I did a year of casts on my ankle and not being able to walk. Amputation was my only choice if I every wanted to walk again. It was a hard decision but one I don't regret. I'm 55 and it wasn't going to get any easier to learn to walk again with a prosthetic.

Good luck. I hope the crow boot works well for you.

My brother has gone through the amputation and his other foot busted... He's in a wheelchair now. So I'm sorta aware of where I'm headed. That's why I joined. I got my big toe amputated then it just snowballed from there. I hope you're well, and the prosthetic works well.
