What’s up Penguinn! I don’t post here much but I remembered your diary from months ago back when I used to come on here regularly. Sooo happy to see you’ve gotten better. You and I were very similar. I’m a little older than you and taller than you, but I had the same problem you had - but in my right leg instead of my left.
I’ve been “95%” for quite a while too. I run regularly twice a week and it gets better every time, I’m still not able to sprint as fast as I could pre LL, but my speed was college level track fast so that might never happen again lol. My squat is only about 2/3 of what it used to be, but it’s been progressing regularly as well. Upper body exercises are the highest they’ve ever been though. But I’m with you, if this is the furthest I get recovery wise I would 100% not regret it, I’d do it all over again if I had to because the extra height is amazing.
Anyways, I was really commenting just to let you know i’m getting my rods removed sometime within the next month - I’ll let you know what differences I notice, since judging by our similarities you’ll probably notice too. Congrats on the recovery!

Yep, I'll be looking forward to your experience 
Dear penguin
Congratulation your 7.5cm get and recover!
Your detailed diary do help me hugely.
How are you? Do you have the nail removed and walk feel with pain?
Thanks you. Best wish.
I'm almost fully recovered and whatever minor feelings (remainders of LL) I feel stem from the screws of the nails. Unfortunately I won't have the time to remove these nails for 1 to 2 years because of my hectic schedule. It sucks, but meh. Apart from playing sports at full force (haven't tried), I do everything else totally normally. I don't think it's possible to recover more than 95 to 99% unless the nails come out.
I lurk every now and then but I have nothing to report. I'll write about my removal in a year or two, whenever I do it.
Hi Penguinn
I am happy for your success!
What size nail did you get? From your x-rays, the doctor seems to done less reaming and there is a lot of bone around the nails (unlike a couple of European doctors who put in large nails).
How weight bearing were you during lengthening? How did you manage to get to the toilet, climb a car, etc.?
When you walked using a walker, how much weight can you transfer on your hands?
thanks. Please keep posting your progress updates!

'lurk'? Is it in a positive sense or otherwise?
Dear penguin. How do you get medical visa for 3months and how do you pay? Do you use you card with thepos machine?
How is the PT facility at Dr Parihar's hospital? Were you satisfied with it?
IIRC he is indian.
