Another day, another brace. Having recovered from Covid, our orthotist Chuck has returned. Today is kinda same-old same-old with another new brace, copying a previous design. Look at her go! Okay, Mischief Managed. Now, anyone want to buy some Girl Scout cookies? LOL
Do you realize what month it is? It’s December. DECEMBER. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath (and not posting) since September. I’ve been waiting for the pain to start. The crying. The ripping off of her brace. The daily request for pain meds, and of course, waiting to Read more…
Beyond grateful to walk into this appointment saying, “No. she has no pain or redness.” Major win! Miriam got right down to business. Amy’s brace provides good contact if it’s held in place where the gap is. So, we decided to move her strap down further in her leg. That Read more…
Amy is having a rough time. A picture is worth 1,000 words, so let’s just see it. Big on the ouch. So, Amy hasn’t been wearing her brace much. Lots of hopping, resting, crawling, and knee-walking here. We had an appointment for yesterday, September 10th to get an adjustment since Read more…
Well… here we are, again. Yesterday was our standing appointment we had with Chuck (Actually Spenser) But we were supposed to see someone completely different. (Miriam?) But apparently, they cancelled out appointment. They said they called and left a message, but they didn’t. Someone else was given out appointment. Why? Read more…
Well, she made it a whole day. By the end of the day on July 29th, she was in tears from pain caused by her new brace. We couldn’t get in before today though. As a result, Spenser advised us to take the brace off, and go back to her Read more…
Well, July 14th came, and went. We arrived for her appointment only to find out that not only was her orthotist out sick that day, but her brace wasn’t ready. They had called and left me a message, but I hadn’t checked them. Boooo. Anyway, we were able to reschedule Read more…
Today was a big surprise! We made an appointment to meet Chuck, our new orthotist here at Hanger in town. He didn’t have any available appointments until July 7th, but they allowed us to come in today to get new velcro. (Hers was in super sad shape.) Hanger is no Read more…
Thursday took FOREVER to get here! January means rising before dawn. I asked Alexa how long it would take to get there. She reported back that “With current traffic, it would take 47 minutes to reach Hangar Clinic in Modesto.” I thanked her, because I see her as kinda a Read more…
Delivery day! I was grumpy today, because Amy’s Little Brother took a small part of her wheelchair off. I ordered the part he took (and lost!) from Medline (the wheelchair company) but I’m hopeful it will turn up. (Ugh!) 3 year olds, am I right? Positives: With shipping it was Read more…
