Quote from: Dreamer57 on September 24, 2019, 12:26:48 PMHey....Maybe you are busy...Bt I'm very curious at this point and can you pls post your latest x-ray 
?
I don't have any more x rays. I didn't ask Dr. Rozbruch to email them to me.
Update:
Today is the 2nd anniversary of my limb lengthening surgery. I'm about to go to the gym later to see how fast I can run a mile. I'll post it later. I was sick for the past 2 weeks so was not able to train/reach my goals.
Atleast can you tell me about your current athletic status? Can you do all the things like an average person, have you got back to being normal?
Update:
I got some running stats.
After lightly jogging at 6 mph for 10 minutes (2.0 incline), my heart rate was about 194 (very high). Pre LL it would have been about 160 -ish. So clearly there is still more work to do.
On the bright side, I ran .5 miles at a 7:16 minutes/mile pace. I don't think I reached that pace even before LL. I'm doing a 5 mile run tomorrow so I'll have stats for that later.
I didn't start seriously training cardio until July so it really wouldn't have taken this long to get to my pre LL stats.
Great news and congrats on your progress.
I’m sorry if you have already covered this somewhere else, but how do you walk and run now? Normal gait (like pre-LL)?
pretty nice Puru! keep going bro
Hi Puru,
As a dude of Indian ethnicity who happens to be around 5 foot 6 and living in North America, how hard would it be to be successful in romantic relationships as well as career in leadership roles etc?
It is a tough question to answer but I would like to know your perspective.I have been rejected for dates because of my height.All this crap saying that girls are shallow for rejecting on the basis of height is ludicrous.Height is one of the important traits of human attractiveness.If you do enter the arranged marriage market, it gets multiplied because you cannot impress anyone with your personality.It is a numbers game there if you get what I mean.
All this is fine but I don't have the time to do LL.I might get money but have no f..ing time.I just do not know on how to start ACCEPTING this .Any inputs?
Update:
I can say I've financially recovered from the surgery (meaning I'm financially where I would be if I had never done the surgery in the first place.
I thought that it would be interesting to visualize the financial impact of LL.

The chart shows my assets (bank accts + investment portfolios) from 2014. You can see a giant spike in May when my $80k loan gets disbursed to my account, and then the drop after the "LL Event", and a period of joblessness.
I added a red line to show how my assets were trending upwards and how my current assets are back to the level they would have been had I never done LL.
Note: The app I'm using for the visualization has buggy data before May 2016. The increase was pretty gradual for the entire duration, even though it shows a huge increase at the point where the red line starts.
The other fluctuations are a result of the stock market going up/down.

Heres another link showing the change in my net worth (not fully recovered):

You can clearly see it tanking when I take the loan and pay for the surgery. Its not clear from the chart, but my net worth is still not at where it was prior to LL ($59k). It is currently at $21k, increasing by about $35k every year.
Really interesting analysis.
How old were you when you did the op again?
Is it safe to say this was a decision you are very happy you took?
Would you ever go back for your Tibias?
