Your brace does look great Rhea, it's a pity that it's needed at all! I

hope it's not to uncomfortable!

It's shocking that Ohip doesn't pay for the brace, it's a necessity!!!

Rhea - if there is velcro on the straps. check about getting both sides with one

side of velcro, that way the connecting strap can be the other " side " of the

velcro and you can have several straps to change to when they get wet!

Re: My lovely back brace photos

Hi Jill,

I have to wear it for three months. It has to be on if I do anything

other than lay flat in bed. And yes, it is waterproof :-) It's

designed that way so you can have a shower. The only problem is that

the straps take a while to dry, so if I were to go swimming I would

have to lay down to put the suit on, put the brace on, go swimming,

then find a bed again so I could lay down to take brace off to get

the suit off, and somehow get the brace straps dry again. It could

just work though! I see the brace guys at the end of the month and

could ask them for suggestions. I " m sure I'll figure something out

this summer :-)

Take care Jill :-)
