Strange, my first thought was, is it your clutch ankle or throttle ankle.

Love your new ride.

That's what I call a nice silver lining to a very dark cloud. Glad you survived to tell the tale and have found contentment and more importantly, the ability to walk again. Here's to a complete recovery.

You strike me as being a "glass half full" kind of guy from this post. Bully for you.
