Yeahā€¦ Must say, itā€™s a 2005 but I really have loved this car, and denting it makes me a little sad and a little angry. My wife thinks itā€™s not a big deal, but Iā€™ll probably go ahead and get it repaired. :wink:

It has bee a long time since living anywhere it might snow (though it snowed in Miami in 1977) But I kept hearing of folks having a ā€œWinter carā€ that was basically a used beater that would probably bump into things but they would not care.

I donā€™t know. Be a 3-car family? Seems decadent. :wink:

Usually something you could buy for $50 at that time. perhaps easier to keep back then.

These days itā€™s more often the other one I have to baby! Except when going down stairs; it still doesnā€™t like to flex quite far enough. But weā€™re getting there. :slight_smile:

Yikes! I have just about been bathing in Icy-hot trying to not rely on pills. When you take the load off one the other tends to feel abused. Enough exercise is good but past that I am not sure you are not doing more damage. You are the professional so may need to have a conversation that you would give someone else.

Itā€™s how it should be. :slight_smile: My surgeon said itā€™s healed nice and solid and I can do anything with it Iā€™d do with a normal foot. Iā€™ve never had a normal foot before, so Iā€™m still exploring the possibilities! :wink: One thing new is that I can stand on one foot on that side. I always thought my balance was just crummy, but it turns out my ankles just werenā€™t built right for it.

Before surgery, it was like you said ā€“ baby one and the next day the other one didnā€™t want to be walked on. The post-surgical one still gets a little sore and achy by the end of the day, but not the crippling kind of pain Iā€™m used to putting up with after too much time on my feet. It was an ordeal, but Iā€™m already really glad I did it!
