Almost a new leg, but not quite.....



The old leggie

How dirty is the old foot?

The old foot!

Today we had a visit to the limb centre, it was just supposed to be a quick check to make sure Paddy was walking o.k, and that stumpy was also alright. I mentioned to Jason (Paddy's limb fitter) she hadn't been walking quite right, sort of on the inside of her foot, and that also her prosthetic foot wasn't as big as her other one anymore, Paddy must have grown!!!!

So what ended up being a quick visit, ended up with Paddy getting a new foot, and some height added to her leggie. Jason asked us would we like some new fabric on 'magic leg', and of course Paddy was very keen. They didn't have a huge selection of fabric at the limb centre as this was a bit of a surprise to us, but we did find a rather fetching rainbow fabric.

Paddy will be getting a new leg in a couple of months, but they did a fantastic job of jazzing up the old one!! Thanks Jason and Angela!

That old foot sure does show how much Paddy loves to get around! Congrats on the spiffed up leg... it looks like new! Can the toe nails be painted?

Love it! Just a rainbow kid! I'm jealous that Paddy has a split toe- Madeleine has been asking for flip-flops :(
She has to be at least two sizes bigger to get that kind of foot.
