Finger Splints!!!

I did not sleep well last night and didn't even fall asleep until 4:30. I was planning to go to school, but I didn't get up until 12! As I was getting ready, my mom came in my room and asked, "Do you want to go get your splints today?" I was so suprised and excited! I have been praying that we would get them by Friday, but I wasn't expecting to! God just blessed me, once again!

They actually help a lot! It amazes me how they stop my joints from hyperextending! I am switching them around to different fingers to do different tasks. It will take a while to get used to, but I love them!

In this picture, I put them on so you could see what they look like separately and combined together!





This is what they look like from the back!


Thank you for praying for my splints!

Love,

Mackenzie

Hi Mackenzie!
I love my splints too. They are amazingly helpful. I have one for my thumb too and maybe someday I'll actually post pictures of it. I'm a lazy bum. ;) No, just can't remember to both take a picture AND post it. HA HA Love EDS.
Thanks for following my blog and leading me to yours! I'll catch up on your posts and enjoy learning more about you and what we have in common.
It's definitely hard to let go of dancing when you've loved it so much and so long. I'm finally accepting the reality but it was a long grieving process - probably the hardest one I've confronted with EDS so far. Lots of other crappy and difficult stuff happens but that one really got me.
Hope you have a LOVELY day!
