I no longer trust this forum. I had my fair share of suspension before but now i am sure some people here are just working for doctors or maybe the doctors themselves are writing this.

48 years old is not too late to get CLL. There are patients in their 50s and 60s who have gotten CLL and worked fine for them. It's recommended, but not required, for a CLL patient's age to be under 50.

I wished I had seen these earlier - they make stretching so much easier:

While stretching, you may play songs like this. I like my stretching sessions, quiet, though:

Thanks Ascending,
They seem interesting. Did you use them yourself?

I have developed this sense of trying to be a minimalist. I have donated a lot of stuff this year, trying to minimize the items I see in my place, especially the ones I don't get to touch or use for a long time.

I started using them both in the last two months.  The Physioworx kit is brilliant and made the most difference and it is configurable so that you can start with a slight incline and up it as you get more flexible.  I have it in my living room so that whenever I get up nad go past it, I use it.  This has reduced the discomfort I used to get by standing up after sitting for a long while.  The other kit is a replacement for the towel I previously used for doing the hamstring stretch and is much easier - Have it near my bed so I can do stretches in the night and morning.  Both are very useful indeed.

Thanks Ascending for letting me know. Do you think any of them could help with quads? I have had a hard time bending my knees for weeks now!

I met several patients @Paley that were in their 40s, 50s and one person was almost 60 years old. It's more common than you think

Thanks readyprecisestryde bro for the support.   

If someone reads my diary, they can see that in many cases, I discouraged people from doing this surgery cause of the unexpected challenges they would face (mainly the pain level that would most likely surprise even the toughest guy in the world)!  My goal here was to educate future CLL'ers to seriously think about what they are going to face and if they are not up for it, then forget about this surgery forever.

I have also repeatedly mentioned my motivation which is doing this surgery for the challenges it involves! not for other typical reasons (for girls, jobs, self-esteem, etc.). Before this surgery based on my body structure, and considering the way I dress and look, you would consider me as average, the least, if not above average or tall. I did not need to be 8cm taller. Only those who are into breaking records could truly understand what I mean by doing this surgery just for the sake of the challenges, not the height increase. Now doing this challenge when you are older, just makes it more interesting; cause you would want to show to yourself that you can successfully go through it, even at this age. I would do this challenge even if I were at 90, considering the crazy motivation I have to break records.

I did my diary only to help the LL'er community, cause what IFS (InFullStryde) and later Movie and others wrote here helped me a lot and I wanted to return the favor.

One more thing: If someone by coming to this forum, gets discouraged from doing CLL, it sounds safe to me. However if someone does the surgery just because he or she was encouraged by this forum, the surgery is doomed to fail, cause this surgery takes much more than getting encouragement from this forum. The way it works is that you would first decide to do this surgery, then come to this forum for more information. Based on that information you would either quit, or would still do the surgery informed by this forum. If anybody does this surgery solely based on my diary or anybody else's it would be pure stupidity!

Based on my line of work and my age, I have seen so many folks and I can quickly sense those with problems. This guy is not worth my time and attention! I would simply ignore folks like this guy!

can you prove me wrong?

Yes you could use the Volking stretching system to bend you knee whilst lying on you front.
