Trust me...my posts may not seem like it, but I'm really giving this everything I've got. I would honestly be happy with anything from 172+, because that's close enough to 5'8". It all depends. I'm pushing as far as I safely can.
Knee pain acted up today. Cycling hurts my left knee, though it usually goes away after a while. Right knee hurts if I sit with my legs dangling down for too long. So freaking annoying!
So happy to be going home in just under 2 weeks. I'll have to click for a few days at home, but I think I can pull it off as I'll remain wholly committed to all the PT/exercises.
I am pulling for you, brother!
I scheduled my consultation with Dr. Paley for March 3rd.
Your diary provides consolation to me.
What do you do to occupy your free time, and escape boredom?
I'm so fuc#ing sick of this knee pain. I feel like I'm the only person who does internal femurs who feels like their knees are on fire when biking. I have the motivation to bust my ass in PT and on my own, but this pain is really draining and worrying me. Now I'll have to slow clicks again and take 500 years to (maybe) reach my goal.
Right now, I honestly wish this surgery didn't exist. I'm so damn frustrated because I'm willing to work hard, but the pain keeps throwing up roadblocks. When will it be my turn for "I have no pain!" like I've heard so many other patients brag about? F#%k this sh*t.

Didn't you say you had barely anypain until you hit 4CM or so? I bet most people can't say that.
Anyway I guess you should listen to your body and consider stopping if you have too much pain. It's not good to push the body too bad.

I said that? I don't remember if I did. Lol. My right leg has always had pain on and off, and my left knee has been bad for a while.
I'm not stopping before 6cm. Guichet doesn't seemed worried and wants me to continue. I just don't want to slow clicks down because I want this nightmare over as soon as possible.

Yeah you're going through some right now, but I would trade places with you in a heartbeat. I am also 167 and I am standing on the train right now on my way to work. Every guy near me is 6'1"+. Many of the girls are around 5'8". It sucks being short. 173 will move you to a new range closer to average height. Keep going brother! Try to stay positive and soon this nightmare will be a distant memory.

Thanks pal, I really appreciate this 
the pain worries me (as does my left shin numbness), but Dr G isn't wirried, so I'm trying not to be. It just sucks to be in pain when you're totally willing and show up to all your workouts, even on no sleep. I hate this...
I'm actually 166 according to Dr G and anothe Dr in Milan, but have been measured at 166.5/167 too. So I'll go with 166. I probably won't make it to 173, but anything 172+ will make me happy. I just want to be in the 5'8" range, even if a tad under.

Yeah I'm sure it's frustrating. Dr G seems like a caring and knowledgeable doctor. If he isn't concerned then you should be ok. Just keep doing as much pt and stretching as you can. You're 2/3 of the way there. You'll be done soon.

Thanks bro. I think I'm at between 5.2 and 5.5cm right now. Aside from Guichets click file, no one seems capable of giving me an accurate measure of my "real life" gain. I really wish I knew my true gain, because then I'd be more ok with slowing down to .667mm a day (I'm trying to suck it up and do .8mm a few days more).
I'm a little uneasy about clicking for a few days at home, but Dr G seems ok with it. I feel like he would say something if he objected. I've been away for 3 months, I'm just done. I've got a sick parent too. I need to get home, but still somehow finish this sh*t.
