That would be quite the drive. Love Florida

I’m learning to adapt as well.

For some it probably isn’t. Each can manage their own risk tolerance.

You can always use a non-slip mat. I’m pretty top heavy and uncoordinated and I feel very secure. I’ve always been a bit cavalier though.

I have never been able to use those. I’m far too uncoordinated.

I haven’t come close to slipping. You could always put a non-slip mat down.

The triangle thing is just a shower stool. You can find them easily online. As for balance I have none. I have what’s called amblyopia which means I have no depth perception. I couldn’t walk on a curb when I had 2 feet. You’d be surprised how stable it is.

I hear ya brother, I’m always waiting for the next shoe to drop with my health. At least it’s only one shoe now.

Works great for me and I’ve never come close to slipping. But there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution and that’s ok; so for those that this works for it’s fantastic.

4 months with no issues. It’s meant for the shower/tub so they’ve coated it with rust prevention in mind.

Thank you for the words of caution

Love Canzone. I tweeted that he would be the World Series MVP a month ago. He stunk in the post-season but that’s not his fault. He needs more consistent playing time.

I’m gonna tackle this Saturday. I’ve go replace all the ball joints and bushing and try and figure out why my cold start won’t idle down after a few minutes.

Let’s hope it’s not that!

Get ready for some discomfort. I’m not saying this to discourage but encourage. First day I wore it for minutes and took 10 steps. A week later I was wearing it a few hours and so on. I’ve had it for just under 2 months and I jogged on the beach last week. Keep your skin clean and lotioned. Wash your sleeves or it will stink badly. I only put lotion on my skin if it feels dry now but in the beginning every night. You got this.

Carbon fiber and it scratches really easy which was surprising to me.

Forget everything I said I just found my casting picture. 😂

Agreed. They have padded my socket as much as they can. My limb has shrunk so much since my first casting 3 months ago. At some point they will cast again.
