And they're off!

So I went in on Monday and they put my casts on but then I had to get them cut about 2 inchs off  because they were rubbing on my ankles and it hurt. Then they started to hurt in a different way because they were sliding down, making my knees hurt.  So they are taking them off  today. Because they are taking them off today they have to do the osteotomies on my knees for sure. That will make my heal time longer but that is ok because that will make my knees feel better in the long run! I will keep you updated. Kamryn





Casts before surgery

Hi it is Kamryn again!  I had to get casts on before surgery. I went to the Doctor on Monday and they put them on. It took them about an hour.  Here is how they did it.  They slipped something on that was sock-like so the casts won't rub because it would give me blisters. Next they got a casting material wet and started wrapping it around my leg. After a while the casts hardened.  Then they asked me what color I wanted and I said, 'Blue and green stripes.' I will post pictures very soon!
