Stephanie, my trusted & excellent orthotist at Fisher Building, fixed both of my leg braces today. This is the left AFO - added foot cushioning & two new straps were put on to replace older ones that weren't holding up. My right AFO had specialty heel airhole cushioning & back of ankle padding added & I had her replace the top thigh strap too.

She has put in a funding assistance form for one specialty brace for my lower left leg to deal with some floppy foot & pain related issues when I try to sleep. Hopefully I get full funding assistance because orthotics are hella expensive to pay out of pocket for.

A close-up shot shows a person holding a light-colored AFO. The brace has black straps and a blue foot insert. Parts of a purple winter boot and a black sock decorated with white puppy paws are visible behind the brace. The background features a beige tiled floor.

Beautiful customized #orthotics at Fisher Building. It's not mine. My leg braces are both full length leg braces.

At Fisher Building orthotics.
The same place that made my first leg braces in 1980. I've never gone anywhere else. Many of the former staff there watched me grow from a child into an adult.

My few from sitting on a padded, dark blue exam table in a yellow-walled physical therapy room. Two legs, covered in black socks with white paw-print designs, are visible in the foreground. Behind the table is a cluttered room with physical therapy equipment, including a Biodex treadmill surrounded by metal handrails, a desk with a computer and office supplies, and several chairs

A physical therapy room with yellow walls, features a human skeleton model beside parallel bars which lead up to a mirror that reflects me wearing a mask, making a peace sign, and taking a selfie with a tablet. The room also includes a large anatomical chart of the human skeleton.

First, ignore the wet spot on the dog blanket. That's Benson waiting to be fed.

Second, I have officially officially entered the Comfort Orthotic Shoe Phase of #MiddleAgedHotness.

1. Dansko's pink/orange tennis sandal reminds me of the shoe my old amazing boss Laura would walk to work at the YW. (Watching her work her Board and mgmt team was an education. She was an Iron Maiden. I dug it.) I have officially become a Boss Lady, by that measure.

2. And Birkenstock's sandal gives some nice support to the PlantationFascist in my right foot.

(That's what I'm calling plantar fasciitis -- because it's giving oppression and pain.)

SIGH.
