BaJab's leg time


Another appointment in GR

BaJabs, Pam and I left bright and early for a leg fitting and a dr. apt.

Of course -- things did not go as planned :)

We are learning --- flexibility!!!

We arrived and the leg that Mr. Mark made was TOO BIG!
The swelling in BaJab's leg had gone down LOTS -- 
so the leg he made from the mold made 2 weeks ago was big because her leg shrunk!
She is also experiencing some pain where the pin was pulled out.

 Trying on the leg!

Mr. Mark did get the leg WORKABLE but decided to re-mold her for a NEW leg.  We would go home with the rough leg and come back later next week for ANOTHER fitting for ANOTHER new leg.

 Walking on it for the first time -- yes, she is limping.  It was very sore.

 Getting ready to mold --- AGAIN!

Molding -- thankfully, it is easy AND painless!

Dr. F did not want to meet with us.  I have to do some massage and tapping therapy on her stub.  
The stub had been VERY protected for a long time.  It has to tough'n up :)

The appointment with Mr. Mark was over 2 hours long -- Oh, my!!

Walking SLOWLY out to the car -- with Pam.

Off to the gluten-free bakery --
AND
BaJab's decided on Qdoba's for lunch. 

Pam and I had fun catching-up as she had been gone for 2 months at her daughters.  We did lots of waiting and driving.  BaJab's is so easy when it's just her :)  She loves having both Pam and I to herself.  

We are hoping for a GOOD leg --- soon!!!


UPDATE:
Friday, March 30 --- 
Matt took BaJab's to GR for a fitting on the NEW-NEW leg. 
 BUT 
had to leave the not so good leg with Mr. Mark because some of those parts had to be used on the good leg.  SO, another full week with NO leg.  Not in our plan -- but we are FLEXIBLE!
 Trying out the NEW leg.

 Making more adjustments.
AND
for the record -- Mr. Mark HATED her shoes!!!  BUT she wanted to wear fancy fashion boots and that would of been even worse than crocs :)

Loving her smile!  No worries -- she did not walk out like that ;)  She brought her scooter!

AND
Daddy took her at the last minute because mommy is SICK!!!  I had to go to the doctor.  The start of Spring Break and yep, I am SO sick!  Thankful for a husband that could rearrange and take her! 
AND
BaJab's LOVED having daddy to herself for a bit :)  
They came home with a secret -- 
hmmm.... daddy took her out for some kind of yummy treat!
