Socks

If you have read very many of my blog posts, you have read about Kimmie and her socks.

Kimmie loves to pick out her own socks and that usually means she is wearing turquoise socks whether they match or not. (She has more than one pair now.)

The surgery has frustrated her. She can no longer bend far enough to put her socks on herself. This makes her mad!

She loves to change her socks multiple times a day as she changes her mind about which pair to wear, but she used to be able to do it on her own. It's not quite the same when you can't bend down far enough to do it yourself and have to get someone else to help you. Sometimes she refuses to let us help her. She has tried bending her leg every which way to get her foot up far enough, but so far she hasn't figured out a way to do it.

I think, as she heals, she might eventually be able to bend at the hips more so she can bring her knees up farther, and then maybe she will be able to reach her feet. We'll see.
