No surgery! No surgery! Still in a state of euphoria after the orthopaedic doctor recommended other treatments for my very bum knee, I agreed to be fitted for this contraption. I pick it up next week.
First, Dr. Feelgood gave me a steroid shot. Walking better already.
I joked with my sports loving friends that my trade value was nil, and now a PED conviction.
The breast cancer industry got it right ... right away. . . with the flood of pink for ladies and the men who love them. When I asked the knee fitter guy what colors the brace came in, he said black, black and black.
C'mon entrepreneurs. And, not just for us oldsters. There was a waiting room full of young, athletic types limping around on their ugly canes and crutches.
At least my brace will be under the new very wide leg pants I plan to purchase. Please tell me somewhere, they are still in style.
Joan, really! I have a brace just like that. I know many very fit runners, tennis players, soccer players, ultimate frisbee players, etc. etc, who have a brace just like that. What's the problem? If it helps you walk so much the better to get on with your life!
