Not sure how accurate the measurement tool is but I am at 7cm mark +/-
I am extremely anxious to have these off, my quality of life feels like a mental crisis. My anxiety/depression is like a 8/10 constantly, I can’t even enjoy or think about any height gain because all I care about is getting these fixators off and trying to get back to normal and doing the things I love. We take the small things and blessings for granted so much, I would kill for just a hot bath and a good nights sleep on my side
I have some moderate ballerina foot, my hamstrings are very tight and I cannot extend my legs all the way, if I warm up it gets better and I can touch heels to the ground but my hamstrings need some work for sure, I am sure they got tight from wearing shoe lifts all these years, I will definitely need physio to correct this, lengthening is getting much harder at this mark. This last cm is going to be pretty tough, thankfully I have had zero nerve pain, which is really weird. Every couple days my right leg shin will fall asleep/turn numb for 30 min but besides that no nerve pain so far , may stop at 7.5 or may stop at 8
God willing I plan to do removal this coming week
Congratulation brother, just my opinion you should concern about your callus growth, x-ray looking empty.

That is because in turkey they use the contrast tool to detect callus. The ER just gave me an unedited version of my X-ray. When I use the contrast tool my callus is very noticeable

Pretty decent bridges^
Now that I am pretty much done distracting the bone it should be more solid in future X-rays

Yeah man funny how something so small can drive you mentally fkd. Sleeping on my side is a necessity for me
Keep at it! 
Wishing you the best!

Thanks for the support !
Quick update guys,
I am at the 8cm mark and have finished distracting
That last cm is definitely tough
Currently I am waiting to see if my insurance will cover removal here. If not I will have to fly back
To turkey. I should know in another week. It really sucks wasting this extra time with the frames, it’s terrible knowing I could have them off already but I have to wait.
If insurance covers however it will be much easier than me flying across the other side of the world and back.
Congratulations on 8 cm!!!! so happy for you bro. Its been a long road. Can you fell the difference when standing?

Yes for sure, a lot in the mirror when standing next to my wife for comparison, and my brother in law that is 5’9 it feels like we are eye level now whenever I talk to him
Congrats!! A long rocky road for sure; hats off to you sir - nice work! 💪💪👍👍
