What's your weight and what nail diameter they used on you?

I find it very hard to get a good picture of what LL is like. 8/10 pain, taking meds every day, walking up and down stairs, going to soccer games and movies. I can't decide if it's easy or difficult 

You killin' it man Movie. Can't wait for the next vlog

Michael: started at 154Lbs now I'm 145LBs and going up, lowest point was 142LBs a couple weeks ago. I think I got the medium sized nail.

cena: for me it only hit 8/10 pain once lol, meds yeah they have been everyday minus a day or two around 2.5CMs I felt the best really, no more post surgery trauma pain, and not stretched enough to start dealing with soft tissue pains and nerve pains etc, but other than that It's no walk in the park but it's not difficult to go on about your day either, maybe it's a mentality thing, it's not hard for me because my days go by fast thankfully lol with friends, my gf and stuff it just goes by quick when you're having a good time. Thanks Cena next vlog coming soon when I hit 6CMs

Hey Movie, what happened with that anesthesia bill? Did you end up paying that?

Edit Post

I'm procrastinating on that but I will end up paying it soon, I just have to hit the bank and deposit

Update:

Hit 6 CMs guys! just showing you guys my gait now and stuff. Enjoy

PS shouldn't be jogging cause my bones are obviously not consolidated, but just to show a little something haha, and I step lightly on the jog so I know I'm safe within the weight baring limits

Movie,

That is amazing.  I'd say you're easily about 6-8 weeks ahead of where I was with regard to gait and overall mobility at this point.   By the way; I plan to update my thread soon, but all is well. I'm 9 months completed since my surgery was in early 2019 and life is back to normal.  Running and agility continue to improve, but at the 9 months down point, I'm really able to enjoy life fully again and my gait is back to normal.  I'd say for me, I felt fairly normal again by month 6.   

Note for the community - Movie, I believe you were fairly active with your legs before CLL? Played Soccer regularly, etc?  If any of you are planning to go forward with CLL, I have realized that many of the active, strong-legged individuals out there with strong flexibility do REALLY well with CLL and are already moving quite well after only 2-3 months.   Myself, I was not active with my legs and had very average flexibility and I believe that caused me to have to wait another good 1-2 months before I could be comfortable with walking and mobility overall.   Fruit for thought.   

Movie, Keep up the great work! and We're all looking forward to seeing more! Proportions looks great.

I can tell you what I did don't know if it's good advice for you though, I just went up and down the stairs holding on to the rail and as days went by I started letting my legs to more and more work until I finally felt like my legs could do it all, and tried it... going downstairs is harder thought took me like a month extra to go downstairs unassisted but now I can do it, it looks easier than it actually is in my video
