Re: Kris and his re-casting:)

[Guest guest]

Carole,

What did I miss? Ugh! (Oh my he's a real cutie BTW - I did get a chance

to look at his pics. What a little monkey boy - love the scenery there

too) I need to go back and re-read your posts apparently. So he got

casted under general anesthesia? Or was that another tenotomy? And if so

(casting) why? I also wondered, weren't his first casts bent at the knee

and to the groin?

Feeling dumber and dumber today...
