I’m never gonna dance again
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh such a frustrating morning.
Justin Rix, the orthotist that I saw this morning for my Vacoped boot was brilliant. He’s a fan of the Vacoped having worked with ATR patients with Vacopeds in the UK. He fitted the boot for me at 15′ as this was the angle that the wedges in my moonboot were giving me (thought it was meant to be at 30′ for plantar equinus, not sure that’s the correct term) showed me how it all worked and gave me an article with a rehab protocol. Really thought I’d found the right place for my achilles as there’s a complete physio team, biokinetisists, all the rehab equipment and a swimming pool however, the physios there follow the resident surgeon’s protocol which is no physio and no weight bearing for 6 to 8 weeks. So now I start the search for a physio and a facility that will let me start early weight bearing and start with massage and active movement of my ankle?
Love my Vacoped, damm expensive R4995 which is about $500 or £310 and my medical aid won’t pay for it but know that this is the right boot for me……..this boot is made for walking, and walkings what it’ll do…….
