Zach's New Best Friend

Meet Mr. Boot. . .

He and Zach will be spending the next 8 weeks together, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Zach has sprained his left ankle severely several times since he was 14 years old, thus resulting in torn ligaments and a loose ankel. Last summer it began hurting after standing for a short period of time and started swelling. His Dr. tried to treat it with physical therapy and orthodics. All went well for about 6 months then the pain and swelling returned after another bad sprain. So, we decided on a better option. . reconstructive ankle ligament surgery Zach has gotten used to getting around on his crutches. Good thing he still got his sense of humor!
