hey tom, honestly, some sort of block to place under the feet of the ladder to help spread the overal weight distribution and to help give it a little more stabability,

Are you thinking of a type of outrigger pad? Because that sounds like a great idea. Even a 1'x1' square piece of plywood would do the trick. That would distribute weight well.

We try to get guys back into the mix as soon as safely possible when they get injured. maybe you can tell your boss that you are strapped for cash, and he has some light duty stuff you can do till you're better. lots of light maintenance can be done sitting on a footstool. good luck

Jaws ladders are good. They're part of the Featherlite family.

Good point, actually probally a good time for a lot of the little things that get over looked because of their seamingly unproductive nature. Like saw maintance, orginizing paper work, and the hundreds of other things that are routinely over looked.

How you doing familytree? You should cross the threshold pretty soon where it feels a LOT better. Don't be fooled, re-injury is right there waiting on you. Ease into it, go slow and build up the muscle tissue around the injury to better support it.

While you are starting back I highly recommend that you get a good lace-up ankle brace. it will help reduce your chance of reinjury-you can abandon it in a month or 2 when the ankle is no longer weak and twingy.
