    There is something that intrigues me a lot

    When I sit upright on the bed and slightly rotate my heels upwards or inwards, even just by 1 cm, I experience a feeling as if the bed has parts that are capable of moving and rotating upwards with my feet

    However, upon touching the side of the bed, I realize that there are no flaps rotating upwards and inwards at the central line of that end of the bed. The special hospital bed can only bend and flatten with its mechanical components underneath, but it does not rotate upwards and inwards on its own.

    This indicates that the sensation I perceive must originate from my legs themselves after the limb lengthening surgery

    On an unrelated note, it is peculiar that during the first few nights, when I attempt to sleep, my brain seems to interpret the overall pain and soreness in my legs as movement or as if my legs are being moved. Consequently, in my dreams, my entire body and particularly my thighs seem to move in waves or undulate in a manner that roughly corresponds to the areas of soreness

    This sensation mostly diminishes after the first night

    Overall, it is fascinating how the pain and sensation in the thighs are leading the brain to perceive movement and spatial changes differently, despite my rational understanding that my legs are mainly still and only moving slightly

    Awesome, I would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Paley, even though I may not have the funds to cover it, just to have the chance to meet him. Best of luck to you.
