I'm glad of your speedy recovery. I have some questions because I am in the process of distraction and I want to know if I am on the right track ...
Now I have 6 cm long and I want to reach 8 cm.
By the way, I'm also an athlete and I've lost all the muscle in my ass ... I think it's inevitable ...
Hi FSchez,
Thanks. In my case, I got my ass back almost as quickly as I lost it!! and even better, thanks to the stretching and walking I believe my ass and legs are heavier and stronger 
so no worries, you'll get it back soon during consolidation!

The last few days I have started to feel discomfort in my knees and hips from trying to walk with my legs together and my back straight.
During the end of the distraction, could you walk with your back completely straight? I try to walk without putting my ass out, but it seems almost impossible to do so and if I try to walk with my back straight my legs separate and my lower back hurts ...
Do you have any advice for me?
Thanks!!
I could always walk with my back straight, however overall the gait looked very strange. I don't think you should worry about it. As long as your doctor is okay with it, then just continue to do as much stretching as you can. There would be exponential improvement during consolidation.

Sun., April 4: Day 3 Post-Nail Removal - Day 255 (8 months and 12 days) Post-CLL - Marking the official end of my CLL Challenge
I felt the improvement was exponential today from morning to night. By the evening time, I felt very confident that there was no chance my femurs or old screw areas would fracture, while walking. That allowed me to bring my gait to a 100% and walk fast. I have recorded a video of the evening walk and I'll post it soon. I overall walked for 3.7 miles today. By evening, I felt like I was back to my normal me like in pre-NailRemoval, or Pre-CLL times.
Per post-surgery instructions, I removed the bandages and took a shower for the first time since the surgery day. The cuts seem to have healed much faster this time (than post-CLL).

Can't wait for you to post that video!
Kind request....
Please dont stop reporting ever.....
Not daily, bt say weekly?
A video per week?
This is the video of my Day 3 Post-Nail-Removal (also Day 255 Post-CLL). Sorry the quality of video is not that great, but I hope gait is visible enough:
Towards the end I show my daily walks. Day 3 post-removal: 3 miles (I ended up going 3.7 miles by the end of the day), Day 2: 1.8 miles, Day 1: 1.8, Stryde-Removal Day: 0.8 miles and a few before the surgery which averaged in 2021 as 6.1 miles.
Mon., April 12: Day 11 Post-Nail Removal - Day 263 (8 months and 20 days) Post-CLL
Per Dr. M.'s approval I have started soft jogging. This is a video of my slow jogging and walking, I took 11 days after Stryde removal:
I think the level (in terms of speed, strength and confidence) I am currently at, is similar to December 2020 times (Month 4 post-CLL). I hope to quickly get to my pre-stryde-removal time in March and hopefully better.

Thank you very much for responding so soon!!
I hope that one day soon I can regain my walking and my leg muscles. I would be very happy if I recover as fast as you, although I know that it is very difficult I will try, I also like challenges, I am quite competitive ... 
By the way, it seems incredible that you had surgery less than a year ago after seeing the video running after the extraction of your nails ...
Good job my friend !!
Looking excellent for 11 day post removal! small swaying on hips with the jog but that's to be expected walk is good 100% though normal people probably wouldn't suspect a thing on your gait at this stage, incredible
