I lengthened 80 mm and definitely lost some athletic ability. Impossible to have it all and I am ok with it because I am not a professional athlete. Trade off was worth it for me. I may do tibia next but don’t want to be greedy

Yeah it's all about trade offs. What are the reasons you're not sure about doing tibia?

More surgery = more risks and don't want to deal with infection, DVT, nerve issue and list goes on if it does happen

Of course, but it's all true for the first surgery as well. Just interesting to see you thinking about it differently now.
Do you think having access to a pool is critical for recovery? Anything else that might really give an advantage?

pool therapy is not critical and I heard good things about it. I didn’t do any pool therapy myself. Experienced surgeon is a must. He can align the nail correctly and can deal with complications
Stretching several times a day , diet, and doing resistance training to build the muscles are also important for faster recovery. stay away from smoking, alcohol and anti inflammatory medications
