It goes all the way up his thigh. Right now that is ok, but in summer I'm sure that is going to get hot---I'll probably be cutting them down. <br />Giving that left leg a little bit of a turn helped later in the day. So, we are making progress.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162513882796014350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017204839704537543.post-58576436561355906102012-01-12T19:09:52.570-08:002012-01-12T19:09:52.570-08:00Joe is supposed to wear a nylon between his leg an...Joe is supposed to wear a nylon between his leg and the insert to reduce friction...don't know if that would help you out...yeah, when they get jumpy about working the leg on and off, it takes a lot of patience.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103378389155773502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017204839704537543.post-53552908717693139562012-01-12T10:28:28.392-08:002012-01-12T10:28:28.392-08:00I think I'm the one that needs the weight trai...I think I'm the one that needs the weight training.=)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162513882796014350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017204839704537543.post-84095274748615326542012-01-12T10:27:31.399-08:002012-01-12T10:27:31.399-08:00Chris, it seems we've got the insert figured o...Chris, it seems we've got the insert figured out. It's the leg going on that is causing the "problem". As I was taking it off today I paid close attention and it seems to almost comfortably turn on it's way off. We've been trying to put it on "straight" so next round today I'm going to try that little turn and see if it helps.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162513882796014350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017204839704537543.post-71986538463634818162012-01-12T09:38:37.043-08:002012-01-12T09:38:37.043-08:00Get therapy ASAP..is making a huge difference for ...Get therapy ASAP..is making a huge difference for Joseph PLUS you aren't the "bad guy" making all the work.<br />As to the leg being tight...could be that his swelling isn't down as good as it should be. Is it his insert that is tight or the leg..not sure what kind of set up you have. Or is the insert not sliding into the leg properly?<br />While carrying him is a bonding thing...gets old real fast!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103378389155773502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017204839704537543.post-87720408997521817712012-01-12T05:34:07.246-08:002012-01-12T05:34:07.246-08:00After Peter's P90X Extreme, 42 pounds should f...After Peter's P90X Extreme, 42 pounds should feel like nothing.kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784758015653877635noreply@blogger.com
