I tore my ACL, Menescus and bruised my leg bone about 6 years ago on the same day.

I had to have a wheelchair to get to work.

Wheelchair Boogie When you are young it looks like fun "I want one of those!" You say. You beg a classmate to let you ride around in hers. You do not want to give it back. She smiles, glad to have pleased you. I have always loved them Until I had to be in one for three months and ten days They are not as thrilling as you think

Good to have around! No fun to be in one. I, too had to be in one four years ago but red hot and raring to go. Pushed myself beyond limits and was able to not be in one long at all. Glad you are better Panagiota

I was on a walker until a week before my grandson was born. That was the incentive I needed to try to walk without it. The trouble was my fear of falling again.
