It has been worth it, despite the immense physical time and monetary costs. However there are some who would have been devastated/ruined by the insane down time, so as I always say prepared for the absolute worst.
Installing height- Programdude's Precice 2 Internal femurs with Dr. Paley
A lot of Paley femur patients when you were there. You mentioned several consolidated faster than you and were walking soon after that right? Do you know anyone who actually was back to sports, not just jogging a few miles, but like playing soccer or skiing after only 6-8 months? That would be nice and it's a goal of mine, but one I'm starting to think is only for a lucky few despite my rehab being off to a good start in most ways.
The ones I'm aware of who play some level of sports(not professional), only did 6 or so CM. Thats not to say it isnt possible with more, just that those are the people I know who played sports.
At the beginning you said that you were almost 5 8", exactly were you 172 cm( some mm less than 5 8")?
A little doubt
Measurements varied beforehand. Some said 5 8, others said slightly below. So my exact starting isnt known. but it was 5 8 tops

If that's honestly your goal, you better be stretching 30min - 1 hr a day and that doesn't include leg work outs.

True that

It's been a long time since your LL. Do you still find you need to stretch daily?
Theres some tightness in my right leg in particular sometimes, but I havent felt that need for a longgggg time. I could go weeks without stretching if I really wanted to without any real issues.

1- whats the real cause of fracture you had? it suppose to be fully consolidate and Paley gave you green light right?
2- Do you think the accident is the reason you're not fully recovered yet?
3- should you stretch for ever after fully recovered? or you can stop it like a normal person again?
