Brenda took x-rays and the doctor said that because of skin and tendon resistance the bone shifted down and stopped lengthening and that is why even though the little ruler on the fixator said that I was at almost 20 mm, the x- ray only showed that I had 12.5 mm, the same as 6 days ago. He told me that he needed to adjust the frame and lift the pins of the bone that shifted down. He said that he could do it in the office and he could just give me a local anesthesia but he would feel more comfortable doing it at a Operation Room setting. He turned the fixator back a couple of times and he told me to stop turning.
