At this stage not too interested in pics, but when my postures good and legs have some meat back on them I might.

I am doing really well with everything but duck ass. Cant weight bear till I take x rays to confirm consolidation, but getting around is easy.

And yes I did 8 cm in under 3 months.

hey

already asked in therisingshortys thread:

did you personally experience any kind of hair loss due to surgery / medication?

programdude · « **Reply #220 on:** November 17, 2014, 08:34:41 PM »

None at all for me

Would you say that your leg to torso/tibia proportions are pretty similar to these? How is your walking at this point?

programdude · « **Reply #222 on:** November 18, 2014, 02:45:06 AM »

Roughly maybe

Walking is hard to say since I am on walker/crutches.

goodlucktomylegs · « **Reply #223 on:** November 23, 2014, 02:47:23 PM »

Hey programdude .Is it possible if i went with wheelchair for go to english school where is far from hospital 4.3 miles on my own everyday?
And How have you been?
off crutches now?

programdude · « **Reply #224 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:33:10 PM »

No I still need x ray, I will schedule one soon.

The biggest factor to attending school would be the building itself, and if it is handicap friendly. Wheelchair seems a pain, I would just use a walker.

goodlucktomylegs · « **Reply #225 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:52:57 PM »

About your bone alignment. I think this technique make degree as the same as before ll?
Am i right?

programdude · « **Reply #226 on:** November 25, 2014, 11:53:23 PM »

Yes my alignment is good.

Also worth noting the screw scars, as well as my osectomy site scars are almost totally faded.

When does Dr. Paley say that you should be walking? He claims that he usually gets his patients back on their feet again in five months.

programdude · « **Reply #228 on:** November 26, 2014, 12:42:41 AM »

That sounds pretty accurate. I am getting close to 5 months post op now having done the full 8, and could definitely walk if I were consolidated. I feel very strong.

I have been delaying x rays since I want to be definitively consolidated when I get them taken, not have to go back repeatedly- But I will be scheduling soon.

ReadRothbard · « **Reply #229 on:** November 26, 2014, 12:54:53 AM »

I'm sorry, I meant four months. If you did it in July, then it would've four months post op.

programdude · « **Reply #230 on:** November 26, 2014, 02:18:41 AM »

Thats correct for someone doing 5 or so CM, unless you have quick consolidation seems a little bit quick for 8 CM, but its possible, sure.

goodlucktomylegs · « **Reply #231 on:** December 05, 2014, 01:59:48 PM »

Now you can walk unaided?

programdude · « **Reply #232 on:** December 05, 2014, 07:02:27 PM »

I am waiting for feedback about my x rays I just took. Hoping to hear I can lose the crutches

programdude · « **Reply #233 on:** December 12, 2014, 01:06:15 AM »

Paley has my x rays but still have not heard back anything.

This is a it frustrating, particularly because my left legs pain at the base which Paley recently said was "ts the point of stress, where the rod ends. not uncommon. most people feel it when they run. goes away and especially after rod removal. "

The one thing that concerns me is that if anything it seems to be getting worse, and is mainly a problem when lying down and lifting it as opposed to standing or walking. And not present in my right leg which feels totally 100% like a normal leg.

programdude · « **Reply #234 on:** December 12, 2014, 01:44:23 AM »

Its probably nothing related to bone btw, it seems to improve with hard stretching, so likely a muscle issue since it happens with movement. Still want to be walking normally so I can better use an stretch the muscle.

programdude · « **Reply #235 on:** December 12, 2014, 04:21:46 AM »

Sure enough, as soon as I write that I hear back my right leg is 100% healed! My left nearly fully healed(and these x rays were taken over a week ago). I was informed I could begin walking with one crutch, and I have begun doing so. Feels good to slowly be working back to normal walking.

Plzen · « **Reply #236 on:** December 12, 2014, 05:39:35 PM »

It would have been better if both legs were 100% healed. I guess it is still partial good news that your one leg is 100% healed. Just give it some more time. Hopefully the other leg will all heal soon.
So how are you feeling in general? Are you working yet? Going to Gym/grocery store/mall? How is your life (in general) now compared to when you were lengthening? Are you having any pain that requires pain medications?

programdude · « **Reply #237 on:** December 12, 2014, 06:00:09 PM »

My comfort is incomparably better to the lengthening phase. I sleep soundly, can go out on crutches to the gym, drive, dine out, comfortably have women over. My only complaint now is boredom and the pain in my left leg, but that is very mild compared to the discomforts of the process, and I suspect will go away when the left is healed or after serious stretching. Certainly nothing even close to even thinking about pain meds.

I'm not going to grocery stores or malls because A. I know people and want to remain incognito currently and B. I can't conveniently carry items. I do drive there and have someone run in for me though.

My right is very much healed and feels totally normal in its movements. I can balance on just it fine. I've learned to walk with one crutch as Paley instructed quickly and it feels much more like natural walking.

programdude · « **Reply #238 on:** December 15, 2014, 03:27:25 AM »

Had my first (right) leg workout today. Very good strength considering. 100 pound one legged leg press, 50 pound leg extension, and hamstring curls/calf work. Felt very natural, and great to be getting back to fitness.

programdude · « **Reply #240 on:** December 15, 2014, 07:52:36 AM »

no, it is only my right leg that is fully healed

programdude · « **Reply #241 on:** December 25, 2014, 01:19:13 PM »

Quick update. Things are going well. Told my mom and she was sad but I am seeing her today.

Had sex last night including doggystyle(which between the fumbling for the position and condom wasn't the best position) but it was relieving to see how even with one not fully healed leg how achievable it was. The positioning was actually drastically improved with longer femurs too, though obviously this depends on the girl(though in the past I often noted how ideal longer femurs would be).

Really can't wait to heal and be able to do it smoothly.

Plzen · « **Reply #242 on:** December 25, 2014, 04:20:24 PM »

congratulation. I hope you will keep improving further.
When is your next x-ray scheduled? How is walking with one walker?

programdude · « **Reply #243 on:** December 25, 2014, 11:20:48 PM »

I am moving better with one crutch and move very fast with two- having one leg healed makes it so much easier.

My x ray I will probably take in a week and a half.

programdude · « **Reply #244 on:** December 27, 2014, 05:43:25 AM »

Told my mom about the surgery since I was going to be missing x mas without explanation, and honestly I think she'd notice anyways.

Cried when I told her on phone briefly, saying she wished she could talk me out of it, but then calmed down, and when she saw me in person said she thought she would freak out when she saw me but didn't.

Met with my dad but didn't tell him, though he noticed I was taller.

programdude · « **Reply #245 on:** January 23, 2015, 12:59:04 PM »

Posted this elsewhere, but gonna post it here:

Left leg has a pain in it towards the bottom, seemingly in the muscle above the knee(lower front quad). This seems to be only a problem when activating the muscle usually 1. Raising leg up straight 2. When walking(just approved for full weight bearing on both legs), specifically right after using the left leg(standing not an issue) 3. Getting into position for doggystyle etc.

The pain is pretty much the only thing prevent me from saying I am mostly recovered, since with it walking is difficult. Unfortunately I can't see Dr. Paley for his opinion unless I got back to FL, which I can't really accommodate for right now.

Really hope to see that resolved. It is the one thing hindering me from a total recovery.

Uppland · « **Reply #246 on:** January 23, 2015, 01:41:20 PM »

Sorry to hear that, can't you get another doctors opinion?

programdude · « **Reply #247 on:** January 23, 2015, 05:14:50 PM »

Im sure I could, but realistically my PMC, while a cool guy, would be a bit belwidered about what the problem could be. LL is a crazy thing after all.
