Hey yellow is it possible to get a proportion pic without the t-shirt covering the top of your femurs. Obviously it helps make the femurs look shorter so it's hard to get an accurate read.

Actually, I AM Italian (among other things). Everyone in Milan would approach me speaking Italian a mile a minute and were always disappointed when I could barely speak a word of it. Made for an interesting experience, that's for sure!

I will try to do one at some point.
Measured my wingspan today out of curiosity (never really cared about it)...and it's about 172cm-173cm...so matches the new height perfectly. I'd say ALL my proportions right now are just fine. One more inch on femurs will probably somewhat screw up the femur/tibia ratio, but at least that's fairly easy to hide/mask with clothes and having thick quads.
The more I walk (even still semi embarrassingly), the better I seem to feel. Stamina is getting a bit better each time. Once I'm cleared for the gym, things will get better even faster. So nice to be able to walk to my local Starbucks totally crutch free and just grab a coffee. It's the little things like this that keep me going.
Hope to God that another inch won't take as long as this has.

Total cost all inclusive (pre-training, pre-op costs, housing, airline tickets, prostitutes to keep me company) was close to $80K USD. I'm going to see if my insurance will help reimburse some of the PT costs (I'm told they might), and while I had more than enough cash to do it (and still enough left over to do a second LL right now with Guichet or Paley), my dad helped a bit as well.

My bad, it also includes post-op PT. That cost was all-inclusive for everything.

Uh...maybe translate that figure into USD/EUR and then research the femur doctors?
Yellowspike /= 1-800-FEMUR-LL
Anywho...
Walking is steadily improving. Stamina and speed are getting better, and now it seems to be only my right hip that sways when I walk. Almost there! Once my walk looks good, even if my stamina takes time to catch up, I will feel much better about walking out in public than I do no (although I don't really care that much to be honest).
Funnily, I've told two of my close friends that I plan to go back and do another inch next year...they both supported me without reservation. One even said "You make great decisions in your life. If this is what you need for closure, then go for it." Not that I need anyone's approval (they all previously said I was nuts the first time around, I didn't care), but it's nice to have some support. I feel like I can do an inch in my sleep after this sh*t lol
