- Took 2nd x-ray after 19.75 mm lengthening but Harry says x-ray shows only 1.6 mm. Dont know why so Sad
- My callous is growing so fast, Harry suggest to continue lengthening at rate of 1.25 mm per day. Not sure if its good or bad
- having muscle/nerve pull pains

I have done 32mm but I dont see this much length in reality and I have extreme pin bending inspite of the fact that I dont stand much. I feel whenever I lengthen its just causing pin to bend without lengthening bones and I have deep pin cut.
X-ray seems my bones are pre-consolidated as my callous growth is extremely good.
I was doing 1.25 mm yesterday and asked me to do 1.50 mm today so that it can be clearly checked tomorrow if my bones are preconsolidated and if so will cut my bones again. Dr. Sringari came today to visit
My first x-ray taken on September 17, 2013:
10/10/2013 :
After lengthening 3mm in 2 days + morning of 3rd day, Harry carried me for x-ray to finally confirm if I got preconsolidation.
Earlier X-rays showed almost possible sign of pre-consolidation but this time Harry took x-ray(which I will post later) from different directions including lateral. It was confirmed that there is no pre-consolidation. I had feeling of relief.

Harry carried me to hospital at around 3pm for my pin bending issue. I thought it will be simple matter. But it was nightmare for me. Pain was beyond imagination. Pain in my first surgery was just 0.1% of this time. This time, it was done with local pain killer injection. All 4 pins in both ankle changed by making new holes.
To fight the leg pain I hit so hard my knuckles on wall many times but no pain on my knuckles... I hit the hand with injection pin so hard but no pain..I pressed &twisted my old pin cut painful areas but no pain.. It seems these pains were not felt becoz of intense pain in leg. Only today I feel pain on my knuckles and hand. I had life threatening accident before, I cud tolerate easily bt I never felt any pain like this in life.
When I came out of OT, when I dont see anyone around, after waiting for sometime with unbearable pain when Harry came I got feeling of relief to see him. When u r suffering u need some dear ones around but Harry filled that gap. Harry dropped me in guest house at night. I personally feel that he has the charisma that give u pleasure to see him.

Early morning, Harry visited when he came for Yoga. I could not join as I still have enough pain in right leg.
I feel that after pin change, there shudnt be any loss in my lengthening as I have already lost almost 15days. Its struggle to stay one day like this with frame with a lot of undesirable lies to family, friends &work, keeping aside other personal issues &taking risk. My family live just 40 min drive from guest house but they dont know I m under LL near to them. Losing just 1mm means 24 hours of extra suffering, that's hard to afford.
I was given sleeping injection 2 times but pain was too much that I cudnt close my eyes inspite being so sleepy

I got Ex-ray and got 3.6 cm when I actually lengthened 5.3 cm
27/11/2013:
I got my x-ray today. I am quite disappointed. My x-ray was taken from side view and its shows zero callus for entire length (6.3 cm L and 6.5 cm R).
Earlier a lot of confusion was created becoz my front view x-ray was showing full of imaginary callus and created fear for pre-consolidation and so I was instructed to turn 1.25. After turning 1.25 my pain was reduced.
After almost 3 months and turning and getting 6.5 cm, my callus for entire length (6.5 cm) is almost zero. I take calcium + one of the best multivitamin + protein + spirulina + a lot of food/meat/milk/eggs/fruit and even started taking Lactogen for small baby since one week. I dont understnad where is my old callus gone, why entire length is zero callus? Why so late in finding it?
Perhaps x-ray is wrong? Dr. Sringari will give comment tomorrow. I wanted to wait for his comments but I am unable to sleep and rest due to tension. I went through all kinds of pain from first day - epidural not connected just after surgery + unbearable pain and sleepless nights every night + my pins got changed due to high bending with unbearable pains and now my legs feel better but again another issue...
I have been turning 0.75 and now instructed to stop turning and take rest.
1) Due to confusion for pre-consolidation, I didnt take any calcium+protein+multivitamin etc for first one month and I was turning 1.25mm at fast pace.
2) Another thing is after my pins got changed due to bending, I was not standing at all for next one month from the day my pins got changed on 11/10/2013. Then I got approx 2cm ballerina and I started standing since last 20 days for 4 times for 16/17 min and my ballerina gone.
Perhaps first month of not taking calcium/multivitamin + my previous month of not standing at all contributed to lack of callus.
I will hear from Dr. Sringari today and let's see.
Guys, I am feeling great relief to know that there is very less callus not completely blank as confirmed by Dr. Sringari. X-ray was not showing clearly but there is. I was bit worried and so posted without waiting for him, thinking that I will get urgent tips from old forum guys who faced similar situation.
Hi, Finger crossed. Will get x-ray on saturday - 7/12 and see what happens. It has been 7 days I have been stopping turning,.
