Enjoy!

With two broken feet, I've had plenty of those.......when you get out of it you can get one of these...much more comfortable.

...and when you are all healed...if you ever are "all healed"...you can go back to some comfy farm boots!

What did you break? I have broken both feet, severely, and I can tell you that now nothing beats comfy shoes...I don't care what they look like as long as they are comfy!

I can walk...but it is not like it used to be, and the older I get the harder it is. I think arthritis gets in those breaks and causes a ton of trouble?

Do your therapy...it is all important to regain mobility as fast as possible. Hurts like hell at times, but it is why I am walking today!

Regards!

To the OP....We do want to see your new shoes! Be sure we get to when they arrive!

I'm out of the boot now and recovering pretty good. I got hit by a pickup truck who made a left turn into me while I was on the Harley. Bruises, sprains and stress fractures. Most of the damage was to my left ankle and shin. That was on May 23. I was pretty fortunate it wasn't worse. The Harley will be out of the shop on July 12 so I can start enjoying my summer again.

My feet are in pretty rough shape from arthritis already. I had surgery on my right foot 3 years ago. I'm getting the left on fixed in August so that big ugly boot ( I call it Frankenfoot) isn't getting shoved into the back of the closet. I'm keeping my new cane handy too!

A very fitting cane!

You were very fortunate.....same happened here recently and the rider is now in the great road in the sky forever. Not a bad place, but you don't want to rush getting there!

I have reconciled that I will never walk as I once did or have the mobility I once had.....so now I concentrate on continuing to just walk. Losing that would be catastrophic.

At least my breaks have happened later in life and did not disable me from working and enjoying more things than I can now. We adjust, even if it is sometimes painful.

Best of luck to you Reef

.....you gotta hang in there, the alternative is so much worse.

Regards!

Sadly, I went to a funeral a week ago for a young man, just turned 21 who got hit by a driver who crossed over three lanes. It seems to get worse every year. I'm missing the bike but I'm also apprehensive about getting back on it. I've been down before but I always was able to get back up and ride home. Not this time.

He was selling these at a motorcycle rally I attended about a week after the crash. I was using my monopod or a ski pole for extra support but when I saw these, I had to have one.
