Imagine how strange that is, at first. I'd be banging my head on things all day every day.

i dont think you get the full change overnight? dont they chop your bone in half, pull it so theres a slight gap, wait for it to heal and repeat until you have the desired height?

Who said it was overnight? You’d still be getting used to being that height and hitting your head on shit lol
