Congratulation! 63 mm is a great length. I hope your have a great recovery. We would love to hear more great news from you in the coming months.
hey bigdreams
wondering if you're eating anything special or doing any special exercises for bone formation and stimulation. was always curious about paley having patients take a silical supplement while rozbruch just does vitamin d, calcium, etc
@bigdreams55
Could you post a breakdown of cost here? I'm really curious which parts are coverable by insurance. Thank you so much.

Not doing anything special, just eating a lot, calcium + vitamin d and walking and standing.
The common factors that impede natural bone healing are tobacco use, arthiritis medication, obesity, diabetes, infections and/or bad diet and nutrition. I dont have any of these factors, so I'm hoping i will have natural bone growth and healing without needing any special equipment (exogen for example).

Hospital bill was covered by insurance, cost was $120K, I paid about $1k (including deductible).
Rozbruch's surgeon bill was ~$80k, insurance only covered about $5k, $75k out of pocket
sorry to bug you with the specificity but when you get a moment i'd love a breakdown of a typical day of eating and how many calories approximately
Hi bigdreams55,
Everything continuing to progress ok with your consolidation ? How are you feeling ?
Wishing you well!
Hey LAGrowin,
Consolidation has been good, I've forgotten completely what the pain of lengthening was like. I guess while you're going through lengthening, the pain is constantly on your mind but not so much once in consolidating.
Just hoping to be cleared to walk unaided soon.

That's awesome for you bigdreams. so happy to hear that. I'm at that point now where I'm sitting in bed at 3:30 AM wondering if I should continue, so this is definitely great to hear. My knees hurt so bad at night especially. It scares me a little to think I am doing permanent damage. Everyone tells me it will go away once I stop lengthening. I have 3 more days until I hit 7 CM.
Wishing you the best and hoping to hear your good news that you are clear to walk unassisted! I'm right behind you! Please keep us posted.
Thank you!
slow down and you will definitely hit 8 cm 
Dont give up , you're almost there!
