Blog post five first cast

After all the test results were in the doctors decided I was a idiopathic toe walker. This was ok. There are some really bad diseases for some toe walkers. I'm glad I'm an idiopathic toe walker.

Next on to castings. My orthopedic surgeon decided I should do serial casting instead of surgery. I go in every week and get casts on my legs. When I get my casts on the doctor puts a sock on my foot. He asks if I want the cast long or short. I put my foot on a metal stand and they bend it in place. They put fluffy stuff on. Next I pick a color. I picked neon green and glow in the dark. This was my first cast after it was off. 1-?

Muscles post four

EMG Post three

So after the orthopedic surgeon I had to go to a neurologist (big words). He wanted to electrocute me. Not exactly it is called an EMG. It was scary at first. But when I got to the end it was not that scary. I got to take funny juice to put me to sleep.

Blog post two

When I was seven I kept toe walking. So I went to see an orthopedic surgeon. I had a MRI scan. It was very loud and I was even wearing ear plugs. They were sponges squeezed into my ears. I had to stop. The next time they had to put me to sleep.

This is blog post one

I toe walked since I started walking. The first thing my pediatrician did was to send me to physical therapy. I was like three years old. We did some games and walking up stairs with no hand rails. At first it was fun. But then it was not fun. I had to ware night night boots. I took them off every night because they were uncomfortable. I hid them under my bed.
