Hi Charlie,

Glad to see Dillon is doing so well.

Word to the wise on the western walking boot. Wearing one for too long will cause the ankle to no longer bend and freeze at 90º. The tennions run thru a sheath of tissue and both will grow together after time from no excercise.

I was in one for 7mths and it took another 3mths to pop the tennions loose where my ankle would bend past 90º, then another couple years before any range of motion was restored.

The orthopedic Doc never said a word about this little known problem when he first fit me for the boot.
