Wow bro - that is really impressive.

The muscle memory is coming back for sure.

Edit Post

yeah Simon! I can feel it too and also my flexibility and strength is better from my last Jogging video

Very impressive videos especially the soccer maneuver. Your individual effort is fast tracking your progress. Congrats thus far. Stryde gives patients the best hope to optimal recovery along with their own efforts of course.

Yesterday I felt a live again!! in my natural habitat I missed it so much 

we played against some teenagers lol they were decent and I was the goalie because I'm pretty slow still and cant kick the ball nowhere as hard as I was able to pre surgery I'm at like 20% power right now it feels like lol and I was getting scored on between my legs pretty easily haha they're too long now so it leaves a gap open; I felt like I was sluggish and couldn't move as agile as I used to and it was a bit frustrating but I got to have patience and I was honestly just very happy that I had my soccer cleats on and I was kicking a ball around after so long! right leg feels pretty strong and painless, left leg is still a bit painful every time I'd kick the ball I'd feel a sting by my bone break site I think. but happy to be here at 5 months 3 weeks.

Bro you look in great shape - you will get that strength back slowly trust me.

Who is your team btw?

Hey!

A very inspiring story my friend.  I just got a question to ask ya.  When you talked to Dr. M, did he mention anything about quadrilateral lengthening?  Tbh with you, I'd really rather not do a large lengthening on one segment due to proportions issues (it's just something that I care about).  Do you know how the recovery process may differ between the two?

Thanks!

Dang homie your in great shape! I still havent even got the chsnce to put my cleats back on. Its been like 3 years since i have:(
Im sure if i wouldve never got drop foot i would be close to your level but that slowed my recovery down by a lot!

Im getting all 4 nails out by the end of this month though! Already have my surgery date and plane ticket ready and seeing this video just gave me huge hope!! Your an inspiration honestly! Keep it up👍🏽

SimonFuller: Thanks Simon for the constant support! yeah working towards getting the strength and flexibility back fast & my team as in the team I support? Barcelona always have been since Ronaldinho era I must've been 8 years old and ever since Barca has been my team.

TTS: No he didn't, but I wouldn't be able to tell you bro, it's better if you speak to one of the Doctors that do this about that.

Jim: Thanks bro! right on bro but you did two segments so that's probably why dang that's awesome bro! I'm going to PM you check DM's

Quote from: Movie on November 07, 2019, 03:10:12 AMBoneStretching: Thanks bro! Appreciate it, yeah bro last cm is tough, I had to take a 48 hour break from distracting at like 7.2CM it was becoming pretty painful, after that it wasn't that bad, I think the thrill of seeing how close I was to finishing kept me going and pushing through the pain but let me tell you, 3 days after not distracting I feel better already haha. you got this!

LittleLA: thanks bro bro, if you live in LA why would you want to go to Paley? lol doing LL in your hometown being able to be around your family and friends (if they know about your procedure it's easier I only told my closest friends and they keep it private) and going to places you're familiar with while doing LL, I feel like that was a big part to my sanity while distracting, besides mahboubian has better pricing & you won't be having to pay extra housing, just stay at your place lol

1) I've been doing pull ups, push ups here and there already I'd say I started doing that around 6CMs distracted
2) original plan was to do tibias as well but I'm happy now at 5'9 with the 3" jump, yes it's very noticeable I don't feel short af anymore. and my body looks more proportionate with my longer legs because I had a longish torso but short ass legs. also I want to play soccer again asap so that's it for me.

Update: guys 3 days after distracting I already feel improvements, call me crazy but I really do. today I went to the mall with my girlfriend and I was practicing my gait and at one point I was walking towards a mirror and I looked at myself and my gait must've looked at least 90% normal and I wasn't feeling much pain or fatigue at the mall even though we walked a decent amount. I'm excited for the months to come of healing can't wait to get back to running/soccer/gym

here's pics of my last xrays yesterday check out the callous lol : https://imgur.com/a/XXgTafU



How Do You even pay 75-80k for the surgeries. I Have messaged Mahboubian on Instagram and he said it’s possibly to get help if you have a good credit score or Care Credit. But I’m still confused. As I’m thinking of doing femurs plus the tibia and gain atleast 4 inches since rn I’m at 5 ft 3 with shoes on which is basically 160cm. I want to get the surgery done before I’m 25,26 if possible as I don’t want to wait too long. I’m 18 rn training to be a chef, living in the UK. Chef pay in the UK is 20-25k per year maybe less, maybe more. Going to save every penny once I start working but even with that I think it’ll take more then 5 years to save up 140k since I want to do two surgeries. Please reply if you know how care credit works and how you managed to save up the money, Thank You. Hope you heal fully, All Love

You can always build your credit, and then fill for bankruptcy.
Its not like they're gonna come back and take your legs as collateral
