Default Height gain

Ya know, it's really strange in my case about the gain in height thing. I never even thought about it when I was there until my friend saw me in the hospital. He knows nothing about this adr surgery but the first thing he said when he saw me was "dude, you got taller!". And as we stood closer , it was funny to feel the sensation of looking dowm on him. It was so obvious, that we busted out laughing. It was hilarious to be sort of towering over him when before we were almost eye to eye. The exact same thing happened with my othet taller friend, he was so amazed that he also started laughing. He couldnt believe it. He says i had to have gained at least an inch, maybe two. Dr b said he shaved off too much bone for me to have gained significant height. But its apparent to my friends that i did. I wish i had measured my height prior to surgery so i could measure how much i gained.

Have a good safe trip home. Maybe you can get bulkhead seats with a little more leg room? Rest up when you get back, you'll need it.
