Today I am wearing my new boot, which is really more like a brace. Its really rather subtle, comparatively speaking and despite having like 56 velcro straps. The old one looked like Darth Vader’s leg and had about 112 velcro straps. So, huge fan of the new one b/c mostly it just looks like an ankle brace AND allows me to wear a shoe. I haven’t had a shoe on my right foot in over two weeks so this is a treat. Since I actually own the Darth Vader boot, they weren’t interested in a trade-in at the ortho’s office, I was able to do Before and After photos just so you can fully appreciate the freedom that I am experiencing today.
Before doing "everything perfect these past two weeks"
After doing "everything perfect these past two weeks"
I do think this marks the end of any more random stranger ankle/water/kickball stories b/c the new brace is so inconspicuous that I actually look mostly like a normal person, aside from my peg legish limp. Although maybe now I’ll start getting random stranger pirate stories . . “On the high seas, your ship attacked, and the Dread Pirate Roberts never takes prisoners.”
My new brace and I are off to PT. If its at all noteworthy I’ll let you know.
