After a month in a cast which covered both legs with two bars connecting them, Miss K was fed up. I was too, with all the bruises I got from knocking on the bars when carrying her. The most uncomfortable one was on the tip of my knee, so kneeling (which I do most of…
Miss K has been out of the original cast for about three months now, but alas, although I stretch and position her when I’m at work, for the other 21 hours when I’m not working with her, she is taken out of the cushioning and left in any position. This has caused her brain to…
Miss K’s surgery and hip spica cast was back in September and October. For one leg it’s made a massive difference as well as making her spine better. The other leg though is not working as well as hoped, because her muscle memory is still telling that leg to turn in. I can do her stretching…
