LON Femur 7.5cm with halil buldu may 13th, 2021 God-Willing

Edit Post

Update, today the physical therapist came. This session was a bit more intense, only slightly painful and uncomfortable 3.5/10 maybe not bad, but it was tiring. This time I did way more exercises. After that I went out the full day for about 5-6 hours. It made the day go by really fast.

I went to palladium avm with my wife, really nice mall. I learned to cover my lap with a jacket so people don’t stare at my legs or fixators, works well, taxi driver actually thought the fixator was a piece/part on my wheelchair, the human eye isn’t perceptive of things it’s not looking for

Day 7 post op

Today I walked about 30 steps unaided. In the morning I don’t feel much pain and discomfort. Maybe 2.5/10 when walking. I have random slight pains in random areas at random times when doing tasks like going to pee or getting in my wheelchair to go out.

Today is also my first day lengthening. Completed 1MM today. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this for another 2 1/2 months. These frames make me want to pull my hair out sometimes. By sometimes I mean a majority of the time.


I will be updating weekly instead of daily now. I am still sore in different areas, and some areas are slightly painful. My physical therapist said this is due to swelling and stays for about 2 weeks after surgery and after the 2cnd week it is a lot of improvement with no swelling present.

Went to palladium avm and emaar avm. Extremely nice shopping mall, was out for 6-7 hours today getting wheeled around. At the end of the day my legs are usually more sore/painful by a moderate amount then the morning. Even if I wasn’t to lengthen or move at all. It just seems that first couple hours you wake up is the sweet spot

Keep up the great work brother, rooting for you!

hi man congrats. few questions. so how much es your surgery? how many days in hospita after surgery and how long is lenghthening? i would recomend you stop at 6.5 as other said after is ballerina and duck gets worse. After surgery when you started doing some walking and isnt risk of bending or bone movement as the monorail is strong enough ?? pin infection ?

He doesn’t, he only uses monorails and if no nails are used it’s risky due to misalignment

Hi, I paid 15k euros. I stayed 4 days in the hospital. I would like to do 8cm if my body allows it but if there is trouble I would settle for less. Doctor said walking is okay, I’m light and they are full weight bearing
