Bare feet can get stripped of all flesh on the toes pretty quickly in a simple off even at 20 mph or less. Even putting a foot down in flip flops or slippers while the bike is still rolling could leave you with a crippling foot injury so what one recovering from foot surgery could get I would not want to imagine. Please don't ride until recovered enough to wear riding boots on the scooter. Ski boots??!!! Haha, no way I'm starting to overcome my lust for outside. Got Netflix, Hulu, many others plus THIS site! |

Mine aren't stopping me from doing things, but they both trade off hurting. Which is why I asked for both at once. I originally was getting just the left 'cause at the time it hurt most. So of course after setting the surgery, it stopped hurting nearly so much while my right took a week to remind me just how much it can hurt. I didn't want to pick which might be hurting more by surgery time. Since the left is apparently pretty minor as surgeries go, doc agreed to do both together. Plus that'll save money--won't have to pay twice for surgery room, anesthesia, etc. ***** As for your parts, your dr should allow you to be up and about fairly soon. Get a little shop stool with wheels, then go at it--being careful of that foot though! If you're not put in a big bootie, maybe buy one anyways, just to protect your foot from accidental bumps while you work on your scoot. Based on your incision, your surgery was worse than my first one was. My scar is maybe half that long. Dunno about the swelling etc, I think I never took off the bandaging I let the dr do all that. I'm about as medical as I am mechanical, ha! >'Kat That's good thinking getting them done together, you'll recover soon enough and be ahead financially. Got a new impervious to everything fuel line and high capacity filter in the post yesterday, I played with them in bed.. These combined with my high energy ignition will be my first recovery project. After a nice long ride of course....   |

Hey brother, Just wanted to say Hey. How are those digits doing? Can you wiggle without pain yet? Take an extra Pain Killer for me today  Just kidding but, seriously how are things going? My mother has Diabetes and she almost had to have her left foot amputated about 2 years ago........ Her Foot bones are a scrambled mess. Now it seems her Right foot is going to need surgery too..... (thanks to following doctors orders) Life happens------ Keep your spirits up and remember, It could always be worse. Look up "Diabetic Foot Ulcers" to see what pain can be.... |

I find my good work boots (Red Wing) the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.
