Should be coming up to 5cm I'll know exactly when I get X-rays before getting frames removed but no matter the amount lengthened I've decided I have to stop and return home unfortunate situation but oh well.

Hopefully you get the 5 cm at least.

That sucks, but if it's any consolation 2 inches is still a good gain and with 5cm you'll have top notch proportions and recovery like LL never happened.

A lot of stretching of the Achilles' tendon and hamstring muscle + many hamstring and quad exercises to minimize muscle atrophy

Well the physio helps with my Achilles stretches essentially I just lay on my bed and he pushes my foot up over and over and over going further each time and he also helps with one hamstring stretch which is me lifting my leg up straight and he pushes it as close to my head as possible while I keep it straight. He used to help with the excercises but I prefer doing it alone now. I do leg curls, leg raises, modified form of a pronated plank, sitting on the edge of my bed and straightening out my knee over and over simple things like that I also stretch on my own time a lot.

Just as I said. Completely useless exercises. There is no point in doing these.

Every patient needs to STAND!!! Listen to me. I really know this part.

Good that you decided to stop at 5cm. It is really the maximum you should go. You'll be fine.

Very good choice, Morissette, you will be very good. Dont forget that you can do femurs in the future, but both segments with a safe amount.
