Some people just do it to feel better about themselves, especially when they tend to stick out in their environment.

Good man.
Hey Penguinn,
how is it going?
what arrangements have you made at home for your post-op state? is it wheelchair accessible? what about using the bathroom? what arrangements have you made for PT?
I get a strange feeling of satisfaction on this forum even when "other" people's height dysphoria is being cured. 
I'll be staying with my granny, whose house is 10 minutes away from my own cause it has an elevator. I won't be alone and will have help. Set the TV, PS4 and stuff there. I don't know what exactly you mean by wheelchair accessible. I'll be at Parihar's for around 5 days post-op where they'll teach me to use the walker. That's how I'll go to the washroom. I'm thinking of buying an EMS muscle stimulator that Unicorn mentioned in her diary.
Besides that, I'm nervous but not nearly as nervous as I thought I would be.

ok good. I thought you might have to use a wheelchair. Partial weight bearing can make your upper body really sore.
what about physio therapy? is there something like an isokinetic center nearby?

There's a physiotherapy section on the bottom floor of the hospital.

Nope. I think the physiotherapist will come home.
Yeah physio will come to your room while you're in the hospital and if you're close enough to the hospital for the physio they'll do home visits for a cost (it was $17 per session for me). You can also get free physio at the hospital in their section after your checkup and x ray.

How often does the physiotherapist have to visit you? I know you have to do the exercises everyday, but how often does the physio actually have to be there with you?
Best of luck. It's mid September now. I'm wondering if you have done your surgery yet. Can't wait for your update.
