Our oldest boy

Here's the full story from yesterday

So he woke up early and I helped him clean and gave him a snack

We were sitting on the couch and I was murdering Donkey Kong for a while. I had my walking boot off and my foot put. It's still very bruised and swollen.

So after a while of sitting still the need to pace became a bit too overwhelming so I put my walking boot back on and got up.

Daddy do you like wearing that

Not really kiddo

Than why are you

Well it will make my foot better in a few weeks and my foot own hurt and more.

I'm sorry your foot still hurts daddy. He got up and hugged me and went to his room.


A bit late he had his Afo's on.

Daddy I'm going to wear these more to so my feet will get better and I won't have to wear them any more. Just like you.

Yeah that brought tears to my eyes.


Oh this boy is such an amazing child.

I'm a bit lost - what are Afo's? Corrective devices for your son's feet - similar to your boot?

@Trav2024 AFO brace stands for ankle-foot orthosis. It is a brace worn on the foot and lower leg to support and control the ankle and foot, helping with a variety of conditions like foot drop, injuries, and weakness.

He walks on his toes and the braces are too help correct that

@Cigarguy Gotcha-gotcha. Was wondering if it was a brand name or some such. So, little man wants to be like Daddy and wear HIS footsie-fixers, too - good role model, my man. 👍

@geoam1 the cat attack my feet as I was walking down the stairs and I avoid stepping on him. Doing so I fell down the stairs and severely sprained my ankle. I'm in a walking boot for another few weeks. Other parts are sore as well but my ankle is the worst. The doctor was very surprised I didn't break it
