Classic Ilizarov: How to stay active during 8 months in frames?

Edit Post

What kind of physical activities can you do while in frames for 8-10 months? Am I limited to walking and a stationary bike?

With a pretty active lifestyle I have now the vision of spending such a long time at home, without a proper workout is really depressing.

I am visiting Dr Catagni next month so if I decide to go with him I'll stay in Lecco. Any ideas how to enjoy my time there will be much appreciated.

Sorry, I only want to know if you are Italian or not, since you are going to visit Dr Catagni.

How many cm you lengthened and whats your initial height?

Anyways i don't know much for externals, but i think biking and stretching and if your doctor allowed you to walk cautiously to flow some blood and faster the process

You have a great height, why you want to risk and make this surgery? where're you from if you let me ask?

175cm a great height?! Maybe for a girl LOL. 181 is an average male height in my country and it's even more for my generation. Out of 17 guys in my class in high school only 4 were shorter. I'm just mediocre and I've heard that I'm pretty short for a guy many times (yes, also from girls).

Honestly guys, let's quit asking this stupid question and stay on topic. Everyone here has his reasons to do this. Some aim for mediocre, others want to be average, and some want to stand out.
