Skip the fall, keep the scooter, Greg advises

Our neighbors, Greg and Phyllis, spend winters near Phoenix, usually golfing and running around in the sun. Their plans were altered somewhat, however, when Greg took a tumble shortly after they returned from their Christmas break in Minnesota. We checked up on Greg today, and here's his cheery response from Arizona:

Hi Stan and neighbors,

Greg grilled salmon for
the neighbors

Thanks for asking about us (Greg).
Yes, I suffered a nasty fall down a steep hill while volunteering at the Waste Management/Phoenix Open two weeks ago. This has resulted in surgery at Mayo to include plates, screws, casts and two months of no weight on the leg. However, I do have a nifty bright red scooter to get around on. If interested, get the scooter but skip the ankle break part. 

Two weeks after the surgery I lose the post-surgical cast (huge and heavy, although purple) and get a fiberglass cast for 6-8 weeks. Then, hopefully, by the time we make our return to Minnesota, I will be in a walking boot for ?? weeks/months.
We keep up to date on your weather daily. Not as bad as getting around on a red scooter, but bad enough. We hope the weather improves and that you are all happy and healthy despite it.
See you all in May.
Greg & Phyllis
