I had an orthotics appointment today because my feet are very swollen so she scanned my feet so i will be getting shoes that will fit but i am most excited because i could use my banana board to get into my friend's car to get to the appointment first time in a car for a long time I'm exhausted now but knowing i can do that will open up things for the future

@sfkettles‍ was it the swelling that did not allow you to use the board before yesterday? Or what was limiting you?

Also, I am sure you will be so happy once you get some shoes that fit without causing discomfort or pain! That is another accomplishment for you!

The swelling in my feet didn't stop me but I had to get approval from the physio before i could use the board but once they saw us using it they were happy for us to use it when i needed to but it will be better with shoes especially as it is getting colder
