and I didn't think I could support myself using a walker. I have some osteoarthritis in my hand and Dan, Ray, my wife and I and two other friends took Brendon out a couple of days prior to the surgery. It was a "Boisterous" day on the bay and my hand took a hit. It got wacked with a winch handle, go figure. After last night I'm rethinking the issue. A walker for three weeks? Mine was a partial where they just cut off half the bone so maybe that's why he was talking two weeks before I'm suppose to be "getting along pretty well" (what ever that means?). My wife won't let me out of the condo because she thinks I'll do a swan dive into a dumpster. Maybe a walker will help. I'm only two doors from the elevator and my car is almost as close to the bottom of it as you can get so there might be a trip to the walker store in the morning. I'm going to use the one we had for Denny but she wore the back pads off of it dragging it up and dawn the dock. That and the wrist were the reasons I defaulted to the crutches. Probably not a good decision.
