    I am a big fan of Bill the Cat. When I get tired of the scraggly black cat. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Re: Trimalleolar

      I must be improving. Nobody asks me about the limp any more. I'm not fast but smooth and steady all day. It still hurts (big surprise there), but not until the end of the day, and I can still walk. I'm doing stairs better.

      I finally broke down and bought a pair of size 10's to fit onto the fat right foot. They're really comfortable, and I think that's part of the improvement. =^..^=

        Glad to hear that cat. Now if we can get Paul back up to speed.

          It has been a while, how are you doing?
          (Hopefully well.)

            Re: Trimalleolar

            Well they kicked me out of therapy. Apparently I've made enough improvement to meet some minimum standard. I'll probably never be a gymnast or contortionist or ballerina, but I never was going to be anyway.

            I have a small hitch in my step going down stairs. Pain is only slight, and towards the end of the day, perhaps 3 thumbtacks. In the end I was able to improve all the different angle motions except dorsiflexion (that is 'up'). I suspect the limitation is due to the metal plates. Even with 240# on the leg machine, the ankle will move only 1 degree above 90. Improvements from now on will be more gradual, and just from walking, and doing normal stuff. I've been back on the ladder, and that's alright.

            Thanks for asking. =^..^=

              We're glad to hear that. As far as the ladder goes, just be careful on the dismounts, nothing fancy in the future.

                Actually, a friend and fellow member of Copytechnet attempted the same dismount, except landing upon his head. After a week to 10 days in the hospital with a concussion, he became aware of who he was. If I said so earlier that I landed in the worst possible way I'll amend that statement. My cognitive functioning is limited already. I can't imagine having any less. And people already said that I walked funny before. =^..^=

                  There was a news story i saw a few weeks ago.. (the guy actually is got a book out about it) About how him as an average to poor student, with no interest in math at all. Got knocked on the head in a robbery, got a concussion, then became a math wiz in geometry and the likes. I forget the name of the book, something like struck by genius or something like that.
