CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY OF LITTLE MOOK
What a traveler Little Mook is… Although he only has 2 legs, he still managed to travel as far as Rousse and come back to us. There, he had a very important appointment with prosthetic specialist Atanas Atanasov of ORTHOVET MEDICAL.
Atanas made special moldings of Mook’s healed legs. With them, he will be able to make him temporary prosthetics to fit him perfectly, as Mook may still have some growing up ahead.
Mooks first prosthetics will be ready in two weeks. And then – it is hard work for Mook to get used to them. He will have to put them on every day, for a short time at first and then for longer periods. Mook will have to learn to let his weight down on the amputated legs and use the “new legs” as if he was walking. It is not an easy task, but Mook is quite and enthusiast. Unfortunately, his back leg was cut off quite high and he may have a harder time controlling his hind prosthetic, but that is still in the future – there is still great hope!
Mook’s temporary prosthetics are a gift for him from the kind people at Orthovet Medical. We thank our friends in Rousse for understanding how difficult it is to manage so many suffering souls with so little resources. We hope their good deeds come back to them multiplied!
Regards to d-r Kodjabashev who let us use his clinic for a few hours while Mook’s casts were molded.
