I broke My right foot @ 26 ish I'm a traveling sales rep. I gave the Dr. the max width that the cast could be so that I could drive my stick shift car.

He yelled at me and told me "Nobody will tell me cast-tech how to make a cast!"
He then tossed my cast measurements into the trash.

Cast teck set up the cast. I went out to the car. It didn't fit between the firewall and brake pedal so I cut it off! I went back into the office with out the cast, asked for the Dr. I had him pretty pissed off! but he took the paper out of the trash to give to the cast tech!

When I was 40 I broke my back at T-10 plus broke my heel off of the right foot along with a part of the right side of the ankle.

I told the Dr. the story of the first break. He followed directions!

I drove 3 weeks after the accident! with a chest brace and a cast from the toes to the knee.

I would pull up in the handicap space and hop from the door of my C6 Corvette to the hatch to get my crutch's. It took 5 1/2 months to get off of crutch's.
