About Me

I am a below knee amputee. More importantly, I am also Mommy to two boys, a very active 10 year old (Robby) and an mischievous toddler (Timmy). I have learned that being a parent with a disability can create some unusual and sometimes humorous situations. This blogger is available for hire! Let's talk and learn how a blog can expand your business.

Shep or Treat

 I have a brand new pair of Nike sneakers and OMG- the difference in my leg pain is overwhelming. Within a minute of donning the new sneakers the pain radiating up through my leg and into my hip started to dissipate. While I'm still sore from overusing muscles, the constant strain and pain is gone. 

Last night I realized that I am at an age where I cannot purchase shoes simply by their appearance. My need for a structured insole and support will not be swayed by fashion. I only have one biological foot remaining and I really do need to take better care of it. I'm thinking I need to explore socks with arch support next.

The socks will have to wait though because tonight's event has been on our calendar for weeks. Robby has invited Timmy to campus to participate in "Shep or Treat" with him. (Last year we didn't know what it was so Robby did not register in time.) Hamlet has hardly been able to contain his excitement. He is ecstatic to spend the evening with his big brother at his college. The fact that they will be trick-or-treating and getting candy makes it even better!
