Very awesome invention!

[@ThedailyLfam]

It’s amazing

[@lorieakin5771]

It's an alternative for short term use. It's brilliant. Some people don't even need to use the handle in the front after awhile. It just takes some getting used to.

[@ThedailyLfam]

It’s an amazing product

[@anonnymowse]

The first time I saw this was on Harrison Ford who broke something in his lower leg while filming a Star Wars movie. The alternative is a knee scooter which also seems dangerous at first, but people still get the hang of it.

[@ThedailyLfam]

Oh wow that’s cool!

[@wadehamlin]

You'll get better on crutches it just takes time. Get better soon

[@ThedailyLfam]

Thank you so much

[@60gregma]

I wish something like this was around years ago when I broke my ankle. I was on crutches for weeks and I never was able to master them.

[@ThedailyLfam]

And using crutches is hard on your body

[@wadehamlin]

How long will you be non weight bearing?

[@ThedailyLfam]

Up to 2 months

[@ThedailyLfam]

Well maybe not 2 moths non weight bearing. I’m not sure on that one

[@wadehamlin]

Isn't it kind of a pain to put on say like just to go to the bathroom or something like that?

[@ThedailyLfam]

Oh my word yes!!

[@lorieakin5771]

But so is dragging crutches to the can.

[@wadehamlin]

@@lorieakin5771 I don't know, just my opinion but you got to put it on to go take it off do your business then put it back on. I think I'd just rather crutch it.

[@wadehamlin]

Are you in a cast?

[@ThedailyLfam]

I’m in a splint for now. They need to do surgery because the bone is displaced. After that I’m not sure what they’ll put me in.

[@wadehamlin]

@@ThedailyLfam I hope you will post more of your recovery. Good luck with your surgery.

[@ThedailyLfam]

@wadehamlin I’m definitely going to try to. Thank you so much

[@wadehamlin]

@@ThedailyLfam When is your surgery?

[@ThedailyLfam]

@wadehamlin Friday. Which I feel is a long time to wait, but that’s the soonest it could be done

[@wadehamlin]

If you don't have to be up and around for a long time which do you use?

[@ThedailyLfam]

It more depends on what I’m getting up to do really

[@wadehamlin]

@@ThedailyLfam I guess for instance say like a quick bathroom trip,

[@ThedailyLfam]

@wadehamlin just the regular crutches

[@wadehamlin]

@@ThedailyLfam Are you getting better on your crutches?

[@ThedailyLfam]

Yes it’s been getting a lot more comfortable

[@pacodelahoya2000]

So it's not hands free and if your knee is immobilized it's useless. Just sayin.

[@ThedailyLfam]

It works quite well for me

[@pacodelahoya2000]

I'm glad it works for you, but it is only hands free when you're immobile... Just like a crutch that you can lean against the wall. I get that you can stand and not have to hold it, but if you can't bear weight or your knee is wrecked, it's back to crutches.

[@ThedailyLfam]

@pacodelahoya2000 apologies. I understand what you are saying now. No, unfortunately it wouldn’t be a good option then. That’s terrible too because crutches are hard

[@lorieakin5771]

​@@pacodelahoya2000it's temporary. Plus taking it off at night for stretching and isometric exercises you would lose that much muscle tone. The knee placement is padded btw.

[@ThedailyLfam]

@lorieakin5771 I like how it has padded pieces to cover the straps too. That way the straps don’t dig into your skin
