You two are right, I didn't listen. It's getting ugly, I'll get off it soon. Mark Atleast we'll learn what happens, maybe someone will learn from my error.

WEIGHT SHIFT.

I'm not sure I can. The owie is on my left ankle, caused by my AFO's. Had the ortho grind out a relief spot.
I'm a semi-walker, so this is minor stuff. Although if I hopped on my right leg, oh thats right don't do hopping either.

Your on as soon as we can talk booktrout into letting me have them. That's kinda why I wanted to start with a goat. I'd enjoy making my own cheese.
Of course this is still in the dreaming phase, I've got tons of reseach to do yet.
I did cave and got my daughter 2 floppy ear bunnies. She's pretty happy.

Thought I'd update this thread. As of yesterday my pressure sore has been downgraded to Level 1. Crazy how long these things take to heal if you don't stay off them. The Podiatrst put some new bovine skin growing mesh on last week, it may have helped some, who knows. He gave me 30 more days to let it heal then he said he may have to grind off some bone under my ankle. My first thought was, how about grinding more off the AFO first. We'll see.

Good to hear that it's healing Mark, slowely but surely

I cringed when I read about the grinding of your bone, what's the purpose of that?!
