 Hey everybody, it's Jo. Welcome back. So this will be a quick video, but I wanted to take a moment to show you what they gave me when my cast came off two weeks after surgery. My hoodie just stuck to it. Anyways, and walk you through putting on and show you what it looks like. So first of all, they gave me this. This is a shrinker. It's like a really, really tight sort of thick sock. Now my thigh really doesn't like fitting at the top of it, so it kind of looks weird, but it helps protect the end of my stump, residual limb, whatever you want to call it. And it also helps the swelling go down, provides pressure from all angles, which is much better than wrapping with an ace bandage. So that's the first thing. The second thing is it's really important to protect your leg or whatever part of your body has been operated on from falling. So you may have something that looks different, but it's probably going to look like some version of this. This is kind of a brace. So I'm going to adjust the camera a little bit here so you guys have a better angle of me putting this on. So you see at the end here, it is like really hard. That's to protect in case I fall, hit my stump, then I won't get as hurt. So I basically just slide it on like this. I'm going to start at the bottom and work up. It's important that it's tight, but definitely not cutting off circulation. Now this brand in particular, you'll definitely see if you're working with creative technologies, orthotics and prosthetics. I'm not sure if this brand has gone all out to other places just yet. So like I said, yours may look different, but you'll probably have some version of this. When your cast comes off, if you have a cast before you get your new leg. Now, I cannot move my knee at all. It is like really, really stuck in there, which is a good thing. So that is what the brace looks like and a shrinker looks like. You'll probably get both of those after surgery. Not everyone has a cast, some doctors disagree with the practice, some doctors do it. Mine did. I had it for two weeks. Some will have it for four. It really varies depending on which surgeon you have. Regardless, you are going to have some kind of protective device after your whatever comes off before you actually get your prosthetic leg. So it looks like I'll probably start working with mine in about two or three weeks. Fingers crossed, hopefully, but in the meantime, I'm using this whenever I'm walking about. That is today's video guys. Let me know what requests you have and I will see you soon. Thanks so much.
