Idea- a thread like "swap meet" or "trading post", but for AF members that own detail businesses

You poor man. Did they cast over your staples? Wouldn`t that mean the cast is coming off shortly?

Got one of those coming up myself on the same foot. Mine involves both a fusion and a cadaver bone graft on the opposite side of the fusion. Makes me a bit nervous as they say I`ll be on crutches for 8 weeks. 6 months for actual recovery. I don`t know how the crutch deal will work out with artificial shoulder.

Interested in seeing how this turns out for you. Good luck!

Yeah they casted over the staples.



I have another follow up next week, so hopefully they will cut the cast, pull the sutures and I`ll find out more. They will probably recast it for 4 more weeks. Idk. The docs aren`t great at keeping me in the loop.

I have some extensive soft tissue damage in my left shoulder making crutching (and detailing) quite an effort (had to manipulate the ball back into the socket last night). I can`t even imagine how you are going to feel. That procedure sounds terrifying. I strongly suggest the nerve block before surgery and try to get the knee stroller. Crutching is for the birds.

Good luck to you as we`ll sir.

Oh I saw online you can get a "knee crutch". Looks kind of like a pegleg lol.

The skateboard and the knee crutches are iffy though I would try them. I have an artificial knee as well.
