back and put me on the co pilot. Then I moved my electric wheelchair down from the third floor. It's really hard for them. Thank you.

After reporting to the hospital, I went to take an X-ray film and took a meal from all angles. The younger brother was very gentle. I waited two minutes and got the X-ray disc.


After that, I came to the doctor's door to wait. Today's reexamination was Dr. g. he showed me in the computer. He just took an X-ray today, and everything was normal.
I was told to eat 2500 calories a day.
Let me change the extension of tibia to twice a day in the next 2 weeks.
The doctor told me to walk with a walker for 30-45 minutes every day.
Dr. g asked me to extend it from there. I said right. Dr. g asked whether it was always right? I said yes, Dr. g asked me to start from the right and the left one day, alternating in this way.

Then I asked Dr. g some questions I sorted out:
1 the P model used for my tibia is 8.5mm,
  The P model used for the femur is 10.7 mm.
2 the weight of four P in my body is one kilogram + 200 grams.

After the review, my driver came to pick me up and went back to the hotel. Ha ha, there was an ice cream shop I liked on the way. The driver went to buy it for me. I also wanted to take a large package back to the hotel and put it in the refrigerator. My husband will come in a few days. I want to stay in the hotel with him and share my love of ice cream.


Go back to the hotel to have dinner, wash your hair and take a bath, do stretching exercises and extend...... the busy day is over.

On the review day on January 5th, Dr. G emphasized that I should eat 2,500 calories a day. After I returned to the hotel, I consciously let myself eat more, and then I vomited. After I threw up, I started to lose my appetite. I felt nauseous, very uncomfortable.

A few days later, my husband came to Greece last weekend and started to make me all kinds of appetizers. I vomited from the beginning, and it was not until yesterday that I was able to eat without nausea and after eating. After my husband came, everything is better, and I feel better.


If I had another chance, I would choose to do only the tibia first, and then do the femur when I recover from the needle removal.
It's really painful to do the tibia and femur at the same time every 3 weeks. When I only did the tibia, my condition was really good and easy.
In addition, I think it is very necessary to have a family member (boyfriend, friend, husband and wife, parents...), this operation is not only the pain of surgery and PT, but also more details of life are also a big test.

I've been in good shape for the past week, but doing PT is quite painful for me at the moment, screaming and laughing in pain.
This male physical therapist teases me every time and makes every pt always so much fun.


I wear these shoes to bed at night, but after a long time I will unconsciously take them off in my sleep, because it is uncomfortable to wear them for a long time. I also need to get up in the middle of the night to extend the femur, and I will play with this shoe again, but I will unconsciously take it off after a long time of sleep, so when I can lie down during the day, I will try my best to do it. Wear this shoe more.


When I have severe insomnia, I will take this melatonin, but I can't take this melatonin for more than a month, I only take it occasionally.


I have bought a lot of cake shops, I like this one the most, and I bought it again to share with my husband and friends.
The clerk gave me a small bag of chocolates as a gift. I asked the driver if this store gave me a gift every time? The driver said because the clerk remembered me.

 :) By the way, starting today, I found that it became easier for me to turn over.
