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 themโ€ฆ the ankle braces donโ€™t have my size.

Melbcat has been refusing wet food and nibbling at dry food so Iโ€™ve 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.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

I survived another full day. Somehow.

My job provider finally got back to me and topped my Myki up, but still no reimbursement for $100 for the clothes I bought.
