I got rid of Becky's physical therapist because she basically charged an arm and a leg

Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpost of physical therapy?

Why did Becky have a physical therapist, BTW? I musta forgotten something, which is not at all surprising!

Becky was born bilaterally club footed. Her feet pointed towards each other and were twisted so bad that if she had stood, she'd be standing on her ankles.

Apparently, she was cramped up in my belly and didn't have the space to stretch out, so her Achilles tendons stayed shortened, thus causing the problem. I was so upset when I first saw it because I thought she had been born crippled. But then she spent 3 months in casts up to her thighs. Poor baby!

Finally, when she was 9 months old, she had surgery to correct it and had to be in casts for another month.

She's perfectly normal now, but whenever she gets tired, her feet turn in and I have to remind her to hold them out straight in front of her.
