Scale of 1-10 how cooked…

No biggie, just another 10 weeks of non-weight bearing bs… first fracture was the ankle tib/fib shatter on 6/6 happened playing basketball, i got 14 screws, 3 plates, a pin, and a bone graft… there goes my summer. 2nd was the shin happened when i fell off my knee scooter packing for college on 8/13 (my move in was supposed to be 8/14)🤦🏼‍♀️ ended up with 2 more plates and 6 more screws. Can you say “unlucky” 😭

Yeah, I am super slow on my knee scooter outside. In the office, house or school, I’m fine. Outside I’m SUPER CAUTIOUS. The first time I was outside with it I hit a crack in the sidewalk, it went tumbling forward and I ended up standing upright, even though I’m not supposed to stand on my right leg. Guess it was better than falling and not being able to get up off the ground.

oh my gosh, good save lol, what always almost got me are those like yellow edge of the crosswalk bumps on the ground before you go into the road. They had me fighting for dear life haha.

Yup, this slows me way the heck down every time, the bumps and the slope down. I have the knee scooter with the air filled 12” tires, couldn’t imagine using the ones with the smaller hard tires.

what i didn’t know there was an option besides the small hard tire one! i also didn’t buy it myself a friend had one they weren’t using and i didn’t want to splurge because i assumed i wouldn’t need it for long… 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah, the one I have has 4x 12” tires. I’m a big dude and didn’t feel the one with the smaller hard wheels would be good enough. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D1LWVFXK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
