I made two new gait videos for you.
Its day 63 post surgery, 4,7cm. You can see my butt is gone. I will start in a few weeks with some upper body training :p I kept my shirt of so you can see the proportions better. I wear my pants pretty low, but that was also my style before the surgery.

Hi again Erkan!
Because of the way you walk in the 2 videos, it does not seem that you have had an operation ... Also, your proportions look good. I'm glad of your progress !!
I hope to improve my gait by following your advice, although it hurts a lot to endure lying with my feet together for just 5 minutes ...

Hey thank you to both of you!
Yeah I know it hurts :p  you can try only 2 minutes or so. Wish you the best!

Proportions look great. Given your 173cm wingspan I was thinking your arms would look short but they don't

I have something important to tell you. About 2 weeks ago I felt a strong pain in my right leg while stretching. Probably a muscle strain. since then my right leg was a bit swollen and hurt more than my left. but nothing bad. My mother, (she is nurse), recently saw the slightly swollen leg and has asked me every day since, that I should clarify whether it is not a thrombosis. Since I take prophilaxic thrombosis injections every day and I also exercise regularly, I ignored it but made an examination today to calm her down. and the result was unfortunately really thrombosis. I was shocked. They immediately called the ambulance. It was a scary feeling. They have now switched to xarelto as bloodthinner. of course i'm a little concerned now. I hope I can still finish distraction as planned. what I mean by that: if you are unsure, it is better to get checked. I would have never thought that its thrombosis in my case since the only indication was light swelling which I was blaming on the muscle strain. As you know this could have a deadly ending. maybe my mother saved my life by doing this!

dear Erkan,

God bless to your mother for saving your life. oh dear God this is a scary operation. It is surprising to me that you get this complication after almost 2 months after the operation. My doctor in spain told me it usually happens in the first month. and you are doing the stryde nail and walking everyday. This is a complete surprise to me.

the treatment for this complication is the blood thinners so you should be ok with going forward. Best of luck to you Erkan!

Did you find out which leg the complication came in? Is the injections you were taking more powerful than xarelto?

regards,
sergio
