All is fine currently, yes, I had to stretch my flexors (soles, gastrocnemius etc.), but I didn't need ATL. I don't know the date of my stryde surgery yet, because after the corrective surgery I have to work on my left ankle a lot (quite stiff), and I think it will take a lot of time in terms of flexibility. I'll do my X-ray soon, and Giotikas will let me know how far I'm from frame removal.

How is the personal side of Dr Giotikas? He smiles a lot? Is he kind, loveable, friendly, sweet and polite?

In one word, responsible. It is a quite good feeling, when you face many hard situations in this journey. He has a good personality.

Just a small update: guys it seems, that in the next month the fixateur will be dynamised (loosen the struts, and putting weight on my legs gradually), and the removed from my legs. According to my X-rays due to yesterday there's a quite strong bone already, where it was only callus before. My overall mobility increased a lot in the last 2 weeks, walking, climbing stairs with grip is already working. Cheers

Could you please post your xrays? I want to compare it with mine so to gauge if my callous are hard enough.
