You may notice all the straps. That is so that it can be tightened to hold my leg in a firm clasp. They say that this is to support my weight while the bone heals. Now, I can only put forty pounds on it. I'm not sure that justifies all this:
- Loss of circulation to the foot, which now swells more.
- Soreness around the ankle from the brace sliding down onto it.
- Pokes and rubs to various tendons and bony surfaces.
- Added weight to my leg to drag around.
However, from my point of view, the dear Lord never meant for us to be crustaceans.

Wow, there is a lot more to that than I thought there would be. It really is like an outer shell. No wonder it takes so long to get it on and off and someone has to help you.
That looks like something off of a sci-fi movie. I guess they released you, but not your leg. It will have to be imprisoned awhile longer.
My Heck Elaine.That thing is hugh.I have to agree that it does look like something from a sci-fi movie. I bet you are counting the days that it will come off.
