13th day after removal. Started using the walker to walk around. legs feel heavy for each steps. No pain. Still hard to stand up straight because i am unable to balance myself. physiotherapist said it is due to my weak legs.
Noticeable improvement everyday. I would say i am recovering well.
17th day after removal.
Balance has improve. Muscle tightness have also decreased. Able to stand and walk around the walker instead of using wheelchair.
Muscle tightness is still 7/10 when just waking up. it decreases to 2/10 after walking for 1-2minutes
22 days after removal.
Legs feel stronger. Tried walking while just holding my physiotherapist hand. The walk is easy but feel slight 1/10 pain in left leg ankle area. Using the walker to walk is easy now, I am able to walk more than 30 minutes without feeling tired with the walker. Calves tightness is gradually decreasing every morning after waking up albeit rather slowly. Hope to walk unassisted by the 60 days mark.
Continue to recover, brother. Hope to see videos of you walking and jogging in the future.

I think my scars are on the better side compared to people i have seen. my scars are flat, while theirs are bumpy. My pinsites scars are relatively tiny. Hopefully they improve in the coming months.

Thank you, I am still considered a short king. But my height dysphoria is gone. 
I only have a month left in vietnam... before I have to return home. I need to walk normal or at least 80% for my family to not suspect a thing.
I am going to increase the frequency of my rehab and improve my diet to gain back the muscles I have lost during lengthening. (legs still look skinny)
