Hey Siegfried,
Congrats on the 2nd surgery. I am sorry you are in more pain than the first time. Hopefully this will subside soon. How is it getting around on your other leg 10 months post op? Does your “good leg” feel tighter, or less mobile than before?
Yeah, the other leg feels great. Barely feel a difference tbh
Awesome!
Was the bone graft surgery covered by that insurance Dr Koehne had offered to you?

Yes, it was. Did not have to pay anything.
3 weeks post OP of second leg: 3cm lengthened total
The pain and the bruises from surgery trauma has decreased significantly, but I’m still heavily reliant on pain medications throughout the day.
Lengthening this leg is actually even more rewarding than the last leg, because I’m finally closing the gap of the large 3 inch leg discrepancy, which I have been dealing with for the entirety of 2022.
Having done 3cm of 8,7cm already, the gap is starting to close day by day and I am looking forward to the next few weeks, to regain that equal len length again.
Glad to hear that. I’m seriously considering doing lengthening the same way as you did (but I will go for 8cm instead of 9cm).
Would you say that it’s possible to go to work everyday and resume normal life with crutches after completing 80% of the lengthening phase?
It really depends on what you do? In general, I cant imagine going to work everyday on crutches, it’s extremely taxing to get from a to b especially with a discrepancy.
After my experience, you are kind of required to sit at home for the majority of the time. So the only time I see anybody working is at home.
Cool 👌🏽👌🏽 I think I can do it. I work a office job and the parking lot is maybe 20 steps away from my desk
Two questions:
1- how’s your proportions looking with this conservative and balanced lengthening and what’s your wing span?
2- would you say that it’s possible to push the acceleration paddle on the car with your right leg?
