Stay off the ladder, Dave. I have a friend who is in her late 40s who mis-stepped on a stepladder and completely shattered her ankle and broke her knee. After her mishap I stopped using stepladders.

Every once in awhile during the winter I think that I should take up snowboarding as I live 5 minutes away from a ski/snowboard mountain and even have a shuttle that runs from my neighborhood to the mountain on weekends but with all the hardware I already have in my leg I figure I better quit while I am ahead as the saying goes.

My biggest fear using a ladder since my ankle surgery is the limited flexibility for that ankle (10% of normal). I was on a step ladder today installing roll down blinds in my art room because the sun is too bright in the mornings. So what did I do? Fell off the damn ladder. My frozen foot was on the first step and I went to bounce up to second step with my good one. The step ladder has a front hand railing so all should be good. Just when I did that the backside of my tennis shoe caught on the base of a rolling cabinet beside it. Not pretty. Boy, am I sore. Twisted both my good ankle and lower back. Thankfully my artificial hip seems ok, so I feel lucky. Might have to wait a few days to finish that project.
Rick loved this at lunch today.
