U said u have lost a ton of flexibility, please tell me some details. I like swimming and playing tennis, can I do these after recovery?

Wow!👍How is your athletic ability now?

I don't know why so many are so concerned with their 'athletic ability'. You see some weirdos on here who are hesitant to get surgery cos muh I won't be able to squat again.

Who gives a fk about your squat? It's much more beneficial to life to be 2-3 inches taller than be able to squat any amount of weight, or play some stupid amateur sports or whatever. Who cares if you can't run 100 metres as quickly as you used to, 99% of the time legs are used for walking or climbing stairs, and I honestly can't remember the last time I had to run somewhere.

Just get it, be taller, enjoy your increased social opportunities and just live with the TINY fking tradeoff that your leg days aren't going to be anything impressive going forward.

If you keep the femur/tibia ratio within the normal distribution you can gain most of your atheletic ability back.  The people who dont are those who throw their ratio way off.  Key word being "can".  You have to work to gain muscle and its not easy when you're older.

Ok! I understand. Different people have different mindsets. Some people enjoy “playing some stupid amateur sports or whatever”. Yes, I play sports every weekend and enjoy it, so I concern “athletic ability” and want to get back. Some people like playing online games or addict the internet world or other indoor hobbies, so they don’t care “athletic ability. I understand it is a trade off and accept losing some athletic ability(maybe 10-20%). But I will also try my best to recover my athletic ability.

I'm quite active, meaning I work out. LL does not stop me from working out. I am essentially back at my previous personal record on the main machine that I used to track my ability.

You won't be able to run marathons though.

I fully intend on running marathons again though, however i already did this before surgery. I do not see a reason why, I should not be able to do this again. However I probably wont be breaking any personal records though

So you regained your athletic ability after consolidation phase? U totally recovered now?
