Ms. Que BanhStephanie, 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 href="https://beige.party/tags/PeopleWithDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeopleWithDisabilities</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MobilityAids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MobilityAids</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LegBraces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegBraces</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Orthotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orthotics</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medical</a>

Ms. Que BanhBeautiful customized <a href="https://beige.party/tags/orthotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orthotics</a> at Fisher Building. It's not mine.

Ms. Que BanhAt 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.<a href="https://www.islandhealth.ca/our-services/children-youth-rehabilitation-services/orthotics-prosthetics-seating" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.islandhealth.ca/our-services/children-youth-rehabilitation-services/orthotics-prosthetics-seating</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/PeopleWithDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeopleWithDisabilities</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/orthotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orthotics</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Saanich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Saanich</a>

Diligence JonesFirst, 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 <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MiddleAgedHotness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiddleAgedHotness</a>. 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.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PlantarFasciitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantarFasciitis</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PlantationFascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PlantationFascist</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Orthotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orthotics</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Shoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shoes</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Feet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feet</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/LiberateYourToes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiberateYourToes</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/perimenopause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perimenopause</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GenX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenX</a>

Paul Turnbull 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇵🇸Was off to get molded for new orthotics. Things have come a long way in since my last ones 10+ years ago. In and out in 10 minutes as they have neat foam things for making the molds rather than the old plaster casting. They also have very nice greeter.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/orthotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orthotics</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/feet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feet</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/boopthenose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boopthenose</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/dog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dog</a>
