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! (as you can tell from this picture)

Zachary - it is very important that you get better soon. The summer will be here in no time, and we need you at 100%. We don't know what to do without our #1 sports friends.
