Hello, anyone has a packing list guide for Limb lengthening LON on tibias?

Bumping this
I am also trying to figure out a packing list for tibias (but for precise tibias)
I attempted a list for tibias in a separate old post (but for precise) but my list might have sucked ass and no one responded
I think those post surgery pants with buttons that let you tear the pants off might be good for LON, not sure (maybe I'm mistaking LON for something else)
I'm not sure whether to bring my VR headset to use to kill time while wearing the calves-stretching braces/night splints
I have a stretcher device (below) that stretches both hamstrings and calves, but I'm not sure if its good to bring for tibias. And for LON I wonder if it will bump into the LON device sticking out
https://www.amazon.com/IdealStretch-Original-Hamstring-Stretching-Device-Instruction/dp/B002WUZTDE/ref=sr_1_5?crid=30W1AD32U3JLP&keywords=hamstring+calves+stretcher&qid=1669055918&sprefix=hamstring+calves+stret%2Caps%2C567&sr=8-5
I am not sure if its worth it to bring a slant board (to stretch calves) for precise or LON, I'm not sure if the leg can handle standing up and putting pressure on the leg like that? I know precise is not weight bearing so that might be a bad idea, not sure how LON works, but it looks like there are some things sticking out of the leg
I think the main thing I regretted forgetting during gnail femurs was soft, loose, warm clothing (jacket, pants, etc)

Make sure your entertainment set-up is solid. Laptop, games, etc. You can use an xbox controller with a PC laptop.

Yeah I nodded as I read this, I also brought my xbox controller to connect to a PC laptop. I ended spending alot of my time in bed with the fanless macbook air though because the desks at Montaza Hotel in Athens are tiny and it was easier to stay in bed
