Thank you for sharing ...it really gave me two Cs - Courage and Confidence!
Wish you all the best, RB
Hope all is well in Down Under, you are recovering as well as you used to and perhaps have even reached your goal by now 
90 days post-surgery - 7.1cm taller
And the lengthening journey has finally come to an end! Today I did my last clicks to exceed my pre-surgery goal of 7cm, ending with roughly 7.1cm of distracted height according to my lengthening sheet. I debated whether I should continue to 8 or even 7.5, but I am incredibly happy with 7.1, my height neurosis is essentially gone (and I'm not even fully recovered) and I don't want to unnecessarily extend my recovery timeline as from 6.5cm onwards, things have started to become much harder. I also believe that 7cm is the perfect sweet spot for femur lengthening as you are getting a great return on investment, while being a little safer and beneficial for athletic recovery than 8cm+. While you are lengthening, there are days where it seems like you will never reach the day when you hit your goal, but the day does come and wow does it feel great! 
It has been an incredibly tough and rewarding journey and I will go into the psychological aspect/impact in more detail in a future post. I'd like to thank all of you guys for following my diary and for your support and encouragement. I will be getting an x-ray tomorrow so I may have to a few clicks here and there if there is any discrepancy. For now, my main goal is recovery - being able to walk normally again and getting rid of this pesky duck ass is my top priority lol.
As always, feel free to ask any questions.

That is fantastic to hear I am glad it was relatively smooth for you so far and hope it will continue this way.
What is your new height now?

Thanks man appreciate the support!
I haven’t officially measured since duck ass would be taking some height away but prior to surgery I measured exactly 163 in the afternoon so if my lengthening is accurate, once I improve my posture I should be roughly 170.1cm
Wow, I was eagerly waiting for this update from you
I am happy that your height neurosis is at bay now! Overall, I felt you had a smooth experience and I am glad of it.
The tough part is done! Going forward, I wish you the best of luck for the consolidation phase.
This is fantastic news! Great to hear about the positive outcome.
I know the process must have felt like forever for you, but I've followed this diary from the first post, and it seems you've completed in no time at all!
Good luck with consolidation and getting back to normal.
Congrats RB!
