Not THIS boot!

THIS boot!

So yeah, I got my cast sawed off and got a super awesome boot instead. 6 days from now I will be able to walk!

7 weeks from now I get the boot taken off!

If you don't remember, I got surgery done on a birth defect I had in my right ankle, I got a piece of floating bone pinned to my ankle and my cartilage is growing back around it as we speak. First I had a cast for 5 weeks, now I have a boot. Crutch-walking is not fun.

So yeah, discuss.

Thank you for tuning into Jacob/Lee's Medical History, Part 3: Defects & Surgery!

EDIT: That boot in the picture is the exact model I have, and I have also been called RoboCop twice.

That's cool. I've seen some people wear those and they walk pretty fine. Glad you'll be able to walk soon :D

I actually had to wear one when I broke my foot jumping off a trampoline when I was 8 or 9. It was awesome, you could take it off and let your foot air out, and all you had to do to put it back on was strap your foot in and pump up these little air pocket things.

Crutches are loving awesome once you get used to them. I learned to balance with them when my foot was still healing :o
