Should be ready to make a running video within the next two weeks. As of now the only pain I have left is in one of the pin sites, which is still pretty sensitive and hurts if I get hit there. Wondering if that will go away.

There's a popular skydiving location in Southern California at Lake Elsinore. The experience was really fun. You don't get that sensation of butterflies in your stomach when dropping and it's really peaceful after you deploy the parachute and you coast to the ground. The most nerve wracking part of it is when the plane reaches its 16,000 ft elevation and starts coasting. That's when you realize "Oh man, I'm really about to do this". The jump itself is much less scary than bungee jumping though. The most uncomfortable thing is that the harness wraps tight around your thighs and you get a little rope burn from it.

Turns out that when you land you're supposed to do so on your butt, so no impact on the legs.

How would you describe your recovery in terms of %? how much % are you from your pre LL self?
Hard to say. I haven't gained back the muscle in the thighs that I lost from this whole thing, and I haven't yet tried to run any faster than a mild jog.
hello bro ..how are u now?

Walking wise are you walking strange? Can anyone notice something off with your daily walking in the streets?
I feel 100% normal when walking and people I've asked who know what I did don't think my walking looks weird at all. Here's a quick vid of what it looks like. Not really good for seeing my proportions though because I fished out my old pants from when I was a lot heavier and they're way too big for me now.
amazing kilohan 
doesnt look strange at all (I looked where your knees are). You look perfectly normal
Looks great, could never tell you had LL.
Excellent body language, well dressed...looking good man.

Apparently my tibiae were very short even for my starting height. I guess the lengthening normalized them in comparison to my femurs.

There's a soreness around the middle pin site on my right leg whenever my feet make impact with the ground while running. Aside from that, nothing outside of the pressure that builds up after running or walking on a steep incline. That's a separate issue from the CLL. I believe I have CECS, but won't know for sure until I test for it around the end of April.
