    After I broke my leg and ankle, it took me about 5 Months where I could walk without a limp. Now 6 of those weeks I was still in the cast. So at work, I was walking with a limp. I stayed off the top of Airplanes for about my first 6 weeks back to work. So I basically stayed on the bottom, and I cleared all the paperwork. So with that, it was 3 Months before I was able to go up and down steps 20 times a day and navigate around all the openings on top of the jets..

    Now it was almost a year before I could run without a limp. So being an Umpire I stayed of the 90 foot bases, and stayed on the Little league, and Pony League fields. They are 60 and 75 foot bases.

    And what I mean by that is the distance between each base.

      But you should continue to wear the brace in court - pity card? Whatever works! :D

      That is sure better news than what you were anticipating and for that I am glad. :icon_toast:

        I agree.

        Also, create a story (the truth usually works :lol: ) on the reason for your gimp. When I had jury duty this past week, one attorney had a little bit of a cracked voice. He told of cheering on his son's high school football team (and his daughter performing in the half time band) and later used a football fan analogy to get his point across. It's a good tactic to get the jury, or potential jury to relate to you and your client.

        Conversely, one defense attorney lady was dressed very homely and had a mousey voice and personality. I doubt her appearance and the way she carried herself helped her client in the mind of the potential jury.

        Humor and relating to a jury on a human level, have merits, IMO.

          These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
          one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

            :icon_eek:I shan't say what I saw upon first seeing this post:no::icon_redface:


            However... upon further review those things could lead to your Achilles tightening back up and going "snap" again :beat: Please use that great brain of yours and don't do something out of stubborness that leads to reinjury, ok?

                Hope the rehab is going well, Chippie.

                  Chispa I am very happy to hear that everything healed up ok and you back to "normal"? hehe :icon_tease:

                  I myself just got out of that boot device, I have planter fasciitis and wore one for a month. It is nowhere near what you wnet through but still sucks. :tdown:

                  Hope to see you at a game next season!:abq2:

                  Chispa, sorry for the late response, I've been kind of "hit or miss" on here lately, (sicko grandkids).

                  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
