This here is a picture of my Leg Brace - ain't she a beaut
Yes, it goes from the ankle to the top of my thighs
It feels like it weighs 20 pounds, but in reality probably only a few pounds, but enough, that I have to lift it, when getting it into and out of bed or just have to move the leg for any reason. I cannot put any weight on my right leg for six weeks....six weeks....
I can open her up, when I am not in motion, which is good, so when I have a itch on my leg, I can reach it, not just try to ignore it. I wonder if I can decorate this brace for Christmas?
It's bulky, so wardrobe this days have been nightgowns, instead of sweatpants. Sweatpants kept getting caught on the velcro and getting stuck.
Doc said, when I see him in two weeks, maybe we can have a different brace (please say yes). We will have to see. My Surgeon is in Hawaii right now....I tried to convince him that taking me with him would be good, and me mending on the beach would be amazing, but no dice. He did come and see me before he let for his flight on Saturday, to double check on how I was doing.
