I guess I would wear it for a while, then they would take it off and put a new one on at a better angle, etc. They got my foot straightened out - but that leg is still noticeably skinnier than the other one from wearing the cast for so long.
I did very well in some of my High School sports. My parents would tell me that they didn't even know if I would be able to walk properly.
My grandson was born with club feet. My son and DIL took him to a St Louis where he was treated by a Dr who specializes in club foot correction. After weeks of casting, and braces, he is 3 1/2 year, he walks normally! I was there with my DIL when grandson was casted. Amazing to see how his feet were straighter after every casting!
I’m so happy to hear yours was successful!
