Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou….No really THANKYOU. Oh my goodness, What a week. What started our as my latest blog post, about my little project, to get Veronika a hydrotherapy spa, to give her every chance to
Back to the normal routine…..
Well our boys Jordan 8 and Jakob 6, have been back at school for 2 weeks, which means that Veronika and I have gotten back into the swing of the usual 4-5 Doctors/Allied Health Appointments a week. I try to slow it down over the school holidays as much as I can, so I don’t have to drag the boys to all Veronika’s appointments! Don’t get me wrong, we still have 2-3 a week, but its so hard for them to stay quiet, maybe a combination of being boys and its not all about them while I am talking to the Doc/allied health person, so they tend to misbehave a little.
Two weeks ago we went to the foot orthoptist and got Veronika’s foot orthotic for her right(good) foot. As when she is standing at the couch her right ankle is collapsing. Her left foot has had an AFO(ankle and foot orthotic) for around 6 months and it is really helping keep her foot in the right position. Well I have found it really hard to get the foot orthotic over her right foot, as it seemed really tight, and to get it on correctly was a 2 person effort. So when we saw the foot orthpotist today, she agreed, and went off to heat it up and stretch it. Then she came back, put it on her foot again, had a look and went off to heat it up and stretched it again, and then cut a bit off. When she came back she had a look at it, and said, “you know what, I think I am just going to start again, I just had a look and I still have her plaster cast.” I was slightly relieved to know that it wasn’t just me that couldn’t get it on to Veronika’s foot. So we will be going back in 2 weeks to get a new foot orthotic!
