iWALKFree Arrives!

Today I received my iwalkfree hands-free crutch (a.k.a., the peg-leg).

Okay so the included instructional video has this homely sort of woman assembling the peg-leg with me, but I have to say--that lady is secretly a special ops engineer. It took me five times longer than her to assemble the thing and it took all the strength I had in me. Okay that's not that much. Shut up. But, I got the thing assembled eventually and now that I've got the hang of making adjustments it's no big deal.

So how is it?

Well, it's day one, so I'm suspending ultimate judgment for a later date, but I almost took several nasty falls on it in my first jaunt, so it makes me nervous. The thing is, you have to kind of hyper-extend your hip back so that the peg part hits the ground the right way. I plan on making my trip to the mailboxes today with it so we'll see.
