Ok guys, heres's an update
I can walk now, and not just walk, I walk faster than a good % of the people in the street. I have no limp. I mean zero
I do regret the achilles surgery, and in some ways it was the worst/ most idiotic decision I ever made but I'm doing so well that I'm not sitting at home regretting it. I shouldn't have gotten it but honestly, my life now is pretty much exactly how it would've been if I had not gotten the surgery. The exception is I still can't run and one of the scars isn't the greatest, but it's possible I might run in the future.
My body has always healed well. It's 100% genetic so I can't give advice to others on recovery. 99% of the population would be have a seriously reduced qol if they had the complications I had and made the mistakes I made
I lost all the weight I put on since the surgery. I'm now 75 kilos/ 168 lbs. I have long legs. I wear a size 32 length which is very very long. My uncle who is 6 feet tall has a size 29 pants length
I might post a video as You will able to judge my walking. You guys know how negative my posts can be so if I say I'm doing well I think it means something.
I can recommend Bagirov for this surgery. I can also say Monegal did a proper correction. Don't go to India!. I'll recommend Monegal/Bagirov all day over any options in India
I still have a rod and screws in my left leg. I am almost positive I will even be a bit better after everything is taken out
Monegal is keeping his promise and removing the device; either next week or early Sept
I never think about my height anymore so the surgery accomplished my goal
Stay healthy
FINALLY FIXING MY LEFT LEG WITH DR. MONEGAL IN BARCELONA- JULY 2,2015
That is awesome to hear Crimson. Glad you are getting better.
Thanks for taking the time to write the update.
thank you
I have a doubt, some Pili patients wrote that after Atl they can run or even jump, but you are totally against ATL, do you think you had bad Luck on It?
not bad luck.... you lose power, 100% guarantee due to simple physics
but i'm okay and don't want to focus on ATL. I can live my life 100% normally
Ok, so I Will try to avoid that crap, although with tibia lengthening is very difficult to do It, good job!
congratulations crimson
I am really happy about you Crimsontide.
Personally I really couldn't feel happy with my condition due to my loose tendons and I could run, not fast but still run.
But I am glad that you feel ok with your condition and your body, after all this is what matters with LL. To feel ok.
Good evening everyone 🙋,I'm a new member on thi Community,i've registered like 5 minutes ago😀.Before that I have spent a lot of time reading multiple diaries and patient's experience.It's such a great Community despite the Apotheosis's incredible betrayal 😱.Yeah, I have spent a lot of time reading also the story regarding the "old forum",it was very shady but also exciting.It was like reading a thriller book including a terrible villain.Like an adventure✊.You guys have been so brave managing to create a true forum without fake advertising💪💪
Despite this introduction and apologizing for my bad english writing skills(Yeah,I'm living in Italy☺) I'd like to know how crimsontide is doing.This diary seems to not be updated since 2016(correct me if I wrong).I would know if crimsontide managed to have a prothesis because of his problems with the left leg and how are his condition now.
Best Regars for all of You
Still waiting for Monegal to take the rod off
My walking Is fine but a bit exasperating trying to get this rod out.
I'm about to say forget it and go to another Dr to do it. That's all there really is to say now.
