I got my AFO boot. It stops my foot from trying to turn itself over which is wonderful, since I turned my ankle three times in three days before getting it, despite wearing a lace up brace to stabilize it as much as I could. It took two hours for the tech/specialist/whatever-she-was to fit it to me, and she still didn’t believe that it rubbed on the bottom of my foot where I felt it, but she added some padding anyway. The relief of not having my ankle twist is worth it.
I have a picture of what the boot looks like, but I can’t figure out how to get wordpress to let me put it here this time. I’ll add it later if I can work it out.
The reason for all this. Well, the doctors still aren’t saying. The “tumor board” discussed me this week. My GP says that means they don’t know what’s up. It could be scar tissue. It could be tumor the can’t see yet. Oh joy. My vote is scar tissue. It makes sense to me. Especially since the last MRI was high res. But they’ll do another one in mid July and check for changes.
I am voting for scar tissue. Let’s put some serious energy and effort behind that “diagnosis”!
I’m sure you’re with me in wanting a good summer, so that’s all it’s got to be, right?
Yeah, I’m ready for a good summer. That’s two votes — you and I make the beginning of a majority. We’ll just bring everyone else along.
