My last x ray looked ok. Not rock solid but Paley referred to my right as such anyways. I am sure now they are looking a lot more sturdy if I were to have them x rayed
Pain in my left leg seems to be totally gone though I haven't tried jogging again yet. For those wondering the cure seems to be strengthening what must have been a very weakened muscle through isolated left leg workouts, specifically leg press and extensions. I look forward to bulking my legs more and getting my glutes back, as I believe the latter is why my hips are still slightly tight.
My estimation for totally normal walking is two weeks most likely. Will post about my jogging as it is applicable.
So aside from that pain are you back to at least 90% of what you were?
Also it concerns me a bit that recover is taking so long for you, do you still recommend Dr.Paley? Have others taken as long to recover.
Any info would help as paley is guy I have in mind.
I lengthened with others, all of whom are doing much better than me. I don't know why I've taken so long(a portion was not having someone there to help stretch me) though so there is a chance of your recovery taking awhile too. I would still recommend Paley, especially based off others, but you aren't guaranteed to have an effortless journey.
I am not 90%. As I said before my walking is at the point where it almost looks normal and is getting easier, and jogging is mostly untested.

How much worse are you than the other patients?
I mean, they are playing sports and I am not even at baseline, so they are doing a lot better. Hard to say exactly how much better, but since they recovered in half the time we will go with them doing twice as well as me.

Any major difference between their surgery/lengthening period and yours?
Did they lengthen less, stretch more or anything such?
Some lengthened less, one lengthened the same and was better two or so months ago, having started a month later.
Stretching was probably a factor.

Are you suggesting that you didn't stretch the amount that Paley and his PT team told you to stretch? Or are you saying that you should have stretched more than that? Or do you mean you should have stretch more prior to the lengthening process?
Asking because I'm doing internal femurs with Paley in a few months and diaries like yours have me worried. Congrats on your new height, though. I'm going from 5'5" to 5'8" (your starting height). Is 5'8" still discriminated against for being short?
ofcourse he is, didnt you get the memo.
To be accepted as a "man" (sorry everybody offended and not really open to R3al1ty) 5'11 is the limit to go without any smerk replies and preconcieved ideas about you.
I personally dont meassure anyone by bone length to determine their masculinity.
But get on topic with Perception. Perception is KEY!! to everything. Thats why there will be dudes 5'8 doing just "fine" and others who suffer like more than you could imagine like wow that bad.
But the two of them give of different perceptions to the reciever thus gets a different response in return that fits that specific scenario. Thats why im doing LL atleast.
And thats all people without 2 brain cells on active duty goes for in the world aswell. The world is a hall of mirrors and the top dog is the most reflective one.
Thats why we like our politicans,leaders,famous people etc etc Tall-er.
Because it feeds our Ego of security in "What the fk is all this.. where am i. who am i, etc". The one that is thinking in your mind IS the EGO and it has ALOT of filters i found this out the hard way when i took mushrooms and got blown away and could more clearly see the current world in a different light and gain more personal power form the whole trip.
