Na.. welcome to the cripple club. Always like to see temporary members -
keeps folks humble.

I am interested in any experience with the "hand-free" crutch for a knee
injury- seems would put a lot of pressure in the knee joint, unless the
stress was on the thigh. That was the most pain-in-the-ass part of
breaking my left knee, and no left hand. I lashed the crutch to my arm,
but it was not an optimal solution.

I's so blind I can't see my left hand, and I need new glasses - I see two
right hands. (hehe...)
