Ha, I actually swapped the original wheels back on. The big pneumatic tires were great in gravel and dirt, but offered a lot more rolling resistance. Plus, the wider wheelbase made it harder to get around in the house. It was worth a shot... and yes, as much as I wanted to pull my phone out while she was taking off the cast, might not have been the most appropriate thing to do. LOL
Shocking for sure. It's weird, you don't see a part of your body for a period of time and then BAM....there it is all mangled and covered in dried blood.
