Good
And one more thing it doesn't look like 6.5 cm please cross check it with other x-ray centre or other orthopaedic doctor
I don't have any personal gradues against you and any other in this forum.

Does it look like less or more to you?
Regarding the slight gap that appears to be on the knee cartilage on the X-Ray, I spoke to Dr Halil and Dr. Assayag and Dr Assayag has told me that everything looks okay and nothing at all look irregular on the x-Rays while Dr. Buldu said that the gap might look like that based on how the x-ray beam was shined, position of my leg during x-ray, ect and again, nothing irregular.

Third day out of removal surgery. I have surgical pains on my left leg mainly where the nail was locked which is easily bearable, I use a weak painkiller for it once a night. I am still not testing out my ROM because I want to give my body a rest before taking up physio although I can clearly feel the night and day difference in the general flexibility of my legs and I feel the ROM gain will not be a problem either. As all of you know from my previous post if you were not able to tell, I am consulting with Dr. Assayag as much as i possibly can and you could say he is updated on all my progress, x-rays, ect. It is crucial to have as much support as you can also from another doctor so you can also cross check facts and opinions. As soon as I get to Ireland I will also immediately consult with my orthopaedic surgeon.
Removing the frames was a relief and I feel safer now, from pinsite complications and any other crap that came along with those frames. My bones are aligned and the difference in height is massive in real life, plus the fact that my femurs are proportional with the length of my tibias I must say I look much nicer aesthetically than I did before.
I will take my bandages off in a day or two and my legs will feel more free. Anyway now everyday is going to be progress from the previous, no more one step forward one step back bullcrap like in the lengthening phase and I don't have the fixators anymore to restrict any more of my movements so I can freely make progress and keep my progress while I make it. My advice for future LLers would be to just wait for Stryde, it is worth every penny. Height neurosis is completely gone to the point that I don't even pay attention to anyone else's height outside anymore. When I came back from hospital I did not measure one person in my mind like I would have done pre LL.
Worts parts about my LL would be: 1)The post OP surgical pain, whether its the nail insertion or the fixator removal they both hurt a lot but this is also very individual so it might not apply to everyone.
2) The needles, I know this may sound like a bitchy reason but it does make a difference on anyones level of comfort, I did not like the nurses here in Turkey, one because not a single person in the entire hospital spoke English but many can barely take a Freiking blood sample. Before my removal I had to tell the nurse where to inject because she could not properly find my vein so kept jabbing it in the wrong place until I literally passed out, then starts to take my bloods, spilling quite a lot of it around the bed. Same cr@p when they were removing the needle. The cleaner guy also decides to clean the room at 4am for some reason, after trying to get to sleep for hours he then proceeds to make a racket and wake me up. Just very basic things but makes the experience horrible.
There are much more things but the list would be simply too long. Made me appreciate Ireland more, less cluster fkd.
Alright, Im going to take off now, not really bothered to update anymore as there are barely anymore new people responding to the diary. What I plan on doing is updating you all one year post frame removal. This is because coming onto these forums daily, the topics are just downright idiotic to begin with. I mean, a completely normal person could come on here and probably develop a height neurosis just by reading the posts. Recently more 175cm+ morons also parading the forums too, and then of course we have the final category, my favourite one, which would be the people who are constantly asking the same questions, I mean just read the bloody topics on the same answered questions. And for those of you who are 175cm and over, I do actually hope you get the surgery so that you realise how much of a clown you are, and no your excuse that you live in Finland is not a good one, I have met more Northern Europeans in real life who are around 175cm then you can imagine. To give you an example of how much of a joke this forum is, there is a user who wishes to be 195cm+ , if that is not the summit of idiocy then I do not know what is. FY, you want to impress a girl? then lengthen you're junk instead because that will be fifty percent more effective. It is sad really because on these forums are actual people who genuinely need this operation, guys who are 160cm below and they just get shadowed by these men who are average height and want to be lengthened because they lack a personality to please a women. To all the 170cm plus guys out there on the forum, knowing a few patients who were average height and did this surgery, you will not gain anything at all. If you were sad before, you will just be a taller sad person instead.
Look, I don't want to insult the decent people here too much but when you get this surgery done, you just want to move on, and nutcases talking about doing more surgeries gets very annoying because you know they will not get it done. I do not understand how some people can be on these forums for years after they move on, I can imagine it gets depressing and I also think deep down that, if you are indeed still on these forums after you have recovered, well then you never really beat height neurosis, why else would you be on this forum discussing something that should have been cured with this surgery.
Also, some of you I know have my instagram, text me if you actually are going through with the surgery, I am not an FAQ page.
Hah, I'm glad you've reached the point where you can move on from the forum! I've probably only got one or two more months on here before I stop checking regularly, but yeah there's really no point once you've done the surgery and especially once you've recovered.
Thank you for sharing James. Would you recommend it to me who is around 164cm after your experience?
