--> I've spent the last three months with only one leg while I recover from the break Roshi described here:

I wanted to let you all know that I'm through the worst of it and should be walking (with assistance) within the next two or three weeks! This horrible experience is almost behind me! I'm finally putting some weight on the bum leg, and so far it's holding up well. X-rays show some, although not much, growth around the fractures; however nothing encourages healing like use.

I'll be using a crutch or cane for a few months, as it will take as long as another year for it to heal completely. That's cool, I like canes. Maybe I could get one with a skull for a handle.

Anyway, just wanted to share the good news! Thanks everyone for all of your thoughts / jokes / insults etc. during this hellish thing!

One time I saw a little yellow finch in a pet shop that had only one foot. He still had his leg and everything...just the foot was gone. He had to sit IN the food dish just to eat. He was so cheery and playfu, though. I totally almost cried. Poor little cute cripple.

that is great news!!!!

i have an old cane of my great-grandfathers that is totally awesome, you should check 2nd hand stores. it's all carved and ornate and bling.

walking in the winter is overrated anyway. ;)


oh shit that's hawt

jen yeah, I was thinking a carved antique cane would be sweet

although this is pretty fly:

congrats, best of health to you and hope the rest of your recovery is a speedy one

My husband buys his canes from the place that provides them for House M.D. wardrobe. You can get one made out of a bull dick. Srs.

was going to comment on House and his canes, they're pretty cool

I wonder what benefit bull dick provides!
Hang in there...and with enough stimulation you might just be able to use that third leg of yours to speed up the walking process.

and there it goes......

good news on the recovery, having a cast is a real pain, I'm having one myself at the moment, it's coming off on friday - thank god for that

Best wishes on further recovery. In the meantime, buy that fucking snake cane dude! Begin to sculpt your image after that of Serpentor.

don't forget the Art of Noise.

and Nancy Sinatra, obviously

Good news dude! Glad you've made progress and getting through it all okay.
