For femur lengthening surgery, some flexibility tests to see if you are satisfactorily flexible.
1) Hamstring - Lie down on a PT table or something similar. Have someone raise one leg up while your leg is straight at the knee. Other leg and body stays on PT table. 90 degrees is satisfactory.
2) Quadriceps - Stand up on one leg. With the other leg, bend your leg and bring the heel next to your butt. Use your hand to hold the ankle to stretch the quad. If your heel is within 2 inches of your butt, quad flexibility is satisfactory.
3) Adductors - Sit on a floor with legs straight out and try to do a straddle split. If the angle of your legs is 100 degrees, it is satisfactory.
If you can do better than satisfactory, then you are even more flexible.

Wow that treadmill looks great! How does it feel?
Also wanted to thank you for updating the equipment list! I just went over it and it's super helpful 
Hey HJ,
when do you estimate to be off crutches and full weightbearing?

The AlterG is great. I'm actually walking with just enough weight so it is within limits of what my legs and internal nails can handle.

I estimate early November I will be on forearm crutches and early December I will be walking independently (full weight bearing on one leg).

Can you share a little bit about your decision to stop at 7cm and 3.5cm? I was trying to find it in one of your posts but not that easy 
Also, did you wait 1 year between the surgeries? Do you think you could've done it sooner?
And does he offer the simultaneously lengthening like Paley does?
