Thanks buddies. I m doing well. My condition was the same as my last update plus I m enjoying my moments of less stress, tightness and stretching exercises. During distraction I turned 4 times a day so I did my exercises 3 times daily, 2 to 3 hours each sessions. Now it's off my shoulder but I still do my daily stretches. And I use my crutches alot. I go out sometimes and try to love my life in frames becoz I might stay in them longer than planned.
I will meet my dr on the 10th.  We'll discuss about the next surgery.  I m still worried about losing my cms and my alignment thing during that surgery.

Thanks,. you two.
Four months anniversary! Went to see my doctor today. We discussed mainly about that re-shortening thing and misalignment. He answered my questions with passion and explained me about the surgical methods that could be used during the nailing procedure.  He instructed me to  stimulate the callus with turning back and forth one week after another. It's like starting from tomorrow I have to rewind my turns twice a day for a week (about 4 mms) then get them back to last distraction the next week and go on. Its quite a relief that my doubts and worries have gone down, not totally but much relieved after our discussion. 

I have been going out quite alot and enjoying my consolidation with the best I can, like keeping myself busy with the things I love to do and rehabilitation of course. When I go out or meet my friends, I feel sooooo verrry happy with my new height that everytime I stand up, I feel like I was reborn again. There is no more fear that people would see my ugliness and feeling small that I just wanted to shrank more and disappear. I feel awesome.

I still go to rehab center three to four times a week and I do my daily stretches at home. My doctor told me to work on my knee bending more, as much as I could. I was left with about 25' with my last distraction. Up to now I gain back about 10' so my knee Roms are around 35' at the moment.

You look great. You have done a very good amount of lengthening. You are a true LL warrior. Now enjoy the recovery and work hard to get all your ROM back.

Congratulation on a successful leg lengthening journey.

Stick to physical therapy and you'll be fine.
