June, * * Onsite doctor completes paperwork to order boot. June *, * c/o Kimble informs me that medical needs my shoe size. July *, * telemed with Dr. McGrail, ordered a new MRI. I advised him I still have no strength in my foot. July *, * lady approaches me in front of, food coordinator Boak, mentioned they need my shoe size to order boot. The important part of the nonoperative method is the boot. My Achilles was allowed to heal incorrectly. This will make the surgery harder with a more difficult and recovery.
