well I wont lie. it does scare me. I have decided that 11cm is worth a decrease in ability if it happens. however the brain is capable of many things, a person can influence the outcome.

As far as I know there is only one record of someone recovering completely -that is he doesn't feel any worse whatsoever after the surgery. That's Shyshy, he did 7-8CM femur with Guichet and he claims (and has more or less shown) that he is just as fast, agile and athletic as he was before the surgery.
Everyone else has had more or less permanent damage to their bodies. MDoW told me he can't run very far nowadays and his knees hurt, OBG is slower than he used to be and seemed to peak at a 70-80% recovery rate -his own words-, Sweden has often claimed his muscles have been severly damaged etc etc.
So, while I believe that a complete recovery is possible, I think it's very unlikely and we should all expect to have a weaker -if taller- body when all is said and done.

the key is this.
dwarfts are capable of lengthening 20cm because from a genetic standpoint they have long muscles on short limbs.
if you have genetically long muscles but short long bones dues to not achieving your full potential during puberty, then you are much more likely to get through this with retaining your athletic potential.
I believe this to be the case with me. but yes many people do not retain their athletic potential. statistical analysis states that it is far more likely to loose athletic potential. which is even more reason to stay in the safe zone.

I also believe that you need to go at the rate of lengthening that mimics puberty.
i am lengthening at 0.66 per day, and 0.5mm per day. i never went above this, i did 0.66 for the first 2.5cm-3cm, and then 0.5mm for the rest.
