Not the stuff I was during lengthening, but I eat three to four times what a normal person would eat, including lots of calcium sources, vitamin d supplementation, and other nutrient rich foods. Also I work out legs hard which should be stimulating growth more.
So, good news, turns out my bones actually are good enough for rod removal.
Congrats, man!
Yahoo! Good stuff
When are u doing it and who with?
Dr R says he can do it through insurance. So him! Theres a girl there I can stay with so parking should be my only expense! 
Very happy if it all pans out.

That's awesome. So insurance will cover rod removal for a surgery it wouldn't pay for initially?
From my talks with dr. R yes
So what is the post-op recovery time that you're looking at PD? Your LL journey is at its close, once these rods are out it'll be smooth-sailing(hopefully) back to 100%. How does it feel now that you're almost done?
It feels good. But I won't be totally optimistic till the rods are out and actually covered by insurance. Once they are out I think I will basically be at full capacity a month after(figure I will lose a slight bit of muscle after removal). My jogging is a lot better now, but still very poor endurance. Legs are filling in etc. very nicely considering. I am confident the clicking in my right hip is a result of the rod, so with that gone I will be pretty happy.
Great to hear that you are getting the rods removed. Are you going to a different doc for removal? You've been mentioning Dr. R...are you not getting the removal done by Paley?
Congrats again!
