How are you feeling these days? It's been so many days that you haven't posted a video update, are you still doing your daily routine exercise? Have you tried anything new?

Hope you are feeling well

This is a video of my post-op biking backwards, I took a few weeks ago:



It was on my mind to give it a try to see if the new proportions would still let me do it. Turned out muscle memory wins! and I could do it with no trouble! 

I went to a bike shop and asked the owner if I could check their bikes. He was watching me and it was a bit embarrassing, so I finished it quickly.  Next time, I'll try to get a bike for a few hours and do some more damage

Hi snc when are you due to remove the nails? 1.5 years post op or do you think you can do it earlier?

Please do a wheelie SNC for next video.

I'm kidding 😆

I'm curious how you doing now though

Day 158 Post-op (Sun., Dec. 27 ) - Consolidation Day 77
Day 159 Post-op (Mon., Dec. 28 ) - Consolidation Day 78



Jogging and Walking: I have recently been jogging for a minimum of 1.5 mile (daily) in intervals of 0.1 to 0.5 miles, without pushing it too much. This is because, I'll have an appt. with Dr. M on Jan 12th.  I hope I will have excellent bone consolidation and hardening with no nail bending, or any other complications, therefore have not pushed on jogging.

I feel pretty normal in the pool. Can do all the things I used to do with no issues. I could get into the pool and get out of it, without the need of using the stairs; like old times I grabbed the wall and jumped in and also pushed my body out and using my legs to stand up. Felt pretty good. I however am not at my maximum speed yet. I need to work on my upper body. Unfortunately the long duration of no swim, has made my upper body weak.
How long does it take you to jog the 1.5 miles? I am thinking of becoming a police officer a year after I get the surgery, and being able to run 1.5 miles under 16 minutes is one of the physical requirements.

Hello canterk,
Sorry about the delay.  You would have the details on page 16 of my diary. In short, back in January 2021, Dr. M. said that I could remove my nails in 3 months [sometime in March 2021 which is already here!] Considering I did the surgery on July 23, if I removed my nails now, it would make it 8 months. A typical time for removal is 1 to 1.5 years after the surgery.

I believe my case should be looked at as an extreme case in the spectrum of CLL'ers. Everything went fast and almost perfect. I say almost, cause I experienced a lot of pain during distraction, however I made a record in finishing lengthening early and feeling normal with activities even normal people would have a hard time by month 5.   I think for someone to decide whether they should do this surgery or not, they should carefully research about CLL, and also read some diaries here on average cases as far as recovery time, etc.

I hope this answers your questions.
SNC

Hey ghkid,   
Sorry about the delay!

Glad you were joking, cause I was always below average in wheelie. My friends did a lot better than me

I am doing great. Since month 5 that I felt like I am back to normal, there are many days I don't even think about my CLL. I have been planning for my next challenges since then. They demand a lot of brain power

You changed your name a couple of times, and I got worried it had something to do with GME. I hope you did not have any negative experience with it.  Stay Safe!
