Life after a full recovery

lets say f someone s currently in the fire service or police force do you think they could fully recover for the job if they did cll?

Maybe, but if that's the career you really want I wouldn't take a chance like that.

Like MDW, I think recovery varies on an individual basis.

However, for me, I really messed up. 6 surgeries plus 3 broken bones (pre-consolidate), two nails inserted and one bent plate... I could still perform running speed at 5.5miles/hour after 6 months of recovery.

Regarding the career you mention above., I could be a police man. I could sprint and do different kicks. I could easily tackle a criminal (not to mention use firearm or taser gun). I could be a fireman. I could lift 100lb over my head and do 10 reps. My endurance is also better than most people at my gym.

However, at the moment, I don't think I can be a viable Tae Kwon Do competitor. I can't do a flying side-kick nor perform long jump. I can't dash back and forth as I use to. I can't play soccer, basketball nor footfall. But I can play hockey!

My ortho said I still have a lot of recovery left to do. It's all a matter of time but your recovery is limitless and it depends on yourself.

Is it still worth it in the end? Sure! More happy, less height neurosis, more confident and success at picking up random women in Vancouver have also increased.

Thanks for the detailed response, Smallguy! Do you see yourself being able to play soccer or basketball in the short run? Maybe within a year or so? Man, all those surgeries.. You definitely went through a lot. A family friend told me that she thought I'd have a much more difficult time with LL than I apparently did.. I'm lucky I guess, you're a warrior.

Regarding gym-going by the way, I already feel fit enough to go to the gym and do an upper body workout, swim, and do leg extension. I obviously can't run yet; it's been a week since I've been using the walker but I'm way too enthusiastic for hitting the gym again. If only I had my car.. It's still in service, getting fixed..

Yeah, this summer will be amazing for the both of us.

Before I couldn't get over my height of 5'6 so always have to wear 2.5inches insole. I had this "can't lose" attitude where I stuff as many things in my shoes as humanly possible before going to a club or meeting a superficial girl. Height was normally the biggest reason for rejection. But as you know, with lift you have to hide it by wearing long boot-cut jeans. For the past 5 years, there wasn't a summer gone by where I could wear shorts freely. It's sucks wearing thick rock & republic jeans in a 30+ degrees hot summer.

But this summer, I can wear shorts (and you too). It's a biggest break a short guy can have.

I can play soccer and basketball but will be a bit slower in movement speed. Short guys are usually quite quick with their short legs on the field. We will have to deal with our lanky limbs. But I think if you put your mind to it, then you can play these sports perfectly again. Yeah, your LL case is actually perfect. Congratulation!

Yeah take it lightly at first. Make sure your bones are consolidated well enough before exerting physical force or lift heavier weight.

Today, a girl said she liked my shorts. And I said thank you. Then as I walked away, she said to her coworker that I was hot. I was unfazed. But before I would hear comments like he was "cute" but never he was hot before. If you feel bored, I could write a visualization of your after LL experience (as I did with Sweatpants)
