Sorry dude. That sucks. I have 2 bad knees, so I know how it is to hurt all day long... No fun...

Sad to hear that you may have to start going bionic. Looks like a cool ankle, though.

Prayers for you.

If this doesn’t work, well then, bye, bye foot.

Sorry to hear about your bad HOOF. I too am walking around like Hopalong Cassidy ( old Cowboy movie star to you youngsters) .
I am not going to get a new ankle because at my age it would outlast me and I do not want the Medical Mafia getting rich off my HOOF and it would be the only thing to to survive creamation.

Best of Luck

Hang tough Toni. I don't know about the ankles but old guy around the corner got both knees done. He walks better than most of the young'ins. Told me he wished he would have done it 10 yrs earlier.Good luck.

I wish the were bionic... well then again. You know how much that would cost!

I’d have to have two bionic ones otherwise I’d run around in circles. I always wondered how the six million dollar man was able to run without scrapping the back of his head on the pavement or running in circles. If I recall correctly, he only had one bionic arm so the other one would be like limp spaghetti compared to the bionic one.

It could always be worse buddy. Hang in there.
