Has anyone ever used a Roll-A-Bout versus crutches after non-weight bearing foot surgery? If so, was it beneficial? More convenient than crutches? How did you find the contraption? Since I'll be having 2 surgeries the 2nd after the 1st heals -- I'm curious about ANYTHING that helps mobility.
Also: any recommendations for articles to have on hand before the surgery? Any special items that should be next to bed?
Thanks for your in-put, I'm super nervous about having to be so totally "dependant" while bed bound !!!
