Brace Update

The brace didn't come in by Fri. so I won't have it for over a week now since I'll be in DE all of next week and the brace place is only open Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm. My doctor had told us that if it takes a while to get the brace, to purchase an ankle brace from sports authority that a lot of basketball players use. He said it won't be as effective as the leg/foot brace in forcing my foot to carry through on my strides, but it would be better than nothing. We purchased it last night and I've been wearing it today. It's not too bad, the only real complaints I have are that it's hot and it's ugly (but not as ugly as the brace will be). I do feel like I'm stepping better with it too. (I'm already gearing up to make my argument to Bob that this brace is all I probably need :-) The other good thing about the ankle brace is that I can wear it with flip flops :-)

So, are you going to look like a young Forest Gump when the brace comes in? Run Forest, run.

Forrest. I spelled it wrong twice. You have his legs, I must have his IQ.

Thanks for the laugh, Troy. That's the best laugh I'd had since an e-mail you sent me about Clinton!

Tash, I must be falling behind -haven't checked your blog since May started. And you're in DE. You should have told me!!! I would have run down for dinner. Or drove down... :-) Angie

Hi Angie! I thought about letting you know I was headed your way, but my days and evenings are usually packed when I'm there and I wasn't sure if I'd have time. I'll let you know the next time I go though and we'll see if we can meet up. Hope all is well with you and the family. You need to send recent pictures!
