[Cinder & Smoke]

The girl at the Wally counter just gave me the refund ...

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.

I got the okay to start walking again with the boot! yeah, I am so happy!!! Anyone have any tips on walking with the stupid thing? I am so uneven, I have to find shoes to even me out.

Use a cane! My sister broke her foot and had a trip to Europe planned for 2 weeks later. She had to stay completely off of it for a certain length of time. I forget how long exactly. But then she was in Germany in a wheel chair. In two weeks in Europe she had graduated from the wheel chair, to crutches. Then my mom and I went over and met my sister and brother-in-law in Prague. By that time she had progressed to walking with just a cane. She used the cane and out walked my mom around Prague. And that is saying something because Prague is full of cobblestones! But I would highly recommend a cane and a good fitting flat shoe on the other foot.

I cant help, I had to wear a pair of robo boots so it evened out.

I almost wish I could wear two and be even, I don't remember what you did if you mentioned it??

First - congratulations on the new stage!

On to the boot...I, as well, am an experienced "boot walker". I was in one for quite some time, and the thing is still in my closet. Be careful with the OTHER knee!! You get so out of whack that other knee takes on so much of the load at an odd angle and it can damage it. Wear a good supportive shoe on the other foot with inserts to try to get you up a little. Watch yourself going down steps; the boot can take on a life of it's own!

The boot sucks I put tennis shoes on in the house and I am wearing those around, no pain whatsoever....

Stress fractures in both ankles. You could wear 2 just to even things out.

That sounds bad, what happened?

I just wore supportive tennis shoes to work today and I feel pretty good, I still don't put full weight on my whole foot yet though I still walk with a limp.
