congrats man 
Please continue to update on how the calf muscles adapt to the lengthening. I'm very curious as to whether tight muscles would be a daily thing after LL; or whether the stretch receptors would turn-off after a while.
also would you mind sharing the knee scar? and would you consider femur lengthening in the future?
btw during lengthening, was the doctor/or his staff easy to reach if there was an issue?
Did they have someone you could communicate with, if you were going to have a panic attack or something?

How many people did you know that did 8cm tibia and seemed fine at his clinic?
there is an uncomfortable knee tightness and pain 2/10. there is a popping sound when i do physiotherapy that requires bending the knee. I stood up for 5 minutes and 2 minutes on the 9th day after frame removal. i have to lean forward and push my butt out because i feel that i would fall if i straightened my back.i am working to fix this what people call “duckass”. I feel my calves muscles stretching alot when I stood up.
i only know 1 person that did 8cm walking normal after 2 months. But he still looks like he struggle slightly to stand up, his walking is fine, just the standing and sitting motion, looks awkward. i know another guy that did 7.5cm. he is post 6 mths frame removal. he looks like a normal human being, drive motorcycle
the doctor is easily contactable on Zalo. nurses are 24/7 when you are staying at the hospital.
11th day after frame removal.
practice standing for 2 minutes each reps with my physiotherapist. leaned against the wall to straighten my back.
standing is more firm and balanced compared to the first time.
felt like i could take a few steps but decided to fix my standing posture before learning to walk again.
slight knee and ankle soreness but no pain.
left calf muscles feel less stretched when i am standing. seems like muscles are adapting to the longer legs.
Congratulations on the frame removal!
Do you have any equinus?
yes about 1cm tiptoe, but it goes away after standing up for about a minute.
