Well, I went to the orthopedist this morning for a re-check of my broken ankle. I'm progressing normally, but still have 10 more weeks of non-weight bearing. With my infinite time to search the Web, as well as my superb skills, I found and purchased a plate/shelf that screws onto a crutch. It is made to allow the user to put his weight on the bad leg, just below the knee, and use the crutch-leg as a "walking leg." I used it to get back upstairs. It takes practice; learning to put all my weight on that leg, but I did it....it's great to know I can do it again from time to time. IT WILL GET ME DOWNSTAIRS AND GIVE ME A DIFFERENT VIEW FOR A CHANGE.
