Best of luck Scott!
I survived a pretty bad motorcycle accident (tib/fib with four pins in my leg) and I got along fine... but that was 30 years ago... and not up 20 stairs.

When the Doc gave me the bad news I asked about recovery, he said "a couple days in the hospital... and maybe a little while in a convalescent hospital" I didn't say anything but I think he saw the NFW in my eyes... he looked me up and down and said "but you probably won't need that".

My wife is panicking/overreacting... perhaps if I show here I can get up/down the stairs hopping on one foot (two 1 1/2" pipe railings).
