Hey! Do you happen to have a video of yourself walking by any chance? I'm scared that doing quad LL will permanently make me walk funny should I choose to do it.
Quadrilateral lengthening @ the Paley Institute - tibias 4cm + femurs 6cm
Hi everyone,
I am not going to answer the PMs anymore. This will be my final post here, my LL journey has concluded.
Its been a rough ride, doing quad with Paley was by no means a cakewalk. But the end result is satisfying. My state right now is slight x-legs but not noticable. I am able to jog for 2 minutes but the impact on hard terrain does cause knee pain. My PT (which I will talk about in detail below) says that the muscles and tendons are stretched and at max capacity, its gonna take a year or two before they start loosening up. Frankly I don't really care, I was never much of a sports person before LL. I can walk, I can go up and down stairs without problem. I can sit for extended time. In fact last monday we had this presentation at "JavaNerds and Beer"-event in SF where I sat in same position on a plastic chair for 4 hours and I had no trouble getting up and walking normally afterwards.
I feel a bit tearful writing this post as I know I have to let you go, our paths diverge here. I would like to thank everyone who participated in this diary and the authors of the diaries. You have been incredible resource for me. I would never have been able to do this surgery without you guys and gals!
And finally about my PT. One thing this whole demanding process has thought me is, you only have one life. Dont let anyone else dictate how you should spend your days on this beautiful planet. Make as much out of your time, enjoy every day, live the life you always wanted.
My PT, 10 years younger me awakened something in me, a feeling that I cannot describe in words. We grew fond of each other and finally he confessed to me he had developed feelings for me.
We started dating and even travelled together. It was really love at first sight. I have come out of closet and told my family and close friends about it. They have been all supportive. Thats it folks....
Thank you all and good bye!

I would like to ask you if the person jumping your instagram is a former LLer.
But anyway, it was good to have you with us. Now, have a good luck with your new life.
What a plot twist
This will be an end of an era. We will miss your insight and perspectives. I wish you all the best on your future! If you happen to be in my city (I pinged you earlier) PM my Reddit handle reddit.com/u/Purushrottam and I’ll be more than happy to grab a drink.

So you sent me your google research about height in Brazil, but sorry your research is wrong.
I'm Brazilian i live here and i traveled the whole country, So I can tell you People are much taller than that.
5'7 man is a short man here
5'3 is a short woman here
And my comment about Kenda, yes 5'2 is short even here in Brazil. 5'2 is an asian country height.
Travel and you will see for yourself
How can you argue with statistics and surveys?
Just because you think they are wrong, doesn’t make them wrong.
Dude is trolling as OverrideYourGenetics. There’s a typo in the name.
Genius trolling. However, I just wish we could live in a world where short Muslim Indian professors teaching English in London spent their time more wisely. Why must Muslims be so angry?
