Today I ducked out of work and headed to the Cast and brace room at the doctors office. They fitted me for a post surgery knee brace. It is big and black and nasty with velcro and buckles like you have on a backback. There are two little round gadgets at the knee that you can either lock to keep the knee straight, or you can make it so your knee can flex to various degrees. I got to talking to the woman who was helping me and when I told her about my first surgery, especially the part about how my wooden crutches had no rubber stoppers, and they slipped around, and I had no knee brace, she was shocked!
Any way, 757 dollars worth of knee brace is in a blood red carry tote in my car ready for March 1st! I also started collecting change, you know, to pay for it haha. So far I have $12.87 !!!
