How are you doing now with your gait? And how much have you lengthened now? From my calculations(horrible) you should be done in a couple of weeks? Hope recovery is going stellar and would be nice to see any progress on the walk via video if you can of course

Hi apple and all. As a quick update.
I’m now at 6.1cm’s. in terms of gait, my gait has stayed the same as before and I suspect it won’t improve until after lengthening is done. My wide legs funny enough has improved slightly over the last few days (whereas before I stood/walk with 40cms apart I am now standing/walking with 20cms apart). Not sure why but it may have to do with the few days I was lengthening at 0.75mm per day.
Yesterday I went on a big shopping session outdoors where I walked about 10k steps without crutches (obviously with breaks in between). Felt like a long hike. Thought today my muscles would be aching throughout but I’m strangely fine. So probably fair to say I feel quite strong (vs 2 weeks ago).
Still have a slightly bent right knee but it hasn’t gotten worse which is good. I also have a quite sore right bum when I sit too long or lie down which is annoying. Otherwise there is some tightness but still manageable.
I have not got any nerve pain yet. I’m consistently taking one pill of lyrica of day. Not sure if strange. At this rate I may finish without any nerve pain.
I should be done in 3 weeks which is fantastic. Pushing towards the end. I will try to upload a video in the next few days.
