I read nearly all diaries, but i couldn't understand what is the range of time for femurs, after like 6~7 months post-op.
So, my problem is i will be doing meeting in 7-8 places after my lengthening done. That means i need to be on my feet like 4-6 hours daily.
Is it possible after 6 months? I don't need to run or jog, just classic drive to places, meet clients, do presentations style job.
PS : i'm thinking getting max as possible, so 7~8cm for femurs.

It's generally 1 month per cm so for 7 cm you should assume 7 months.

I know two guys who was cleared for walking after consolidation ,they can walk as much as they want .
the thing is , there were 7 guys staying at the same hotel after I had LL surgery , only two of those guys got cleared after two months consolidation .
one guy is only at 75% after 3 months consolidation because he was moving around too much .
I'd say 6 months consolidation is more than enough time for you to be walking around . you can always have a cane to help .

The recovery is getting exponentially better every months.
After 3 months of recovery you will think that you walk so much better than 1 month ago.
6 months after the operation is around the minimum time you would need to just start walking normally, but not for an infinite amount of time like a healthy person.
More importantly, do you have weight bearing nails? Because 6 months is barely enough time to consolidate for someone with very fast consolidation. You don't know if you are in that category, especially with a 7.5 cm gap.
