Quote from: Alu on July 02, 2016, 02:48:16 AMYou look good mate. I do have two questions:
1) Where are you knees at? Are they really located where that rip/wrinkle adjacent to it? Seems relatively low considering that you did 6 CM.
2) Is your waist located at your belt/end of the pants? Or are the pants more pulled up?
Cheers!
1) The knees are higher than the rip. On the left leg (my right) I believe the knee is at the bottom point of that white line that goes down, just before the indent.
2) The belt is a little higher than waist level. Because I tied it tight it hiked up a bit and pushed my shirt up, where you can see it's puffed on the sides.
Not a good pic for accurate proportion comparison, although I could probably convince my friend to take a similar pic with us in our boxers.

Most definitely.
Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on July 02, 2016, 04:12:24 PMPure curiosity: how long is your arm?
I'll have to get back to you on that. Haven't measured arm length by itself.

Quote from: CristianTheCuban on June 16, 2016, 02:42:26 AMwow, you look great after that procedure man. Congrats on that one. I'm currently the height you started at but im 19 years old. How do you feel about pushing to 6ft if you had the money and time? Would you do it ?
Missed this question.
If I were to do femurs, I'd stop at 176 cm. Even at that point I'd probably feel self-conscious about my arm length. Getting to six feet would require just over 7 inches of lengthening in total, and that's way too much for anyone, imo.
I can't do a proper recovery video until my friend has time to go to the gym with me so he can record things like running, jumping, squats, and the like. However I was able to record doing things like the leg press, leg extensions, and both standing and seated calf raises. As far as I can tell I haven't lost any potential calf strength. The big hit from the CLL was actually in my quads. Those months of lying in bed weakened them severely and all the biking and walking I've done still hasn't brought them back to where they were. Now that I've finally gotten over the mental barrier of working out my legs again, I'll be hitting the leg workouts hard.
Crikey! How much weight did you have on there?

That picture would be interesting and appreciated lol.
Also thanks for the video. Glad the damage wasn't as severe and debilitating for you!
what's your inseam now?
Does Dr Parihar do external femurs? What's the approximate cost and is it monorails?
Parihar prefers using The Precise Nail for femurs. It's a lot safer. It's around 30,000 US dollars for The Precise. But for external femur it's around 15,000 US dollars. External Femur is slightly more riskier than external tibias.
Is it on monorails? I Just need 3-4 cm. Sorry I will reply your PM tomorrow as I exceeded three a day.
I wanna avoid internal femurs because of embolism risk, risk of knee issues.
I prefer external monorails (if done properly with skilled doctors) but the key problems are pin-site infections (which are a chore), long fixation time(6 months to wear the fixators), correction needs to be done properly to keep angulation correct (lots of X-rays and CTs - which means radiation), scars (but these can be fixed).
I wouldn't pay so much money to do internals if it poses its own set of problems. It isn't exponentially better. I've done external tibias before, and it was pretty fine.
Having to go through two surgeries (implant and explant) is also a chore for the femurs. But I guess I would prefer to remove my external monorails under General Anaesthesia - it is less barbaric! Apparently I can bulk bill it.
