Quote from: Johnson1111 on June 26, 2018, 12:51:51 AMI am an elite athlete in every sense of the word and I always was. I think about how my athleticism is gonna be messed up every single day. Too bad, sucks for me...Cuz i'm getting LL. I might even do two segments.
I live one life, I make the decisions I do, then I die. I had a time where I was a great athlete, now I can retire that (although devastating at such a young age as i'm even several years younger than you) and now I can live being an above average in height person.
Perfect example of not being able to have the cake and eat it too. Although it's completely and utterly false because nature gave many people cakes that they can eat too and they have the best of every world.
You only can't have the cake and eat it too when you're given shxt genetics. I am not thankful or grateful for the natural athleticism I was given. No matter what....Short = Bad genetics. I excelled DESPITE my limitations, not because of them.
I've been done with that "thankful" attitude for a while now.
I'll do two segments and then i'll recover to MAYBE 60% of my former athleticism after a couple years. But hey, "At least i'll be able to walk, there are people out there who are crippled somewhere that i've never met!!"
Yeah I'm not retiring my athleticism. I've never been close to my peak. And my shortness didn't stem from genetics but my own fault for stunting my height. So be grateful if you had bad genetics because you have nothing to regret about now.
By the way, 60% sounds so pessimistic. I really hope it won't be the case for me.

LL is made for people who are willing to compromise a significant amount of their atheltic ability.
I truly hope it's not a significant amount as you said. Maybe I will be willing to give up 5%. Most of the doctors I interracted with said we can go back to previous level or at least close to it. But even if I lose either way, I most likely will use the height more often than I do athleticism, so it still could be worth it.
