Hi Mate,
I went from 171 to 179, it feels good to be average height (Western country). After 30 years of being a shorter Guy (albeit successful, and married to an objectively beautiful woman) I do now feel more confident in most all face to face interactions, and esp. when among my professional peers.
I am however unable to run, squat and suffer from bilateral knee pain on a daily basis.
My journey has thus far been 5 years long, its been arduous, time consuming, expensive, painful and debilitating - and still not finished . In fact I am currently have a 2.7 cm LLD and am recovering from an operation just last week to remove a poorly placed (wrong length) Distal Femur screw that was irritating and impinging my left knee for 2 years -operation number Seven!!.
So hopefully around 2021 I will have another Precice Nail installation, 3.5 months off work, and then eventually both Rod's removal around 2024 !! -, i.e 9 operations over 9 years all up (a mere ~10% of a humans lifetime.
Can you still believe I wear lifts as I "Feel" I am ~ 1 inch too short??.
