Did he tell you something about your gait? Does he see that as a failure or just a part of the process and expects it'll get back to normal?
Don't hurry up mate, you're at the finish line, just have a little more patience.

Just part of the process, i mean if i really try my gait is almost normal even right now, so i guess after removing the ExFix it will get a lot better, i mean i have full motion of range even now with a lot of movements, the only thing i can’t do it touching the ground with my fingers while having my legs straight, but for example i can do full squats etc, without any weight of course
how's your ballerina, will you need atl?
Can you drive the car?
happy that everything's going smooth for you.

I have zero ballerina, actually my dorsiflexion is really good so i won’t need ATL, btw you are supposed to do it like 2 months after the surgery, also i never stop driving the car i was driving 2 weeks after the surgery to meet Dr Pili
Sounds like you're doing good. 
Does it feel like you will be able to fully recover? or is it too early to know?

Define full recovery. If you mean going back to what i used to do then yes, so walking and lifting, but to make an example i don’t know how i will run or jump. What i mean is i only know the full extent of my abilities in stuff that i use to do and i use my legs only for walking, driving and lifting but is like years i don’t run or even try to jump i think.
Yeah... I know what you're talking about.
Running and jumping seems to be the most challenging for everyone, but it's just a matter of working on it, unless you simply don't care.
I guess you should be able to get at least 80% of your pre-surgery running/jumping abilities.
So is about to weeks i’m walking completely unaided and my gait is almost completely normal but in the morning where for 5 min looks slighty off, with shoes i think it looks like before surgery; i can do every kind of stretching or movement with my legs, considering i’m still two months away from removing the ExFix i think i’m pretty much recovered
I will remove the ExFix in mid February, for a total amount of 8 months and 10 days
Glad to hear you're doing good man!
I hope the ExFix removal will go as planned.
