All my friends wish I would stop talking about my foot. But being semi-disabled for 3 years tends to make you want to obsess about a thing like that. My foot was injured July 2005 while I was backpacking. It took a year to diagnose a osteochondral fracture of the talar dome. Say what? Basically I crushed my foot bone and ripped the joint cartilage off of it. Suffice to say, it was painful for a great while as my foot bone turned into swiss cheese. January 25, 2008 I had OATS surgery to graft part of my knee into my foot and had to stay off of it for 3 months. 9 months out now and I'm just starting to jog. I'm so thankful that I have one of the best ankle surgeons in the world living close by in Boise, ID., Dr. Michael J. Coughlin. So now I'm part of the on-going research into cutting edge ankle cartilage reconstruction. I'm glad I can give my foot woes to science. 
Now it's all fixed - look close, you can see my knee!
