The physio hasn't been by to get me vertical but I hope she'll be here soon. I'm still trying to digest the news that my bad leg is shorter than my good leg. Not quite sure how I can wear normal shoes. I guess I'll have to have steps or different sized heels. I think it's only an inch but enough to be a nuisance.Traction Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130413914192627361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3835152205968344114.post-48077470083771378692009-11-05T14:00:16.220+00:002009-11-05T14:00:16.220+00:00Mmm.
