Foot surgery

[rkentzel]

Well looks like I will miss most of the fall camping here. Had to have my great toe fused. Surgery was the middle of October but have had a couple of setbacks with a infection looks like that's under control now finally removed the stiches last Friday. One thing that come out of it is no more pain. Wife bought me a knee scooter to get around on cant do crutches. A couple of more weeks non weight bearing.

those knee scooter things are pretty neat... a coworker broke his ankle and doc felt the scooter was better for him to get around on than crutches.. I know he would have had a lot harder time coming back to work on crutches.

Thanks for the link.........when you said knee scooter I imagined something skateboard like :B
Boy was I way off

Understand the shoulders and no crutches.

Get well and take care!

Have had shoulder surgeries both shoulders a few years back and there just not up to it.


no good in gravel or rough ground and you have to be careful on thresholds. Works great for me.

Hope recovery goes better and is a complete success.

Foot pain is the PITS
Have had right foot rebuilt (hammer, chisel, wire) twice and then a little fusing in ankle. 2 yrs. in casts.

Knee scooter sounds ......well interesting. Why 'can't do crutches'?
