My wife lost 1cm of length on one leg from a mediocre tib-fib fracture repair about 20 years ago. One of the bones didn't lose as much as the other, so her ankle is all kinds of wonky. Is this the kind of thing you can repair?

Thanks for answering! We're in the US, but I have really good insurance, so we could probably get it covered by a US provider. Follow up question, which is my wife's primary concern: How long is the recovery period from this before regular load bearing activities can be resumed? She spent most of a year in a wheelchair when she broke her leg and had to relearn how to walk again, she's not very keen on repeating that experience. This was all before the advent of the knee-scooter, so I'm assuming there wouldn't be nearly as much or any wheelchair time past the hospital stay.

You could set up something with a Camelback type drink tube as a toke tube, with a button on the handlebar for turning the vape on for a toke.

Oh, wow, that would make so much sense. Think about the name. They call her Suri, like the surrogate bodies in that Bruce Willis movie, Surrogates. She is a surrogate body for LRH's soul. Freaky.

My partner and I live in a 40ft diesel pusher motorhome, about 28K lbs loaded, plus a 4K lb car towed behind us. There are a shocking amount of people that try to merge onto the highway without even looking. We've had so many close calls with people that want to just jump right in front of us while moving 20mph slower than we are, we mostly stay in the middle lane of three lane highways with lots of exits. A few weeks ago, twice within 10 minutes in New Jersey on the interstate, we had to blow the air-horn at someone trying to merge right into our front corner. We've only driven about 5K miles in it so far, but it has completely changed our perspective on driving.
