Re: Put On The Brakes After Foot Or Ankle Surgery

[Guest guest]

Wow, this brought back memories! I had surgery on both ankles consecutively

when I was 21 and took a semester off of college to be able to do it. The first

surgery was in July and the second foot was done in September. I figured he'd

operate on the right one first so by the time I needed to go back to school for

the spring semester, I could drive. Nope! He did the right foot second and I

spent a good part of that first semester back at school driving with my left

foot! Fortunately, I had a big old car with bench seats and I could just sling

my right leg over the seat and get it out of the way. Not very " ladylike " but

it worked, lol! It didn't take long at all to learn how to drive with my left

foot instead of the right one. I couldn't imagine trying to drive with the cast

and boot!!!
