What's the problem if you cover your face? Why even write a diary if not showing the way it really is?

Your starting height at 173cm was 6cm higher than dozers. Proportionally you have a bigger everything than he does. Yet he has lengthened more than
you will even if you do femurs. I think it's pretty obvious why the proportions pics won't be forthcoming

If i remember correctly his sitting height was not even 90cm.My sitting height is roughly 93-94 and im just 173.He will be shorter than me when we sit but when we stand up can you imagine what it will be like? seriously.. 
There is a thread here from a Dr. who tracked his patients recovery. His results were that after 5cm´s the athletic recovery goes down to 60-70% of the pre op level. So at 10cm´s+ the likely hood of a recovery over 50% is very low and probably below this.
The only way of getting back to 100% (if it´s even possible) is by staying below the 5cm mark. An orthopaedic surgeon (who uses the fitbone) I have spoken to even said that he can´t imagine anyone recovering completely after 2-3cm´s.

Exactly. It's impossible to ever recover to 100%

I reached my fully physical potential in my twenties and I can tell that I'm around 45-50% of my potential.
Maybe this is as good as it gets. Don't know, but my broken foot has hindered me the most. =(

Do you think if you lengthened 4-5 cm instead of 7, it could have been better ?
Could you walk normally and jog ?

Started working on my knee ROM. Already seeing some progress because I'm going full HAM. My method is:
1. Take some painkillers (the more the better)
2. Sit on a chair while browsing the internet and just let your leg hang with your slippers/shoes/boots (boots later on)
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

Also don't forget to extend your knee from time to time.

Alternative is lying around browsing the internet and placing your leg on your other flexed leg.

Well, I have full knee ROM now in both legs. Ankle ROM also improved quite a bit, but I still feel stiffness in the mornings. Walking is fine, but anything more than that - meh. I feel like I would need another 2 years to recover "fully". I've put AL on hold for now, have to deal with some RL things.

How are you dozer?

Edit Post

Fine. I have full ROM now both in my knees and ankles. Legs are straight. I don't feel soft tissues stretching anymore in the mornings. I use the stairs much more comfortably now. My gait has improved a LOT. Squats are also much easier now. Still there's a way to go. Well being honest, I'm quite lazy with my "training program" which consists of me sitting behind my pc 24/7. Well I work in IT and also most of my entertainment comes from it so... I'm quite impressed with the results considering I give like nothing. Definitely need to walk more. Breath some air ya know. Will do.
