This will be the location of my diary where I'll record my experiences with Dr. Tim O'Carrigan. He studied under the GOAT, Dr. Paley.
Starting age: 28
Starting height: 170cm, aka 5'7".
Targeted height: 5'10.5"
Planned approach: 1.5" lengthening of tibias followed up by 2" lengthening of femurs 2 years later.
Dr. O'Carrigan offers external fixators, the precice nail and the stryde full weight bearing nail. I am aiming to use the stryde nail.
Context:
I am a software engineer, reasonably successful in a very niche area of software development with high job security and steadily increasing salary. I am extremely interested in economics, politics, philosophy and law. I am highly motivated and ambitious. Typical highly motivated short Napoleon type of guy wanting to do great things.
I wrote a very demanding, niche private software project from scratch starting around 17 years of age while attending university. That demanding software project attracted attention to me and I got my first job at 25, starting at AUD 60k/yr. Within 3 years I had got 2 promotions and was earning AUD 80k/yr at that job.
During those same 3 years I also read all of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations from cover to cover, followed by several other books on econ, philosophy, etc and I have decided to move out of software and into politics later on in life, perhaps in my late 30s - all while also improving my dayjob skills and also undertaking new private projects.
At my current job I earn low 6 figures in AUD at a company in the top 5 of the Forbes list and am well adjusted, confident and able to strike up a conversation easily with anyone and so on.
I started off in a 3rd world country, and worked hard and continue to work hard to improve myself and to be able to move into politics so I can go back to the 3rd world and fix my own country's politics and break the cycle of dysfunctional politics.
Reasons for undergoing LL:
I don't have problems with my height. Other people have problems with my height. Unfortunately, people don't take short politicians seriously, and I don't have the time to let all of this reading and studying and planning that I've done, go down the drain.
I am tired of the 3rd world being left behind because of incompetent politicians. It is about time that corruption and religious nonsense get expunged from 3rd world politics so people in the 3rd world can live modern lives and have freedom and prosperity.
My relationship status:
I am single and intend to remain single for a very long time since I don't have the time to accomodate another person in my life. A lot of people want LL to get girls or something. I'm not interested in that: I want LL for respect, so that other people can get past my height and look at my achievements and take me seriously.
