    So sorry you have to go through this....My husband had surgery in March to clean up a bunch of stuff and put a couple of screws in the top of his foot....He couldn't put any weight on it for 6 weeks....He got a scooter called a Roll-about.....I saw several in the doctor's office. They have a website where you can rent one....you put your bad leg with the knee bent on the scooter and push it around with your good leg.....He got around really well, and he didn't have the pain of the crutches....just thought I would pass that on!

    Sorry to hear it is such a bad break, glad you have your husband to play chauffer! I hope it heals faster than expected, and better, too!

    I'm so sorry to hear it's such a bad break. Do take it easy and give it time to heal properly.

    I'm sending lots of positive throughts that the surgery will go well and you heal up fast!

    My doctor just called to make sure I am staying off of it and he told me to rent one of those but he didn't know the name, thank you so much I will try to find one in town.
