Day 63 Update:
I was bragging to Dr. Jamal about my stepping machine progress. I reached 20 minutes 3 times a day in no time. So an hour every day.
He advised me to change my approach a little bit. Instead of putting many minutes in one shot with long breaks in-between, he would rather see me spreading the exercise in 2-5 minutes intervals from morning to evening. He told me to step on the machine for example every hour and give it 2-3 minutes. To keep my legs regularly active on the machine without long breaks. And from time to time give it 10 minutes or more. So I will follow this advice.
He examined my legs and advised me to not click the right leg for couple of days. I should still continue with left leg and give right leg a small break.
Right leg became a bit "heavy" and tense lately. My right knee is bending and the hamstrings muscles feel like a piece of stone. So I will give the right leg some peace for couple of days.

Hello tlannister
We did a CT scan on day 59. That's why I knew exactly my height in my earlier update. We are going for another CT scan on 2nd of July.
But I didn't post it on purpose because I don't want my head to be filled with negative energy from some of the non qualified comments from some of the members in here. This is the last thing I need while I am fighting this LL fight. I need to keep my spirit high.
Life tought me to filter away any negative energy while aiming for a goal.

Are you American, Rocky?
Do Americans call plain X-rays "CT scans" or are all these CLL doctors doing regular CT scans in the process of CLL?

Hey myloginacc
I am not American.
We have done X-Rays before but they were for rough evaluation. After crossing the 5 cm, we started with CT Scans because they are more precious. We do it based on my request and whenever the Doctor feels its time to get a feeling where we are standing. They show the gap distance from both sides of the broken bone and the length of the femur bone in total. The doctor can also rotate the bone in 3D on the screen. Its very impressive to look at.
Important
Dear members
I would kindly and sincerely ask you to not be sarcastic about others nationalities (not even religion or gender) in my diary and stick to facts within the Limb Lengthening topic. If you have something that adds value to others or myself, be my guest. If you want to ask a question for the sake of knowledge and experience sharing, you are most welcome to do so. We are here to help each others and learn from each others journey, rather than humiliating each others directly or indirectly based on our nationality or similar, etc.
There was an childish and sarcastic comment about Americans the other day, which I have ignored on purpose to not sink to a low level in the discussion. It just showed the level of immaturity of some members in here. Frankly speaking my wife who is following this diary is American and she was offended and hurt by this comment. The comment didn't add any value neither for the writer, other members or myself.
So please going forward, show some respect for other nations and be a bit mature if you want to be part of my diary and journey. Any childish behavior that is not suitable for this respectful forum and does not add any value to anyone will simply be ignored and left unanswered.
I can't force you to choose your language. But remember that your communication skills and wordings represent nothing else than your self as an individual. So for your own sake, be respectful to others to be respectful to your own individual person and as a human being.
With that said, I wish you all a successful LL journey and for those who are not there yet, I hope you will get a successful path in the future.
All respect for everyone regardless of their nationality, religion or gender from my family and myself.
May God protect and bless you all.
If she's offended maybe find her a safe space if you're a SJW worrior.
