Yeah, I've heard rumors of 30 large. I'll limp along on this for that sort of money. I can make me a polio style brace for far less than that. It is improving, albeit slowly but I'm only using the crutches maybe 25% of the time the last 2 days. ;-) I probably won't go far enough to properly break it in anyway since I'm already 79 & counting. Diabetics don't come with any warranty either. Ticker up and quit, generally with no warnings. > Most of the artificial joints made in the USA are made just west of me > about 30 miles, in and about Warsaw, Indiana ....
