AFO

well, about two months ago, i went back to the P.A hospital and had my one month review for getting some botox into ell's (Emily's Left Leg) calf. mrs. mouse walked me to BIRU, where i lay down on a plinth and took off elf's footwear. mrs. mouse examined elf, before deciding that my calf had changed somehow (more straight? more relaxed? sth like that, anyway) and i'd need a new AFO. so PIG mum booked me in to see rod sometime mid-november. he greeted me in his usual way, "you. get in." :P and after examining ell (does the guy ever get sick of grabbing people's legs for a look? :P) agreed with mrs. mouse and promptly casted elf for my new AFO. he lemme sign the cast; i wrote with blue pencil, 'rod BROKE my leg! >< o_O :P'. then rod said he'd try to have the AFO done by early december and farewelled me with the same way he greeted me with. "get out." :P
december started, and PIG mum rang to chase them up. so i went back like three days ago, and there, sitting on the table, was my brand spanking new AFO! the new bright red monkeys with bananas is quite different to my old blue tornado pattern!
so rod stuck ell into the new AFO, took it for some readjustments, came back, and repeat several times. i hobbled a bit around the room for him.
only bad thing, this new one hurts! >< walking up to the toastmasters froom last night was an owiee. >< PIG mum tried to ring rod and make an appointment so he could fix the thing; but he's away! >< think i'm seeing some other random tomorrow ... anyways, hope he can fix it!
anyways, PIG mum's gleefully forcing me offline now; fingers crossed that i can come back online after dinner!
cheers,
em. ^^
