I’m going to take a break from all my Christmas-themed updates today to bring you some exciting news about my day time AFO splints!
I was recently recast for a new splint on my left leg as we haven’t been able to create one that has fitted me comfortably yet. We’ve tried a few times now but I think we have finally got there!
Last week I picked up my new splint and I’ve managed to wear it for quite a few hours at a time now without it blistering me. It’s still a bit sore when I wear it though but that usually takes a while to pass. They’re a bit like new shoes in that sense. I’m going to take all of this as a good sign though!

I know what you mean they can take a bit of getting used to can’t they? Did you get your gaiters sorted?

it took me nearly a year to be able to wear my left one all the time!!!
My gaiter has been a nightmare!!! it got sent away to get different straps put on it, and when it came back, I found that they’d put the straps in the wrong place….. so I now have to wait until the new year to get them moved to where they’re meant to be…..
