I am a hands on guy who can do almost anything. While working on my house, I fell off a 6' ladder and had a severe fracture of my left heal. (long story) I was using conventional crutches to get around but is was terrible. The upper pads were rubbing so much into my skin that it was causing a bad rash. The worst thing is that I couldn't do hardly anything. Try carrying a cup of coffee while walking with crutches. I was getting so upset that my wife had to do almost everything for me. I started to look online for other options and came across this devise. I watched the video and then I couldn't take out my credit card fast enough. The shipping was very fast and after I set it up for my left leg, I was up and walking around like there was no tomorrow. I did over do it the first day and I didn't let my left leg get used to it because the next day, my left thigh was burning. (well i haven't been using it for almost 3 weeks) That only lasted a couple of days. Now I'm doing everything that I used to do before my accident and I have my independence back. I can mow the yard, work in the garage, I have even been up on a ladder to get the Christmas decorations down. (don't tell my wife) and to top it off, the wife and I even went dancing 2 nights ago.

Lonely Planet is my go-to guidebook for all my travels. The Iceland guidebook did not disappoint! Lots of great tips and probably the most detailed source I have been able to find about where to go and what to do in Iceland. Tour areas like a native! I leave for my trip in August, I'll update how useful this guidebook was then.
