Over All Checkup

Ouchie. I broke a lot of stuff from my ankle end of last year, I feel your pain. Took me almost 3 months to be able to walk normally again, and usually the knee is even worse. There are few things that are worse than losing the ability to move around. If I break an arm I can still do probably around 90% of my routines... but when you can't walk without crutches then you are doomed. I hope you're recovery is going well.

With regards to the costs, this is one of those reasons why I always tell people to have that backup account that has enough to cover the expenses for at least a couple of months. We simply never know what life has in store for us.
