Quote from: MyEvolution on January 18, 2020, 05:40:35 AMAre there any diaries out there about re beaking? I would be lieng if I said im not at least a little nervous tbh
My re break is scheduled in 4 days i have no clue how ill b walking right after
I jus took a video of my curent walk so i can compare but hoping its not too big of a set back
They r re breaking + changing the rod

I’ve been lengthening my left at 2x (0.5mm) slowly as well
I have 7 more days of that and my left will officially be at 7cm
At that point i am hoping that while i focus on my right and give my left time off, it will loosen up to the point where i can safetly continue the left to 8cm with the right

This has been one of the hardest things i’ve ever had to fight for
Just when i thought i’d be at 8cm 2 weeks from now, that date got pushed back by 1.5months
But it’s SO worth it to me and still not too far off so I have to keep battling

Btw i have been thinking of making a patreon where i post exclusive videos for you guys going in depth on any Q&A’s you might have. If u support this idea let me know & if enough people want it i’ll do it

I remember what it was like to be in the 5’4’s and reading this forum on the other side hoping this was all real and worth it
It is, there is a hope my brothers


Hey bro....we definitely want that video thing...would really be helpful....best of luck for re break surgery!

Where did u do your re break
It was my fourth surgery and I elected to stay longer because I did not feel well enough to travel back home by plane - my stay was originally expected to be 5 nights.  The procedure was done in Europe by the surgeon that did the original surgery.  Your situation is much better than my one was.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

I always worry about premature consolidation or unevening lengthening.

Just had surgery couple days ago and.. how do i put this into words
Thank god it’s only my right leg my left leg feels terrible
Not as bad as first time but still a solid 50% of the pain of surgery
I’ve had hiccups since surgery that anesthesia was super strong
Puked all of tuesday
I am using crutches rn pretty dependent on them ngl idk how long it will take me to regain full strength but this def sucks
I feel pain at my knees rn i know that’ll go away soon enough
But hey my left leg is at 7cm so time to catch up then go home

Been checking this thread a lot — Glad to hear you’re doing okay.

Some people experience nausea as a result of the anesthesia; I know I did the first time, and they gave me a patch the second time.

I think the knee pain is usually due to swelling.

I assume you've been discharged, have you resumed PT yet?

BTW sounds like they've cracked down and don't want people trying to go past 5cm on tibias anymore.

Ya thats true. For anyone reading, if you try to go past 5cm the doctors will litterally do everything to stop you at 5cm. I know why now loool it’s too much fighting but im glad i made it to 7

Yea i was discharged the day after, spent 1 night in the hospital
I puked 4 times that day
