Again, I want to thank everyone for their support. I have taken the first step to have surgery to correct the tibia in my legs. Although I try to be somewhat active, it is difficult for me to do certain exercises that most people take for granted. I was born in belarus (minsk) more specifically around the time Chernobyl occurred. This causes me to have issues with my thyroid and legs. My right leg was considerably shorter than the left and grew to the side in order to compensate. In Addition, rickets (vitamin d deficiency which results in problems with ones legs) went undiagnosed with me for quite some time. After doing a lot of research on the topic, I was able to find one of the most amazing leg restructuring surgeons in literally... The world. I have decided to get both of my legs broken and have him perform the necessary surgeries (involving several external fixators) so I do not need related surgeries in the future. I have now officially broken my leg and will spend the next 5 months rotating the necessary pins and recovering. In 2 month I will have surgery number 2. Why am I letting everyone know? I strongly believe in quality of life. If there is something that will help you live a more fulfilling life go for it. And thank you for the support.
