update.
I have been back at home for over a month now and am doing better everyday. I have been trying to work on walking normal. I try to walk about 2 miles a day to help with this.
PTAL surgery
My achilles is getting stronger as well but if I use it a lot it gets sore easily. I can lift my heals off of the ground completely which was impossible for me to do just one month ago. Walking upstairs is not much of a problem but going downstairs is difficult. I am not sure why it is so much harder to walk downstairs but it will improve as well. I think you have to have a lot more strength and balance to walk downstairs.
People noticing
It is crazy because no one really notices but I can tell I am so much taller compared to them than I was. It makes me feel good but it is also strange no one notices. I hadn't seen anyone for at least six months so that may have contributed to it.
Last night my friend finally commented on my height and just said that I had grown and was the same height as him now. He seemed to have recognized it but never said anything to me about it.
I go out a lot and go to parties which is a lot of fun. It is great to be back to life and I really have tried to make the best out of it. I used to just think about height so much that I sometimes wouldn't do as much as I should have. I have been trying to find opportunities to meet people. Especially girls 
I am not naturally a partier so soon I will try to go back to school and have a career that I can focus on. I am excited for that.
Would I do it again?
Yes! It has been great to be taller and I just feel like I am in a good range of heights for me. With that being said do not go into this thinking that the height will completely change everything. In my opinion, it won't. We are basically, as people, who we are. I think that the height has helped me especially psychologically but I think we would probably gain more by enhancing are strengths rather than focusing on our weaknesses, but I could be wrong.
Sorry for never updating but I never get on here anymore because it can mess with you and it is better just not to think about it. I sometimes catch myself thinking it would be nice to have more height and so it is best not to think about it. I hope this helps someone out. Hopefully everyone I have met on this forum is doing well and figuring out what is best for them.

Happy to hear that you are happy.
But please keep pdate at least once a month or once a year's quarter .we still want to know how it is going?
Wow! Good for you! Now that your 176CM, you are exactly average height in the United States! That's pretty sweet 
I'm so glad to hear that it's all been worthwhile!
Good to know you're happy with your results and are getting back to normal life. Seems like CLL really benefited you.

hello, ive Been reading your diary and its Good to know youre doing Well right now.
i am planning to do my LL This year and im trying to Get a hold on Dr. Inan as Well as he is on my top list Bec of the price and he seems to be really skilled as Well. is there any way i could contact him besides the email contact thats provided on his profile on This forum? thank you
Hey everybody.
I just thought I would tell everyone I am doing fine and have taken huge strides the last couple of months in my recovery. I feel about like I did before the surgery when I walk. I really don't even think about the surgery or anything anymore. It has been 13 months since I had the surgery I haven't attempted to run or do anything like that yet. I have some numbness on the outside of my right leg which is strange but I think that it will be okay.
I realize now why people don't get on here after the surgery because its just something that I don't think about as much anymore. I know for sure that it is possible to get the surgery and recover fully now. Before the surgery I wondered if this was all too good to be true. No one ever has questioned my proportions or anything like that. I am sorry this update is brief but I really don't like coming on here. I just thought it would be good to tell everyone that I am doing well and hopefully everyone on here fulfills there wishes. I have also been thinking about doing femurs next in a few years. We will see.
Hey Trailblazer,
How are you doing? Can you update your diary?
