I usually try and put 50% of my weight on each foot so you should be back to full use in a week. Sucks you can't play hop scotch for a few more weeks though.

When I was significantly younger and slightly dumber than I am now, I tried to wrap my ankle around a tree while I was strapped to a snowboard, and I mostly succeeded. I've had a plate and six pins in it ever since. I did not listen to my doc, and I started using the walking boot (and then NOT using the walking boot) way sooner than I was supposed to, and I've regretted it ever since. I know it sucks, but don't be tempted to rush the Dr's timeline. Do what the man says.

Oh. I will. As a RN I understand the need to follow Dr's orders. I will take it easy. Thanks for the advice.

Here are some X-rays from my recent surgery. Thankfully got the cast off today. Can start applying 25% weight to it for a week. Then 50% for a few day then 75% for a few days and then 100% still in a walking boot bit Will be glad to be on both feet again. It sure feels weird though to put weight on it again. I will he far from 100% for the memorial run but good enough to drive my buggy around. View attachment 177367

As an amateur welder, I’d like to talk with your surgeon about proper fit-up techniques.

He left a gap so it will weld together stronger than just 2 flushed things meeting together with zero gap.

That’s the same excuse I use when @SoopaHick sees my welds.

So I feel weak for wanting to complain about the metal sliver in my left heel that I keep failing to dig out.

Should have ground out a chamfer and turned up the amps.

Sad day today. After safeguarding this pen for over three years and using it almost daily it has run dry. I would have never guessed this cheap pen would last so long. Then again, I’m sure no one’s held on to one for so long. 😢

If someone would just pop into Marshalls for me and grab one or ten and send it I’d really appreciate it. 😳😂

In the industry we call those guys "Fitters." We don't like fitters.

A relationship that long with one pen is a devastating loss.

It’s the most common basic pen. Get another and switch the cartridge.

But that's like putting a small block Chevy into a Ford!

That is also the correct move.

I agree with @kmboren. It is the right move.

Shiny horsepower things today. 😍

That heel still looks like it's not lined up. Is that a concern?
