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!).
