Congrats on getting the surgery and nice to see that Dr Becker is your primary contact! He's awesome!
I did the surgery back in January and spoke a little with Dr Betz and have had some communication with him, but my primary contact has been with Dr Becker. He's fast to respond and seems to care a lot about his patients.
Did you have surgery in Freiburg at Praxisklinik 2000? Hospital was okay, but the food was awful!
Curious to see how you fare doing 10cm on tibias. I did 11,5cm on femurs and was done clicking four months ago, but because of my issues with duck ass I'm still not 100% of the crutches. Duck ass is close to being resolved (I'll do an update on my diary soon), but because I still have some -walking over distances more than a few 100 meters is very tiring on my lower back. My duck ass started at 7cm, so I'm curious to know if you will experience something similar doing tibias instead of femurs.
10cm is life changing, how much are you planing on doing on femurs? I stared at 165cm, so I was a litte taller than you are now and I did more length. I ended up at 177cm (or close enough to 5'10 that I can say I'm 5'10) and I no longer feel small. It is such a weird, awesome, great and strange feeling not feeling small anymore. Sure plenty of people are taller than me, but most people I meet (including both genders) are actually shorter than me. I went from being shorter than most people to being taller than most people, can't put that feeling enough into words.
Either way good luck and hope you don't experience duck ass as severe as I did. It is a lengthy process and you will get trough it in the end. Even though my duck ass has been a pain in the ass and the reason I still can't walk normally, I do see the light at end of the tunnel and I have no regrets. In the end, it is totally worth it!
