I managed to find $8.95 knee braces on ebay and am getting them sent to a shop for safe collection. Had some but decluttered themβ¦ the ankle braces donβt have my size.
Melbcat has been refusing wet food and nibbling at dry food so Iβve given her some nausea meds and will see if those get her back on track.
gentle hugs for knees, rest and take good care of them
me, don't tell anyone but once I lose a goodly amount of weight I think I will start wearing a corset for back support
A figure 6 and figure 8 ankle strapping {tape} are pretty simple.
Yeah. I have some around here.
Edit: inspects handiwork Well... close enough? I just hope I got the kind I'm not allergic to.
A lot of body tapes leave behind a residue that can cause irritation. Cleaning the area with some form of solvent can help reduce that in my experience. Cooking oil, sorbelene or essential oils (eucy, tea tree, lavender etc) work as a solvent for it.
Thanks, I might have some baby oil or just use cooking oil
