just broke my foot and sprained my ankle :(

[Ronkh]

latest update ... foot is healing well ... about 10 more days with crutches and then hobbling with the boot on for a few more months ..so i guess that is good news

Good news indeed.

no cane here.. i did ask .. they said that`s old school and slowed down the healing process

Interesting, I even continued the cane use for a period after the boot came off. It (the cane, a really nice piece of hickory) was great (with or w/o the boot) for clearing aisles of dawdlers while shopping. Places light Sam`s Club, Home Depot, Lowes are great places to get walking in while in the boot. Wide aisles which allow you to maintain a steady walking pace, and importantly a solid even surface.

Sorry to hear about your fall. Sounds like your getting better, thank God. I had something simular happen back in 86, so I understand. I fell your pain bro. Good luck.

i had the same thoughts, but the Doctor said no need for the cane

I got one thing to say about the cane, it beats a walker all to pieces.

I`d prefer neither

Amen, Brotha!

Though I would prefer not to have to rely on the cane, I have found it to be quite handy for reasons both obvious and not so obvious (as Clint said in the movie Pale Rider

nothing like a nice piece of hickory

).

I understand that .. and I`ll probably have my crutches for the trip to DF as there is no way I`ll be able to walk through airports in a few weeks

That`s why they have those golf carts all over the place. Knock off that older couple and take up an entire bench to yourself.

So for DF, you should have a foot boot?

I`ve been in a boot for over a month and it will be going with me through Spring

there`s no metal in it and you can see my sock

Mine has metal in it. Up the sides for stability.

But if your`s has a laminated rubber/plastic bottom they`re gonna want to examine it.
