You think your pain and stiffnes will go away in time? I mostly ask because you recover pretty quickly and nicely.

Anyways glad that you update, good luck.

When I first came back from Florida- and in the absence of daily therapy- I was in horrible shape.  I could only stand on my tip toes and my knees could not get close to being straight.  But stretching fixed all of that, and now I have made so much progress that it's hard to believe I won't make a full recovery.  I just need to be more diligent about stretching my ankles because that seems to be the source of my morning stiffness.  Part of what helped me recover so quickly was wearing flat flat shoes because even sneakers allow you to cheat by having your heel off the ground.  If I wear even an inch heel my walking is instantly more comfortable but walking with flats allows you to feel any imbalances and fine tune your walking until it is perfect.  These are the shoes I use http://www.hm.com/us/product/46078?article=46078-A

I understand Apotheosis harmed people as a result of his actions but I don't agree with bashing his looks.

Harmed is a nice way of saying "got the crippled for life"...
 But yeah... I agree that the talk on his looks is idiotic... Especially since the guy is good looking... I dont know...

 Best of luck Iamready! Your diary was one of if not the most informative on this forum. Thanks alot for everything and enjoy your new height for the rest of your life!

I absolutely agree, I was merely explaining that he has enemies whereas no one has a reason to go after you.

I understand why you want to protect your privacy though, some people can be pretty hateful especially when they can hide behind anonymity

Thanks Krp1.  I appreciate the comment.
Peaceout and Willsa.  My leg recovery is actually going great.  I was working out my legs everyday until I began my humerus surgery and surprisingly, since resting my legs from working out, they feel amazing and almost all my tightness in my ankles is gone.  The only barrier I had from feeling great before was when I would wake up or get up from sitting a long time I would have to stand for a few seconds to alleviate the tightness in my ankles.  I no longer have that issue, and I look forward to moving onto the next phase.  Running and jumping.  I will be spending a lot of time in the pool practicing these motions and working out because I think all the hard work I was doing on land was having a detrimental effect on my progress.

apoxyomenos I will respond to your questions in a pm if you don't mind.

I met with Dr. Paley today and there is good news for people interested in tibia lengthening.  It seems that now when they lengthen the tibia they insert an additional rod?/nail in the fibula and fixate it better to the tibia.  I don't have the exact details so forgive me if I didn't phrase it correctly but they have improved their process to prevent any complications- which is always a good thing.

What about the full weight  bearing nail that Elipse will put in the market soon? Have you any update? That nail is still Precice2 but almost full weight bearing.
