    I had surgery today. I went into the operating room around 8 o’clock and came back to the ward around 2 o’clock. So far, I haven’t experienced any pain, and the doctor advised me to begin some basic stretches to help with my recovery. Thanks to the forum, I received plenty of support, so I can respond to your inquiries while keeping my privacy intact.

      Dear Sir, I trust all is going smoothly.

      What amount did you decide on for limb lengthening?

      On the femur?

      I only requested an extension of five centimeters; if everything progresses as expected, I might increase it to five and a half centimeters.

      Good luck! Please keep us informed.

      May I inquire about your age and initial height?

      Today, I began practicing standing and moving. It is quite challenging, and I must rely heavily on my hands for support. Following ten steps with the walker, I found myself perspiring heavily and had to pause to recuperate.

      It’s just your initial day post-surgery. It will become simpler.

      How’s the pain? What medications have they provided you for pain management?

      I didn’t experience any discomfort. I currently have no oral medication aside from the infusion; oral pain relievers were provided, but I chose not to take them.

      Please simply adhere to the prescribed medication. It includes a blood thinner, not just regular painkillers.

      I attempted stair climbing today, and it proved to be quite strenuous. I have been relocated to the fresh single unit, which I must admit is of VIP standard; regrettably, my discharge is scheduled for tomorrow, and my stay will just be for a day.

      Where will you be located in Athens after you leave the hospital? Is the PT location far away from your accommodation?
