Hey Hanna,
Glad to hear about your progress, even a little progress is great. I want to ask you what Dr. Betz told about the crutches, when you will be able to move without them? Is it a couple of months during consolidation or something like that?

I will ask him on friday, when we take new x-rays. He told me in january that I could walk unaided by the end of April. But I'm a very careful person and will wait what the x-rays show on friday and then again in 6 weeks, before I risk to walk without crutches too early.

First sunbath for my "new" legs...
life is great!
nice legs Hanna!))
My latest x-rays showed that I had a little discrepancy of 2mm left, which I corrected by now. Only thing I have to do now, is stretching, stretching, stretching and being patient. 
Interestingly my x-rays show about nearly 1cm more distraction than I expected from my clicking count. When I was measured, I was already 1,66m although I can't stand straight because of the duck-ass I still have. Maybe I will even reach more than 1,67m, I will let you know, as soon as I'm able to stand straight and measure correctly.
The nails and screws are ok and my next x-rays are taken by the end of April. Till then I keep on walking on crutches. I keep you updated. 
Congrats again Hanna,
I hope to join you in walking again soon. Thanks for keeping us little people over here updated.
Amazing how big money can lessen the pain and complication.
I think women should only lengthen the femur. Maybe it's just me, but I find women with long femur sexy. As for guys it would be freaky.
