I'd love to, and I'm working my ass towards it. But at this point....I just wanna survive to the end of clicking lol...about 3.5-4 weeks to go...

Good luck mate at least it's temporary hardship.

Thanks pal.

If it weren't for my left knee pain (sleep was slightly better the last 2 nights), I'd honesty be almost golden.

I know Dr G is against people going home before clicking is done, but I may go home like a week before its done. I can't see how a week would kill me.

Just stay there till finish.
If anything go wrong he can fix it easier.

Well I am working really hard in PT to avoid complications. My only really complication so far (at about 4cm) really is the left knee pain, which Ive been told is fairly common and can be fixed via PT.
My flexibility is still very good at this point, more than halfway done towards my goal. I mean...if Leechlet can do it, I can definitely do it. Lol

What height are you aiming for?

Also if you ever get the chance to ask Guichet about post-op recovery and what his experience with patients have been I think we all would greatly appreciate it.

i think following doctor recommendations is v important..

im dealing with some pains and stiffness at my knee also.. otherwise im good.. actually, i think we are NOT afraid of the pain... for me at least, i am afraid that pain = complications have occurred or WILL occur if i continue.... ie, we are not afraid of the pain, but rather that the pain signifies that something bad is going to happen if we continue, or the pain signifies that some complication has occurred..

it is so much easier when ur with ur doctor cos he can inspect u and tell u nothing is wrong and u can continue with ur painful journey

remember, you are not afraid of pain, pain is afraid of YOU

I'm actually not in that much pain. My knee is even improving too. It's more the lack of quality sleep and the loneliness that are somewhat getting to me. I've been away from home since early November (pre-training). So it's been a while. I'm actually glad the holidays are over lol. I just wanna get back to my family back home. But I'm starting to see the glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel

As for my goal height, 6.5cm-7cm will put me at about 5'8", which has always been my goal. I know its still short, but with everything else I have going for me, it won't be an issue. I never had trouble with women or my career. But being 5'5.5" was just unacceptable to me personally.
