I was told it would take 16 to 20 weeks to heal a bone in my foot. So I grabbed a pair of crutches and started the healing process. The gravity of how limited my activities were hit me very hard that day. Two weeks went by and I couldn't have been more miserable emotionally and physically. I needed to be a mother to four children still. With my husband away four or five days every week I was unable to do most simple things. I bought a knee scooter off of many recommendations form people. I could accomplish much more and get around much easier. However, it was still very difficult to do most things. Because my hands were busy driving it!!. How was I to get the milk to the counter? Or the pot of cooked noodles to dump in the strainer in the sink? So, I got on the computer to search out options and found this iwalk product. I ordered it immediately. It only took a minute to get my balance on it. Then I started doing everything again. I have been able to go on walks, go up and down stairs (this took some getting used to...I go down sideways) yesterday, I shoveled a couple inches of snow. The only thing I would change is the padding. Maybe they don't plan on someone using it for 20 weeks, but it packed out. So, I pulled it up and inserted some foam under the padding in to keep it comfortable. I can go sit down and take it off and set it next to me in class or a restaurant. Then I stand up strap it on and walk !!!!!

I almost bought this until I remembered on the show Mythbusters that they used ice, water and salt to chill a beer in a very short amount of time. I did this with a whole case of beer and had the whole case very very cold in a matter of 2 or 3 minutes. Just rinse the salty water off unless you like that kind of taste with beer.
