Default Alan just called me a genius!!!!

lol

We just got Alan all ready with his uniform for tonight's shift. We took the felt thing (we did two layers cause it's thin). I measured Alan's calf from the ankle to below the knee (like where the boot reaches on the top.

Then I cut the piece of felt to fit around Alan's calf. Alan said "how are we going to hold this in place??" I just put a strip of velcro on both sides. One fit over the other and the piece of felt wrapped around his calf. Very comfortably. Then he put on the boot (that is a whole other ballgame, with all the velcro straps that keep getting stuck to each other).

But we did it. He said "oh my god, this is so comfortable, I never should have bought those compression socks".

So we solved a problem for a couple of bucks worth of felt. No rubbing and he's walking better.

Hallelulah!!!
