UNICORN - Dr. Guichet Internal Femurs 8cm - Summer 2016

Edit Post

I have one question, if you do 7 cm on femurs it would be 6.5 in reality due to inclination?

I think it depends from person to person.

Well, I would say that the average lost is .4 cm( is irrelevant).

I'm looking at your inseam and sitting height and, if you're a girl, leg lengthning will definitely suit you. Let me tell you that women with long legs are very sexy, specially with long femurs. You may be LL to be taller and end up taller and with better proportions, that would be awesome 

Haha!  Thanks for the vote of confidence NoRegrets   I saw this attractiveness chart and apparently women are perceived to be sexier when leg:height ratio is above 1:4

J-4   Doc G just called, I'm being moved to Monday July 25th @ 2pm

Received my instruction manual from Doc G yesterday on how to take care of self post surgery with visual illustrations on racheting , stretching, exercising, nutrition, sleeping, medicating, wound care, showering etc.

Also subscribed to www.soulmatefood.com, 3 meals + 2 snacks daily, catered for high protein needs at £180/week.  That way, hopefully, I avoid stressing out about what to eat, nutritional needs, expense of delivery from restaurants with greasy unhealthy menus... will let you know if it's good!  Sample menus like cajun chicken, seabass green curry, avocado cocoa mousse etc.

Will continue working out to buff up abs, upper body and crutching (up/down stairs, in/out cars, up/down bed/seats).  Breakthrough 2 days ago, grasped the technique on stairs - nothing to do with strength but crutch/arm angles and folding/lifting legs.  Was taught how to lock knees together to trigger full weight bearing and apparently, I can stand unaided.  Such a scary thought esp with 2 broken femurs

You sound very prepared and organized. Looks like you've done everything possible to be ready!

Good luck to you.

wow...very well-prepared. just don't take the supplements altogether at once. cycle them. eg, take set A on Monday, set B on Tuesday.. etc.. if you take them together, chance that body might get used to it and stop producing its own stuff. so have supplement-free rest days. I was on a supplemented regime but I healed the same as normal individuals, so I don't think the supplements actually help. or maybe cause I was taking NSAIDs.

Yes, I agree    Have been taking what the doc prescribed pre-surgery, 2xFolic Acid + 1xFerrous Sulfate.  Started to detox liver today by drinking 2L of dandelion root tea + castor oil/heat pad on liver.

Can't exercise 48h before surgery, so tomorrow will be my last day at the gym.  PT will measure my max weight capability.

Doc G has a OneDrive excel sheet on share drive for me to fill in every activity, so that he can monitor in real time all my required exercises, clicks, medication and pain level.
