I know man like i was getting ready to go home in a week
Now my trip got extended another 50 DAMN DAYS
this will break you down

Heh, we might be done around the same time now.

[MyEvolution]

Heh, we might be done around the same time now.

Lmao probably dude, 7 weeks to go!!

[FormerKidd]

Lmao probably dude, 7 weeks to go!!

For me, I calculated 6 weeks at the certain rate, 5 if things improve.

[FormerKidd]

MyEvolution, how much (if any) extra PT are you going to have to buy?  I'm wondering what the rate is these days.

Because of the whole situation i got Paley to give me 7 weeks of FREE PT!!!
So looks like i had to buy none
Weird enough these complications worked out in my favour cause my right leg which needs 2.8cm of lengthening is SUPER loose all the PT’s say theres no way its gonna get tight
And my left which is done lengthening but is tight will get 7 weeks of free PT LOL

Femurs was WAY WAY EASIER DO NOT DO TIBIAS

I don't know if it's the tibias or the fact that I can walk with Stryde (involves a lot more muscles than what we had to do with the older rods), but walking properly is getting tougher the more I lengthen -- and it's a drag, man.  Assuming they don't stop me, I'm not sure I'm gonna want to go all the rest of the way to 5cm.

Femurs with the Precice 2.2 were easier than this; no joke.

How many cm are you at now? Dude no ik exactly what u mean but its not the lengthening
Its weird with femurs i was on a cane in 3-4 wks but tibias took me5-6wks
BUT once you get on the cane your walk strength goes up at a much faster rate than femurs
Like for me 3months out i stopped using my cane but my walk way WAY better than all the other femur patients

The good thing is once u get your walk you wont have a weird duck ass typa walk like femurs cause your glutes werent affected

Hey man its all in the mind its all what u want. I’m at 7cm dude if u want it u can have it but whatever u can tolerate

Bit over 3cm.

I was able to move to cain earlier, maybe after 3-4 weeks?  But recently my walk cycle has been getting worse.

[soitchi]

I actually am thinking of making a documentary style Youtube video to document the jounrney.

Is this still in consideration?

[MyEvolution]

Is this still in consideration?

No
Update: Pain is still really high considering re break and rod exchange, ALOT worse than expected
My knee is in absolute agony
6 weeks of lengthening to go

[snowcloud]

Hi MyEvolution, can I ask why they have to change your nail when re break your bone? thanks

[pickingasurgeon]

Hi MyEvolution, can I ask why they have to change your nail when re break your bone? thanks

They remove the nail to re-break the tibia. The nail is replaced as the old one is no longer useful after removal.

[snowcloud]

Hi pickingasurgeon, thanks for the information

[snowcloud]

Hi MyEvolution, can I ask how much cost you for the re breaking and replace the nail, thanks

[MyEvolution]

Hi MyEvolution, can I ask how much cost you for the re breaking and replace the nail, thanks

It was $20K

Yo guys crazy crazy update
So when i FIRST did LL before femurs i broughr a friend with me
That friend was roughly 5’10 and a half
At 5’4 i told him

Hi evo,

Hope your lengthening is going well. Quick question; I'm a youtuber too and I was wondering if you still made videos during your lengthening or was the pain too much to focus. I'm paying for the surgery the same way.

[MyEvolution]

Update: Past 2 weeks since operation and right leg is still a pain in the arse. Woke up rn in agony just took an oxy
Hopefully this pain goes away soon ive suffered for too long

[Fox]

i wish i had this much money to have this surgery with stryde and go to paley...

you are an inspiration..
i hope one day... i can be like you too..

thanks for everything..

If you obsess over it, you will find a way, riches will find you
Took me 5 years of obsessive focus to make the $$ but have faith keep pushing it will happen

[MyEvolution]

UPDATE:
Just had an xRay and the results are in.. i did it
7.6cm on my left leg 5.5rn on my right slowly catching up
https://imgur.com/a/llhS3gf

I cant believe i was able to hit 7.6cm, no ballerina 15° both legs
I am now 5’11 and super happy with my goal
I cant wait to recover so i can wear lifts and airforces and be at 6’1 OMFG
5 weeks of catching up on my right
Thanks to everyone for the support you guys have been a pivotal part of my journey
I hope this inspires you to strive for what you deserve
I had to fight through many obstacles and the fight isnt over but at least i will keep my 7.6cm

Love u guys

[limewalk]

Nice work mate! I knew you'd make it.

Did they use the old nail or did they use a new nail?

If they used a new nail did the $20k include the cost of a new nail?

good update, keep it up. with this determination your right leg will catch up, no doubt about that.
its crazy that naturally long dudes never really have to go through this hell. nature isnt always fair.
 
but they dont know what its like to be short, and generally saying cheesy things like learn to accept yourself. yea, fk that. you are into sports, me too.. so you should know pain is only temporary. 2 years from now you will thank yourself and love yourself even more, when you return to normal %100.
and some people here saying things like you will never be the same after LL, i really dont believe that. especially if you're a sportsman.
your x-rays look really decent, clean cut bones and you kinda see its been done by the people who know what they're doing.

and please dont become "that guy" looking down on short guys now ....

i'm really happy for you.

Really glad to see you are happy man.  Going from 5'4" to 5'11" is huge and will work wonders for your mental health man, that's awesome. 

If I had the money I would probably do 2 surgeries too so I can just be tall and never think about height again. 

It's gonna be a struggle just saving up for the one surgery and I have a physical job so.  Personally can't wait to be in your shoes and get my surgery and be comfortable with myself.  You're an inspiration. 

[Kal el]

Hi myself ani..brother you are a true inspiration and i am really happy for you and your achievement....just  wanna ask you is it possible to do..7.8CM on tibia's with externals such as LON or LATN..a reply would be very much appreciated THANKS.

[MyEvolution]

They replaced the nail included in the 20k to make sure it works!

Amen, i will always remember where i came fro
Sure naturally tall guys are blessed to be tall but no offense most my tall friends are soooo lazy and have 0 discipline and follow through. Now that i’m taller than the friends i comsidered tall i’m gonna destroy life with my work ethic

My short brothers i will always feel for you. Keep pushing, ITS POSSIBLE

[hello321]

did you keep lengthening your left leg after 7cm?

[farfan21]

yo proud of you bro, ur almost there

[limewalk]

I think they ended up not charging you for something (maybe surgeon fees, maybe the nail). Because $20k seems quite less to basically redo the operation for one leg. It costs over $100k for both legs, so it could have been half that.

[Stepfast]

Osteotomy point is same or they break your tibia on different point?
