I had an operation today. I entered the operating room at a

:)round 8 o'clock and returned to the ward around 2 o'clock. I haven't felt any pain yet, and the doctor told me to start doing some simple stretches to aid recovery. I got a lot of help because of the forum, so I can answer your questions without compromising privacy.

Dear Sir, I hope everything goes well.

How much did you choose to length?

On the femur?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21, 2022, 04:49:29 PM »

I only asked for five centimeters, if all goes well, I may extend to five and a half centimeters.

Good luck! Keep us updated.

How old are you and what is your starting height?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #4 on:** July 22, 2022, 06:59:28 AM »

I'm almost 40 years old and my initial height is 170cm.

Destiny666 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 22, 2022, 07:02:21 AM »

Today I started to practice standing and moving and I have to say it's a lot of work and I have to put most of my weight on my hands. After ten steps with the walker I was sweating profusely and had to stop to rest.

It's only your first day after surgery. It will get easier.

How is the pain? What meds have they given you to manage pain?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 23, 2022, 04:03:36 AM »

I didn't feel any pain. I don't have any oral medication for the time being except the infusion, they gave me oral painkillers, but I didn't use them.

Bagga · « **Reply #8 on:** July 23, 2022, 06:06:28 AM »

jus take the medication they gave
There is blood thinner, not all pain killer.

Destiny666 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2022, 07:38:29 AM »

:)I tried going up and down the stairs today, it was really physical work. I was transferred to the new single ward which I have to say is definitely VIP level, unfortunately I will be discharged tomorrow and will only be here for a day.

Where are you staying in Athens once you're discharged from the hospital? Will you be far from the PT place?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2022, 12:08:37 PM »

Next I temporarily stayed at the Athens Avenue Hotel. It's about a 20-minute taxi ride from where I do my rehab

How come you didn't choose to go with Montaza?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2022, 11:05:20 AM »

Because that hotel has no vacancies

thankscience · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2022, 05:00:41 AM »

That makes sense. Is it cheaper than Montaza?

How is your walking today?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 25, 2022, 07:25:01 AM »

No, it is more expensive, about 75 euros a day. I didn't feel any pain today, I was walking according to the doctor's request, and tomorrow I will officially start the rehabilitation training.

Destiny666 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2022, 11:47:37 AM »

I came to physiotherapy today and saw a lot of friends. It seems that all races are obsessed with height. Stretching makes me feel sore. Using various instruments has different feelings, in general I quite like these feelings

thankscience · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2022, 12:24:27 AM »

How many people are currently lengthening with Dr G?

Also have you started the lengthening process yet?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2022, 01:09:49 PM »

I don't know, I just trained there for an hour and saw maybe five or six. I have already started to click today, and it feels really sour. Fortunately, with the assistance of the staff, the first click was successfully completed!

thankscience · « **Reply #19 on:** July 28, 2022, 06:07:36 AM »

Are the other patients having trouble with clicks on the G-nail too?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 28, 2022, 02:29:57 PM »

Some patients used to have it, but now the patients have basically mastered it. Today, I met many friends and joined their group. I am really happy.

thankscience · « **Reply #21 on:** July 30, 2022, 12:18:51 AM »

I'm glad to hear you've made friends there

What is the clicking technique like? Do you need assistance with clicking?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 30, 2022, 04:57:36 AM »

Today is the first day of my own click. I originally thought I didn't need assistance, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to click. I found a lot of different angles to click to complete. I think my muscles are a little strained

Will955 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 30, 2022, 08:56:05 PM »

It sounds like you have a great attitude towards this whole thing. Keep it up, man.

I shall be following this thread.

Glad to hear that, they are one of the best places to make friends.

Today I had my first X-ray after discharge and everything was fine. This week my clicks have gone up to 21 per day, which honestly makes me a little anxious, but I'll try.

thankscience · « **Reply #26 on:** August 04, 2022, 09:37:59 AM »

Are the clicks painful for you?

Genius · « **Reply #27 on:** August 04, 2022, 12:57:38 PM »

hello destiny666. I wish you a good luck on your journey!!

how is the pain so far?

Destiny666 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 04, 2022, 02:30:27 PM »

The fear of clicking is far greater than the pain. Because that damn sound sounds like the bones are out of place.

Good luck on your journey and thanks for the diary.

Did Dr. Giotikas say anything about the bearing capacity of the nail, so do you have to use a walker?
