Good news, Hanna. Thanks for the update. I've been thinking about getting one of those Exogens.

Hey Hanna,

How is it going? How is your recovery progress? Getting stronger?
I was wondering if you can wear anything you want at this stage, I mean jeans and tights etc. ? ( not heels of course )

Hey sweatpants,

Yes, I feel stronger. Today I went for a walk in the park (still on crutches of course), and it was not as exhausting as 4 weeks before. It's very important to be active during lengthening and especially during consolidation.
Yes, I can wear everything, especially my new jeans :-D the shopping costs shouldn't be neglected when you save up for LL... ;-)

hey hanna! im glad your are doing better!) it is good for you to always look back maybe few weeks and see your progress))) i could not see much progress day by day but when i looked back maybe one month i saw significant progress and that also motivated me!!)) it gave me hope that in another month it would be another big step)) if i look back 3 months, i see my walking video and i could barely make a step, its unbelievable my progress, but again i can not see my progress day by day)) hang in there.

question thou)) i want to buy some jeans online but i dont know what size to get now after 9cms.. so since we actually grew about the same amount))) could you tell me in terms of jean sizes how different it is now, or how longer are your jeans now i mean from size to size. i dont know if we use the same units, before op i was using 30 size jean in length, now i have no idea))

Thank you, RGKEY :-)
I used to wear 30 inch length, too, now I need between 32-34inch, depending on the brand/type. It's an amazing feeling :-))

Oh.great!) Thank you! It must be an amazing feeling for sure!)

Hey Hanna,
Do you notice your femur being proportionately longer than tibia. Is it noticeable? Not too much worried about proportion but curious how you see yourself on mirror.

Thanks

Edit Post

Yes, I can see it, but I guess I can get away with it very well. I originally planned to do 7cm but at this point everything looked very proportionate and I had no health issues so I decided to go further. It doesn't look like +9cm, otherwise I had stopped earlier because I do care about proportions.
But concerning the recovery time it might have been more reasonable to stop at 7cm.

Hey Hanna! How have you been lately? I was wondering, have you lost weight from LL as I did too?
