Meh, I still have a ways to go. I'm focusing the next few days more on side leg lifts and glute bridges to strengthen my adductors and glutes to walk a little better.

On another note, I had my first female encounter post-LL last night. She approached me last week when I saw my friend. It was...interesting. Nice actually feeling decently taller than a 5'4"/5'5" girl. I let her do most of the work. It was a little better than I thought.

Yellowspike how is your recovery coming along, any improvment?

I'm waiting to hear back on the possibility of clicking a little more (I'm getting new x-rays tomorrow or the day after). Everyone has said not to count on the duckass, and I feel like I cut it too close to what I wanted, and thus I'm not happy at the moment. I only stopped because my left leg had a TON of pain towards the end of clicking, it was almost unbearable. I would have continued if it weren't for that, so I decided to at least give me a body a break, at the time.

Recovery's going, but my ambivalence on clicking further or not has made me not be as committed as I need to be. This is my own fault, I know, and I will work on it. I actually think being on here (as much as I like most of the people on here) as much as I have has made me feel worse about it.

Mate, listen to me: don't do it. Quit the clicking you already made it to 173CM+ territory and like we've all learned the last days -with this surgery we better not take any chances.

The pain was a sign that something is wrong inside your leg, don't hurt yourself forever just because of a few mm, alright?

Promise me damn it, and get on that recovery ASAP.

Uppland and goodluck - I really appreciate both of your encouraging words. Thank you both.

I'm very uneasy about stopping now because my evening height seems to be right at 5'8" on the dot (most results have come in slightly above in the evening, one or two a pinch below). For me, it's just the principle of the matter. I know I'm getting caught up in the numbers game. I'm just not young and rich like a lot of you guys, so I don't have the luxury of just saying "well, I can do a second LL in a few years." At my age, I'm looking at career advancement, possibly getting married in the future, etc., so a second LL would be nearly impossible for me to swing (and by that time, not as worth it). I actually can afford a second LL right now with even Paley or Guichet again, but then I'd be pretty much cleaned out of my cash savings (which I will not do).

I'm getting x-rays taken tomorrow or Thursday, I'll see what's what. If it won't risk fracture per the doctor, maybe I'll suck up the pain just a little longer. I just don't want to be even a bit below 5'8", I've worked too hard and have sacrificed too much to not have reached my goal. I was trying to count on the duckass, but people have warned that I would be lucky even to get .5cm, so I'm not really counting on anything. So many on here are very lucky to start with a height of 5'7"/5'8" and then go on to do LL...this may be my last shot to get taller, and 5'8" is still borderline as it is.

I haven't decided one way or another yet. I have to see what the x-rays look like first, and then talk to my doctor. The point may be moot, I may not even be able to click anymore. Then I guess I'll be forced to consider a second LL in the future, as much as I REALLY don't want to do it..
