Yes worst injury ever for me, still in recovery... my heel is 100%, but my ankle is about 70-80% load bearing... been using only one crutch since mid January, frees up one hand. Some days I think I can almost go without & try little steps throughout the day and then that night it's numb, cold, sore; next morning swollen, can't put much weight on it for a couple days. Doctors - physio therapist warned me early on it could be a yr or more - could be life... it was 8 months last week.

I partnered up with another farmer this winter, he's 12yrs younger than me, much bigger farmer & has a well established crew of good workers, so that's some relief to me to keep farming at whatever level I'm able.

So you're back in the hobby again, good for you... did you keep any of your old models or did you sell everything yrs ago? I still have several of my Stahl models in good working order.
