Oh no! I'm sorry romy! Yowch. I did that too once.
That flexleg thing looks WAY better than crutches.
All I can say is be religious with regards attending to any physical
therapy after you've healed up a bit.

Thanks Jake! I'm going to check out FlexLeg. It
looks like a very
interesting option. I like the fact that they rent the devices out too,
giving people the option not to buy them.

Life is a lot different with an injury. And now I'm wading through the
complexities of the health insurance system...
I'm much more empathetic to people in wheelchairs and with artificial
legs. [empathy is a lot better than sympathy!]

oh no romy that sucks!
well, people used to use prosthetic legs which were basically a lower leg
that you kneel on top of. so picture an upside-down L and your bad leg is
bent at the knee 90 degrees. your lower leg is strapped onto the top part
of the upside down L.
you put a bunch of padding on the top, and use padding on the back of
your calf, and then you can wear it for hours and walk on it just fine.
people whose feet or legs were chopped below the knee walked around on
such things their whole life.
