I may have broken my foot update...I can walk again!

I have a funny story, I have been walking a little on my heel, my doctor said this would be okay. Well I waited until it was exactly 2 months post surgery before I started doing this, so that was July 26.

Anyway this evening I was riding my knee walker out to my car at work in the parking lot and the stupid thing broke, a car was getting ready to back up, I got scared they wouldn't see me so I picked the walker up and carried it to my car all the while limping on my heel with my huge boot thing on

I returned the piece of junk knee walker to walmart, it was 400 dollars, and I had hoped to be able to sell it after I am healed but it broke in many areas, tonights being the show stopper.

I go in Thursday for xrays and hopefully the green light to walk again.

Ill cross my fingers and say prayer for you. I do hope you'll be walking sooner then later.

Did you get a refund, buncha grief, sad tail, or WHAT?
Hopefully you got MONEY ...

Clue us in, Please.

The girl at the counter just gave me the refund, my husband tried to show her the broken parts and she clearly didn't care. If it turns out I can't walk yet tomorrow I may just rent one, for today I will use a walker that I had from when my Mom was alive.

Hmmmmm ... Good Deal!

So Wally "loaned" you the junky $400 knee walker for FREE ...
Yup - Good Deal!

(Good thing you didn't break anything else when the walker fell apart!)

I'm glad it happened after I could walk on my heel a little, yeah I guess it worked out for me I just hope I don't need one anymore it is a great little invention and I can't say enough good about it the one I happened to buy was had some cheap parts used.
