Day 38: Started standing against the wall since yesterday. However, today's standing was much better and longer. While standing against the wall legs were 98% - 99% weight bearing (taking into factor the wall support).

Sure man, you are most welcome. I am glad to meet you over the forum and will be even more delighted to meet you in person. See you soon. Take care. 
how can I contact your surgeon or harry? Is there a number? I can't find it anywhere. Can you dm me or post it here?
Day 39: Today was better. While standing, I lifted my walker completely in the air so technically I was 100% weight bearing on my legs. However, Harry instructed me to use the walker support to avoid the case of pin bending. This time the walking was better as instead of dragging the walker I was lifting it up and then stepping forward, so it was much smoother. I wanted to try little bit of independent walking with frames on but there was some pain due to jerk while lifting the leg up. Also, Harry denied putting too much pressure on the frame, so I guess that'll have to wait. Overall, both feet are feeling tighter and take a few seconds to touch base.
Day 41: The happiness didn't last long. Today was bad, experienced swelling around the pin site closer to knee on the left leg. Due to this, it was painful to bend the knee and even painful when releasing the leg back to 180 degree straight. Harry said it was due to excessive weight bearing on the legs (Day 39) which had put pressure on the pins irritating the surrounding muscles therefore, causing the region to swell.
Day 42: No improvement in the swelling, I took my first painkiller in this journey so far (breaking the vow to myself). Some of the pain is also 'coz of pin tearing the skin. Harry said this is normal and shall go away in 2-3 days. I hope he is right as the pain level is very high, especially when moving the leg. I don't want to take any more pain killers.
Day 43: Today swelling is relieved, pain is much better and I am able to bend the knee. I did a lot of icing on the swelled region, also I took one anti-inflammatory. Harry suggested one more day of rest, will resume standing from tomorrow onwards. Although, I get a feeling that I can stand independently and even walk with some effort, but it is important not to rush, weight bear more responsibly on the frames and stay focused on the ultimate goal.

You can reach them on +91-9560867721 (WhatsApp); email: [email protected]
Day 44: Had to take another painkiller, pain relief noted earlier was due to painkiller. Harry cleaned the pin sites. Hope swelling comes down in1-2 days.
Day 46: Today Dr. paid a visit, he checked my legs and everything was ok. According to the doctor, swelling was due to some liquid collected at the site of pin cut / tear. Harry pricked the site to release the fluid. Now I feel much better. ROM has also improved. Started doing little exercises. Hoping to get out of these frames as soon as possible.
Day 47: Today I resumed my exercises - standing with walker, standing against the wall, etc. For some reason I don’t know my left leg feels comparatively more stiff than the right.
Already told you about left leg. You believe or not its upto you.

What you mentioned me earlier was something about tibial torsion which was medically wrong and completely out of the curriculum (not even related to LL). I also borrowed second opinion on that to be extra diligent.
What I mentioned in my recent post was that I feel my left leg relatively more stiff than the right, which I believe is common for most patients while they are in the frames. According to the Dr., this will subside as I remove the frame.
Request you not to twist the facts to force your invalid logics. Incase you want some clarification for your own personal knowledge you can contact my medical team on the number I mentioned in my earlier post, I am sure they will be happy to help.
Plus, I am curious to know - are you doctor, prospective patient, or a vetran LL'r??
A video from my PT session shot day before yesterday. This is me walking in frames using walker.
