Hello @shortIsNotFun thanks for your update so far please keep them coming, do you think it's possible to work remotely as a programmer while lengthening? Can you focus and do your job ?  How's does it feel after 3 weeks of the surgery.

Possibly. Depends on the individual. Hasn't even been 3 weeks since surgery.

I keep waking up at 3AM at night because of pain. I woke up today due to heel pain. I can't go to sleep. May need sleeping pills.

Got my bandages changed again and had physiotherapy. Fatma is really nice and cares so much about her patients, you can tell. Also, the nurses care a lot as well. I haven't touched the walker since yesterday and prolly will never again.

[shortisnotfun]

I don't have an issue with falling asleep tbh. Around 10PM my eyes get so heavy that it's pretty much impossible for me to stay awake. What I have an issue with is staying asleep. I've noticed I wake up around 3AM every single day with pain. It's not terrible pain, but enough to keep you awake. The physiotherapists said the bones are healing around that time, and that's why you feel pain.

So, what are your estimates on the overall price for this? How much have you already spent on hotels+the procedure? Keep up the grind, bro, wish you all the luck!

It'll probably be around $25000 USD after all is done.

If i may ask how do you know about this doctor I don’t read alot of diary about him

Hope he’s a good one , also i see that the max he length to his patients is 8 cm
Buldo can length more than 9 he’s crazy


That’s why I kinda feel some trust about this doctor
8 cm is a safe limit

I don't shill doctors. Do your own research and if you feel comfortable then fine.

You really can’t shower while doing LON method? Absolute madness

I apologize, you actually can shower, they just want your osteotomy scars to heal up first (takes three weeks). They give you a type of bag that you put around your tibias and they keep your tibias waterproof. I haven't done it, because I'm scared.

[shortisnotfun]

I'm able to walk with just one crutch now. I feel that I walk with one crutch better than I do with two crutches.

 Also, I tried walking unassisted as well by myself like 20 steps. I can do it. It's exhausting but I can do it.

[Kanye Western]

That's crazy. You haven't showered for over 3 weeks?

You're very strong, you still going to stop at 5cm?

Yeah, I'm going to stop at 5cm. I sound strong but I'm really fking tired of the pain now lol and counting the days till it's over.

Il be doing this surgery towards the end of February with dr yuksel, if anyone else reading this forum is planning on getting this surgery done from this dr pls private message me. It will be a lot easier doing this surgery with someone who’s going through the same thing.

I experience literally the samething. Yesterday I woke up around 3am but didn't force myself to go back to sleep. I went back to sleeping around 6am and woke up around 9am. Somedays I manage to sleep straight 6h though.

Are you going to do the femurs as well? Because femurs are easier to strech maybe you might not feel so much pain.

I hope the femurs are easier to stretch! Cause the physiotherapist here fking kills me and makes me cry when she bends my ankles!

Also,
I've been able to walk unassisted about 100 steps. I'm transitioning off the crutches to walking unassisted. Let's see how it goes.

[shortisnotfun]

I have a lot of pain when bending my right knee and my right knee is so stiff as well. Most of my pain comes that portion of my body but my physiotherapist says not to bend knees in order to avoid ballerina foot

[shortisnotfun]

I walk without crutches really well.

I thought the same prior to surgery but you can clean yourself with wet wipes perfectly they dont allow any bacteria buildup. It's been almost 1.5 months for me and I don't feel dirty at all. I think showering is unnecessary risk for LON

Hello hope everything is okay with u keep updating

I'm okay, days are getting monotonous so. Just recovering, physio, and eating.

How is your callus/bone developing?

also, i hope you're not lengthening more than 1 mm/ day.

i say you can even slow down towards the end to make sure there's minimal nerve irritation

I am not lengthening faster than 1mm/day. In fact, I have been told I can slow down whenever I like. I will slow down as tightness is really strong right now.

My pinsites hurt the most at night. Literally feels like knives poking slowly at your skin. I would definitely recommend internal tibia just to get away from pin site pain.

What do you eat ? Can you order healthy food or is it mainly fast food on the apps ? Also do you need a turkish number to order food ?

There’s healthy food too but it takes time to figure out which one is healthy. is a little bit more expensive. 85% is fast food rich in türkiye flavour (chilly curry paprika).

you need a turkish number to order but they can help you to set the app with someone else’s number so you don’t have to buy a sim card.

Good luck bro with everything. I’d seen you on here it and I’m glad you went through with it. As someone who finished this and is pretty much recovered and now getting back to athletic activities I can assure you it’s worth it. Life truly is so much better and you forget the time spent in hell doing this.

you're doing LATN right?
lengthening and then nailing?

Hey! Thanks man. Nice to see your progress as well.
And you're right, it truly is hell. Nothing can prepare you for it, lol.

Yup!

How much worse was it compared to what you expected?
