Operation Day 0 :
it was afternoon at 15:30, all in the same day(test, x ray,blood) were done!
while i was waiting ope time, i was listening motivational music , i had no worry no anxious nothing, i was so relaxed, i m a bit crazy (calm,coldblodded)
i awoke in post surgery room, everything was like it happened nothing, i was accustomed to anesthesia 
Pain Level 0/10
Day 1 ( 6 July 2018)
it can say the first 1-2 day is challenge because it s obviously normal that your body is faced with a new situation that never happened before, you can't move not too much. Dr Monegal visited me and said Having a perfect operation with minimal scar incision. i think He did recently more bilateral ope. Mine was piece of cake
Pain Level 0/10
1.Epidural in your spine
2. i didnt want catheter in Penis
3. IV in Arm
Day 2
it s better than first day but interestingly, i had a headache, i talked it with Monegal and Anastheist.they said it s pretty normal.Reason could be epidural in spine, they removed it, you know everybody is different and body reacts in different way. Pain Level 0/10 in my legs
i went to toilet very carefully with crutches , it was amazing feeling step by step, and later had shower, Carol who has the same height 1,74 makes me always laugh with her spanish , i try to learn Spanish" necesito un poco de practico: it means i need practice,
i took X ray ,it looks very good,Dr said.
CPM Machine time: i did it today with Physiotherapist, device bend my knee 60° angle about 30 min and then Dr Monegal visited me, we watched game between Croatia-Russia.
He showed me some exercises, Hip Flexion, i said i can't do it and put a towel under my knee and i succeed it. He has really very knowledge about everything.
Day 3 Today
No Headache, i m sleeping very well since first day and started the day good, Nice Breakfast, some check up, some spanish learn and writing to you on my bed.i will do some exercises Hip flexion, a little walk, i feel myself better, as i said, first 1-2 days are really challenge in term of adaptation .
Pain Level 0/10
Meanwhile After one week staying, i move to Mic St.Jordi. i visited there before i come here, there are now 6-7 patient. i talked with them, they were doing very well, Physio etc. but i think im the one Unilateral Patient. i explain later why i do it.
last word about Dr. Monegal
we had appointment last year for operation, We kept in touch and he always replied my questions quickly and organized everything very clearly, He draw a optimum plan for Ope Date,
after i came here, We had lunch at 14:00 at Clinica Diagonal like a friend so shortly He is Special One who cares all of his patients and very skilled Surgeon with his innovative technique .i can say that just visit him or make an appointment , you understand what i mean. I believe and trust him and myself in this Journey.
Stay Strong !
Two Stage Internal Femur / Dr. Monegal /
@sidvicious
1.i dont have a certain target.i will listen to my body.i will do as much as i can.
2.Two stage( unilateral lengthening ) first of all , you do one leg lengthening , after finished it, start the second Leg. Read some diary 
(Yagen,Auron etc)
3.I returned back %100 to my pre Ope Athletic abilities because This is My Job. i worked very hard.
4.Day
My swelling is getting better. Dr Monegal removed the bandage, it s nice again to see my Leg.After 3 day, I started the my daily program ( Leg circle,hip flexion, isometric exercise etc) i have to return back very strong.
I Got 82* with CPM machine. Second day was 60 , it s improving.
Sexy Leg is on the way 
i started to walk along the corridors easily with two crutches. My arms are very strong, My core stability is enough good to keep my balance. Meanwhile i did first Left Leg.
Morning s summary;
i took a shower when i waked up,it makes me feel energetic then i had some breakfast, after a while Physio visited me like everyday,We walked together and talked about some details.He said that im walking very well.Later on Dear CPM machine as you see(it will move the knee through a range of motion without you need to use his or her muscles to move the leg) it s just a part of treatment.
then i had lunch
Foods
i have to say the Food are really delicious it s better than i expected:Today s menu: Beef/Patato,Spanish Spagetti,sweet yogurt, bread. A beautiful lady visits you everyday and ask your choice for Meals.
as i said im really in good Hands...
i will rest now and again will do my own routine. i can't wait to watch the biggest Semi-Final France-Belgium
Keep strong,My Friends
Buenas Tardes!
great, thanks for the diary... Can you tell us more about your first operation? And why dr Monegal seems the only one to do one segment at a time... do other docs underestimate the risks?

Pain Level:
Last two days I didn’t take any painkiller . It increased 10/6 but that day I had done lots of walking(15min with short intervals) with 2 crutches and rehabilitation.Pain is like a discomfort, soreness. Today I took just Nolotin and Pain Level 10/2. Sleeping is very well. If you stand up and walking without medication , 10/3-4. this is not unbearable. Come on,We are not fking little boy!

Scar:
I will show a photos of my scars very soon , they are looking very good, The Nurse didnt notice whether it is scar or not while Dr. Monegal was removing it. 10/10
Lengthening :
I started to today lengthening.Dr Monegal explained me everything very well and draw a routine( split)
I do now 1 mm. Lengthening is easy for now.i think there is no need to explain how it works. Meanwhile I bet him for that Final Match But England couldnt even reach Final. I will take Boss to Dinner.
Mental:
I feel better mentally because the first 2-3 (maybe 4) days were big challenge. You know i was doing sport everyday and now it s like a prison break everything is limited. YOU HAVE TO KNOW ; This is not a walk in park but Pain is temporary , Height is always with you. Look! It has been 7 years since my tibia operation. It passed so quickly.i was happy with my Height and There is one thing in this life that you can’t buy, „TIME“ i couldn't able to do this operation in future.
I spent very good times after T.ope , healed very well, enjoyed my life , that s why follow your dreams, do things that make you feel happy .
Lunch
Room View
11.day
i moved to Mic before 5 days ago and will spend 2 weeks before i return to Home. Until now lengthened approx. 0,5cm with 1 mm per day
Pain Level
0-1/10 and i took 1 painkiller until now during lengthening.
Recommendations;
- if you want to do one Stage Op. you should train absolutely your triceps not to overweight L.Leg and core training to keep your balance better. it mean you may walk at least 15 min constantly with resting.
-if you take painkiller, you dont feel anything on leg.it s like you feel you walk without crutches thats why i try not to take something.
-Mic is very ideal place for the people who come from abroad, everything is designed well for disabled person. i rented a double room, there is everything inside. Kitchen for Cooking,adjustable bed ( like in Hospital),Air Condition etc and Small Pool, Phsiyotherapy room, Cafe direct on entry. There are some restaurant and market along the street.I saw the other patients they go shopping with wheelchair, big admiration !
-there is some good applications: Glovo: you can order your food. A nice meal cost about 12-15€ or you can cook in your apartment.
-There is 6-7 L.L Warriors staying here now. Dr. Monegal visit us frequently , last time was a like international Meeting.
Physiothereapy
Pt Alberto visit the patiens Mic.i watched a few times. it s certainly worth. im not Physiotherapist but i know what i should do, however i will take a pt from him.
i can bend my knee 90°.i do training everyday. it lasts 45 min *2 times. Doing some isometric strength, active passive exercises, stretching etc and walking.
Mentally
As i said, this is my second operation and i was knowing what kind of obstacles i will face to. However i m working still to stay strong and cope with this.
that makes me tough!
Duke s word in Rocky IV film:
"Now you're gonna have to go through hell. Worse than any nightmare you ever dreamed. But in the end, I know you'll be the one standing"...
