So, back in September I stepped in a hole along a street. Didn't think too much about it, just felt like a bad sprain. Then, about every third time I'd go to my deer stand, I would step in an armadillo hole or a rock under some leaves and turn it some more. At the end of deer season, I realized that I didn't have any lateral support in my right ankle. MRI revealed 2 ruptured ligaments and 2 ruptured tendons. Had surgery Monday and I am now non-weight bearing in my right leg for the next 6 weeks. Needless to say, my irrigation routine has had to be adjusted, but all in all, I'm here to report that it can be done, it's just a little tricky. Knee scooters are awesome just FYI. Wish me luck, it's day 4....only 38 more days to go!

Good luck! I've seen those knee scooters, they do look like fun!

OUCH! Sorry to hear about your accident, Dave. It's been ages since I've checked in to this site and yours is the first posting I've just read. I hope your recovery goes smoothly; it sounds like the new scooter is helping you move around a bit faster ... and surely it must be more fun. This is your chance to be a kid again!

Take care though ... I've had a lot of surgeries and know of what I speak: Don't throw caution to the wind! I'm heading for my third knee replacement on my right leg next month.
