Hi lumiere,
happy to read tomorrow is your great day. Please, post your pics when you will have your frames off.
Touch wood, everything's gonna be ok
Congrats on your LL journey! I hope you will stick around to give us recovery updates on the long term!
Hi,
i had my frames off. I'm now wearing casts similar to soccer shin guards, and I have to wear those casts for a couple of months. The first two weeks using cruches too, no cruches and just casts from the third week. I'm really scared of walking without ilizarov, because I saw my x-rays and the new bone in the gap is not as "white" as the other bone.
My tibiae look pretty long, but the effect is not that bad, I look kind of slender. I measured myself this morning, I am 172 tall, so I would say that I am 171/172.
I am satisfied of the result. I will post some picture in a couple of day.
Keep in touch,
Lumiere
Hi.
Congrats lumiere ) I'm glad to hear that you're satisfied of the result. It is the main thing.
Hey lumiere,
how are your legs? Can you walk with crutches?
You are very lucky, no complication during your adventure. Does the total cost cover unexpected surgeries?
Hope you are fine, my friend 
Hi Oniria!
Everything is going well, I have no pain at all and I can walk pretty normally, with crutches just to not overload my "new" legs.
I'm not posting a picture because I'm waiting to be allowed to stand without protection casts, but I will do it soon.
I think that, if complications would occour, surgeries would be payed by italian public healt service, but I'm not sure of that because I fortunally didn't have that need.
I'll keep you informed once I have relevant news
Lumiere
Hi,
as I promise, this is a picture of me without the casts I'm wearing:
I have my last consultation in the middle of december, after that I think I'll be allowed to walk without casts.
You look great 
Lumiere,
I started my journey same time you have yours and I have not yet taken my frame off. I did 8cm, I have little bit of umbrella I can walk without assistance and it has been 9 months. I will start a diary soon. I was hoping that you can post your X ray Before you took your frame off so I can compare my xray before I take mine off.
My xray took at 7.5 months. Next xray will be at 9.5 months.
