A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

BRACE YOURSELF
Today is the day Happi got her wrist brace. We went to the orthopedic prosthetic specialist and she had made a little brace for Happi's front leg. It took a while to get it on Happi's leg. It reminded me of that movie , Dolphin Tale, where the dolphin was born without a tail and they put a prosthetic on his tail to allow him to swim.
It took forever to get the brace on Happi, she didn't like it, then she had to get used to walking with it on. It took much longer than the doctor anticipated. Poor Happi was getting tired but the biscuits kept her going. Finally the brace fit and it was my turn to try to put the brace on her leg. I would give myself a Grade C+. I'm going to have to work on it.
This evening I met up with someone I have not seen for almost 15 years. It was super fun to catch up. We have vowed to stay I touch. It was like the last 12 years never happened.
Until tomorrow...
