The Create-A-Bed directions are very good and they are also very helpful with answering questions. Very satisfied with the product and no issues with the mechanism long-term.
Bentlyj - I'm hoping for a quick heal. Last foot break resulted in three DVT in my calf so avoiding blood clots is a goal this time!! Ironically, my husband was sick so I went out on the trails alone. We stayed on an open phone line, with my cell in my backpack. He could hear me in case I ran into trouble (e.g. I stopped to tie my outer shirt around my waist and he was "are you okay, I don't here your foot falls"). I had been out well over an hour, within minutes of the trailhead when my foot rolled and the bone broke. When I called out that I thought I broke my foot, he wasn't sure what to do. I jogged the rest of the way in (not sure how smart that was) and drove back home before taking off my shoe. Yep...xray the next day confirmed what I knew. Boohoo as I love cold weather hiking and running (no ticks!).
