Nameless: Thanks bro! yes sir! god willing, best wishes on your endeavor with CLL
Yeah man if you're doing it very soon let me know we can facetime and do PT together like gustav did with me.
Great updates Movie. Hats off to you on your discipline and hard work so far. Super motivational to see your progress with 2 legs a month+ in to this. Since I’m doing only 1 leg my early challenges are lessened...but the detail of the lengthening are super applicable for me. Keep up the great work, I know you’ll hit your goal.

Thanks man!
Sadly, due to my job and a couple of things my doctor need to finish regarding the hospital in Ukraine, it looks like it's going to happen in 2-3 months from now.
I'm sure you'll be running by then. 
Movie - how are you doing bud - are you at the point where you are just settling back into normal life again?

Simon what's up bro I'm doing good, and I've passed that point since about 2 or three weeks ago, since I've been driving around and going out to eat or things like that, I was pretty much back to normal life except with crutches as if I was injured.
Damn bro that's fantastic, it's barely been a month or just a little over, and you're already out and about on crutches. Fantastic progress!!
Movie - did you do a lot of stretching before the surgery?

almost two months yeah! thanks actually yesterday was my first time going out without crutches (because I knew there wasn't much walking to do) to go eat with a very good friend of mine that I haven't seen since before the surgery and he knows about my surgery so it was funny for both of us to see the difference, I used to look up to him slightly and now he looks up slightly at me in terms of height of course. 4.5CM really does make a difference lol.
I would play soccer about 2-3 times a week and I'd stretch a bit before the games... Mahboubian said I had above average flexibility and that It'd be a "walk in the park" for me in terms of flexibility hahaha and right now I'm pretty tight haha but I just keep stretching a little all through out the day I don't spend one full hour dedicated to stretching and PT, instead I just stretch whenever I remember for about 5 minutes multiple times a day and walk unassisted to whatever I have to do in my day, go up my stairs and down ETC.

Same. I think PT in terms of stretching is a bit overrated. It's a losing battle. My flexibility was terrible pre-op, I couldn't even touch my toes. Most of the PT I do is walking and trying to bend my knees, and trying to improve my gait whether it be on walker or crutches.
I do have good hips, and strong legs from years of training so maybe that's helped.
Thanks for the responses Movie and EZ!
I agree EZ it's a bit overrated, I think the best PT is walking weather assisted or even better unassisted once you're able to during this process, my gait has Improved lately my hips have gotten stronger from all the unassisted walking and going up/down stairs I do, It's looking a little more normal and less like a penguin now, I consciously tried to figure out how I can combat against the penguin sways and little by little I started walking a little more normal, It's still a work in progress but I felt it was good enough to go out without my crutches in public as I mentioned a few days ago and not feel too embarrassed about my walk.
