So, no...I haven't gone and gotten married (yet), but YES...I am starting a blog.
For this first post I intend to lay out the purpose of my blog, which is to inform the reader of the daily occurrences in my life at orthotic school in Long Beach, California. I intend to uplift and inspire, while informing the reader of how awesome orthotics and prosthetics is as I experience it for myself firsthand. I have titled the blog "custom made," mainly because I did not have the time or motivation to think of a better name, but also because all of the braces I have been working on are custom made, similar to my life, which is very custom.
I don't have a lot of cool pictures yet, and I definitely don't know how to arrange them yet. But the first picture is what my hands typically look like after casting each other. I was lucky enough to be the girl that had two classmates casting each of my arms. We use indelible pencils to mark certain landmarks and that stuff does not come off my skin very easily.
The second picture is obviously me, holding a plaster leg I cast and modified, standing at my bench. Yeah, I have my own vice, hammers, screw drivers, blades, files, wrenches, etc. It makes me feel very official. Heck, I even have my own very large trash can.
More to come.
