I started watching one but it looks like one where the man is continually cheating on his wife so I'm bored with that. There's one coming on at 1:40 called 'The Cradle'; it sounds scary and I like scary movies so maybe that one will pan out.
Thanks for the rep gdude. I'm unable to rep you now. Gotta wait somemore I guess.
JDTH- That's the way I've always looked at it. There's always someone worse off somewhere.
You are absolutely correct. Look around, there always is someone who has been through more. I've had 14 surgeries on my right ankle, 1 on each knee (they both need to be replaced, but I am to stubborn to do so now) and 1 on the left foot. 17 total. I can function pretty well thanks to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. If not for them I would still be getting around in my little electric scooter. I thank God every day that they helped me out and I can still walk pretty much normally.

Wow, good for you.
What did you do to your ankle and knees? Sports?

Yep! Too much baseball. When I was 10 they (doctors) told me that I should quit playing. You know at 10 you think you are pretty much invincible. They were giving me cortisone shots at 10 and 11 to keep playing. I don't think they would do that today. I really have no regrets. I played until I was 32 (1987) when they had to fuse my ankle. I loved every minute of it and if the good lord would let me I would still be playing today. So now I raise money for the Little Leaguers here in Tempe. I coached them for 10 years but retired from coaching a few years ago, not because of the kids, just the parents can be so insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's cool that you like baseball, have played it and taught little league.
I had a friend that coached little league and he said the same thing, that the parents were psychos. They try to live there lives through there kids.
Are there certain exercises or stretches you do with your ankle and legs as a whole?
Also, would a chiropractor help you?

I haven't fished in years but I like it.
We rode our bikes down to our favorite fishing spot and caught and releasd Blue Gills. The heaviest one we caught was exactly 2kg=-=4.4lbs.
Our favorite fishing spot is pretty secluded and hardly anyone knows about this place.

Song,
I don't think exercises or chiropractors would help, but I am willing to try almost everything. I have tried pretty much tried everything from shrinks, hypnotists to acupuncture. When I am going through security check in at the airport I usually set off all kinds of alarms. I always tell them that I have enough metal in me to build the airplane. Not true, but what the heck. I have screws, pins, staples, rods, etc. in me. It is what it is. I deal with it everyday!!! No big deal!
I don't like baseball, I pretty much live it. Just ask my wife!!!
