Stylin' after surgery
OK Here's my Story.......
Been dealing with Broken Bones in my Left Foot, for almost 1 year. Finally told I needed Surgery, with Plates/Pins on 4 (out of my 5 toes). Doctor says Crutches for 3 Months, NO LOAD BEARING ON YOUR FOOT! Well I can't use Crutches because I've had 4 Surgeries on my Shoulders, and 2 on my Right Hand (Work Related Injury). So I looked at "Knee Scooters", and picked that mode of Transportation. I researched them and thought, "If I've gotta use this, then I want it to be an Extension Of My Personality". So I picked one called the "Kneal Knee Cruiser". This thing exudes style and is Retro looking too. On top of that, it comes in 4 different colors, (one of them being the shade of Green, I want to paint my Truck)! This thing is made of Aluminum, w/Stainless Steel Hardware. Rack-n-Pinion Steering in the Front, with Disc Caliper in the Rear. I thought it would be appreciated here. Surgery is about 12 days away, but when I go out in Public, I'll be Stylin in this until; I can Drive my Truick!!! Got some "Rat Fink" Stickers piced out too.

Re: Stylin' after surgery
They are going for about $429.00-$475.00 (depending on the Vendor.
I found one on E-Bay with a "Name Your Price" and offered them $375.00 with Free Shipping and they took it. My Insurance will pick-up 80% of the Cost, because the Doctor gave me a Prescription for it.

Re: Stylin' after surgery
Can you get this paint? I was reading and a lot of people can't find it at paint shops. It's WA708S/GHS and I really like that color too.

Re: Stylin' after surgery
No need to be sorry.
It was a "Comedy Of Errors". First off I'm a Type 1 Diabetic with not a lot of feeling in my Feet. I initially broke 1 bone last May 2010. They cast it for 5 Months. By November last year it was 90% Healed. Then in January 2011 I heard it "Pop" again. This time I said "Screw It", and continued to walk on it, for another 6 Weeks. By the time I went to the Doctor in Late February, I had 4 Broken Bones, (one each Toe except the Big One). After 8 Weeks in a "Walking Boot" all 4 bones were "Non-Union", (not Joining/Healing). Surgery is May 19th. They said if I didn't get the Surgery, the Bones in my Left Foot would "Continue To Crumble".On top of this, I found out (through Blood Tests), that I had NO Calcium & NO Vitamin D in my Blood. Seems as though the Medicine I'd been taking for Acid Reflux the last 15 Years, BLOCKS the absorption of BOTH Calcium/Vitamin D. Needless to say, I quit taking THAT medicene 3 weeks ago, and have had NO PROBLEMS since. Probably more thsan most want to know, but I needed to Vent. (Rant Off).

Re: Stylin' after surgery
I have to ask... What Med was it?
"Seems as though the Medicine I'd been taking for Acid Reflux the last 15 Years, BLOCKS the absorption of BOTH Calcium/Vitamin D"

Re: Stylin' after surgery
Be careful taking the glucosomine, it really screws up some folks blood sugar.

My Trucks not hard to spot, (at least I havent seen another like it in the immediate area) Since January, its seen more "Shop Time" than Road Time. I've actually had it home about 2 weeks (Off/On) over the last 5 months. Its was in from Jan-April, for an Interior Restoration/Paint. Then it went back in to work/refine those "Bugs" left over. Now its in...... to tuck the exhaust up into the Frame. Next will be a Thumpr Cam Install and the Lokar Gas/Brake/E-Brake Pedals.
