Hi Barb, just a comment on the bone stimulator. These are used frequently and are very useful in accelerating healing, especially in a superficial bone. I saw your later thread so I am assuming that your consultant is happy now that the bone had healed enough to let you begin more weight bearing.On a side note my mother has had several foot operations and she used a cool kneeling scooter to get about on. You rest the injured leg on the scooter whose seat is at knee height and push about the place. This might be useful for the other post here. I'll try to find an image and if i can will add it to this thread.Or just type 'knee scooter' into google images and you'll see loads of them
