I agree. Part of the reason I find myself checking this site almost daily lol. So far so good, They gave me a cast for 3 weeks after taking out the staples. I go back the 20th hopefully go get a walking cast. I commend you on the crutches, Have not been able to use them. I think I was paranoid of the splint. Now that I have a cast I am working on them again. I have been using a rolater. How long were you in a cast?
