Spoke with Dr P again...

[Guest guest]

Without my saying anything, he knew exactly what my concerns were and addressed

them!!

He is definitely an amazing man!!

He said the angles on the shoes are fine, if I could find a cobbler to adjust

them, I could do

so, but it wouldn't affect things if I left everything as is. I told him we

were thinking of the

s and he excitedly told me what degree angle to tell when we send

the

impression kit back, so I believe that's a resounding approval of the use of the

brace!! He actually said " oh, yes, that would be the best " when I asked about

using them! :-)

So that's where we sit. I will send the kit back and with any luck by the end

of January we'll

be in the s!!

Yippee!

I don't think you'd need a cobbler to do it. If those are screws,

you could drill a hole in the bar and re-set them. He must be saying

this about the abduction because your notes said 60 degrees. They

may be around that angle, hard to tell exactly from pics. What was

the degree he told you to tell about?

Ummm... so he didn't yell at you for questioning all this like the

nurse? wow... lol! I'd still tell him about it. He needs to know,

next person she gets and treats that way may not be as forgiving.

I have no idea how to adjust the shoes... there is no obvious way to remove the

shoe or

the " bolts " to adjust the rotation. Dr P said his feet would be fine as is if

we're unable to

change the setting. If you look at the photo, there's not much room to relocate

the shoe's

position, anyway.

The s are to be right foot at 60 degrees and left at 20.

Dr P was wonderful, not thinking that I was second-guessing him or anything like

that, so

that's good! 'Cause I wasn't!! :-) I felt like a huge burden was lifted from

my shoulders to

get my questions answered in a non-attacking manner!!

So, we'll see what happens between now and when the s are made...

has

been pretty miserable for the day today. Very fussy and not napping well at

all. He also

got up many many many times overnight and crabbed. Now that he's not in the

brace at

the moment, he's quite the happy boy, so I suspect he's adjusting to his new

movements

and confinement. :-)

We'll just have to deal with the fussing and hope it gets better soon!
