Tartar bro,
This is the results of the accurate x-ray standing I had done and posted on 10th of October, two days before distraction phase was complete. It must be super accurate, cause I was told for the type of x-ray my doctor ordered, only a couple offices in LA area, among all the offices my insurance has, would be able to do that kind of x-ray.
My main concern at this point, is my lack of patience. I underestimated my recovery time. I was very optimistic I would be pain free in three months and back to normal in 6 months. It's past three months and I still have pain and discomfort starting late afternoon to midnight times. My gait does not yet look normal! I highly doubt I would be back to normal in 6 months!
Don't get me wrong; I am still grateful for what I have achieved so far, but I should learn to be a bit more patient with the slow recovery of the CLL surgery!

No 
I made an agreement with Dr. M. to not be listed in there 
I am quite surprised, seeing several old folks going for it! I am not the only crazy old weirdo

Oh yes sorry I'm very forgetful, I've read them very well too cause I've done the same calculations by myself, your limbs are perfect.
For what concern pain and discomfort, that's very individual unfortunately, probably you are not very lucky about it.
If you are walking unaided it's already a great goal. Your callus on the left is great, on the right is fine, I'm sure you'll improve very much in these 2 months.

Thanks Tartar,
A side benefit of COVID-19 times for me was doing the surgery while working from home. However it's been very boring recently. If I could get out of the house and be with colleagues and friends most of the day, I think I would not have this much of discomfort, but staying at home is a challenge for me!
I am probably complaining too much! I should be happy my pain is not as bad (it's 0~3 on a scale of 10 on both legs).
Very good callous formation! you should be headed to a speedy and nice consolidation in no time Haha I also saw him 2 days in distraction, similar Callous if I remember correctly.

It's great to hear this from you, Movie! Thanks Man!
Any updates on your nail removal surgery? Who knows I may follow your path
you're very welcome SNC.
Yes actually, just today on another thread "nail removal in greece" somebody brought up Dohong Lee in South Korea, I emailed them yesterday and they just got back to me saying their price is 6.6K with 4 nights 5 days all inclusive Bilateral Femur removal, and seeing how Lee has been around longer than Giotikas I'm very inclined to just go to South Korea ASAP, since Greece doesn't have open boarders as of now, but South Korea does. I emailed back on how I can proceed so who knows, hoping to get it done around this time next month if it all comes together, that's how desperate I am to get these foreign objects out of my body lol!

Adding the airfare, the cost is still is 1/3rd of that with Dr. M., right? That's a bargain assuming Dr. Lee would do a good job. I'd definitely consider it.

SK seems like a good choice, though right now there's a 14 day quarantine requirement entering from the US I believe. @Movie - did you ask why a 5 night inpatient stay is necessary for rod removal? Do they have post-op physical therapy at the hospital, need to observe you, or something else?
