Something interesting happened while at the doctor’s office recently that I thought was worthy of sharing. It involves my Shoe Lift Fitting and a tkr. Here is an excerpt from my upcoming ebook:

My tkr leg is shorter than the other, a topic I have written about in previous posts. Well, while being measured for a new Shoe Lift, I was continually asked “how does it feel?”  And..that’s where the strangeness begins.

How is one supposed to know how  it feels if there is no joint to feel with? I was totally perplexed. Before my tkr, it was easy to know how my knee felt since I still had a knee. It may not have been operating as “normal”, but I still had a joint that told me how everything was and felt.

When I was asked “how does it feel?”,  I didn’t answer for a while. I couldn’t figure it out. It was very confusing. Finally, I felt my hip bones to see how they were aligned. And, the doctor did the same. The entire issue is still perplexing to me.

So, anyways…the correct shoe lift size was determined ……
