>On that note I would like to ask if some sort of prosthetic (sp) devise >could be fashon to restor more of Foggy's mobility... I keep thinking similar things. Hmmm...what about a kind of shirt or something that is set up to be very slippery on the bottom, say, overlapping teflon "scales" that'll allow him to slide on the carpet/bedding easier yet just use the (forthcoming?) callussed ends as traction. In checking the way my guy's legs/feet are constructed, it occurs that much will depend on just where them damn rubber bands were. If they were *right* behind where the pad area starts, he may be surprisingly normal...for example, at the rear, only half of the "foot" structure ever normally hits ground during walking or boinging; it's not like the human foot, where the heel touches down. Which means Foggy may have the back half of his hind feet still there, with his achilles tendon and at least somewhat normal function intact. That's if the rubber bands were around what we'd call the "arch" of our feet...of they were around what'd correspond to the *ankle*, yikes...setting him up as a "belly-slider" starts to look good. This brings up another point: man, if Dayna ever gets raided and Foggy ends up in custody, the absolute firestorm of protest that would erupt over it would be completely unprecedented. Just the fact that a saint like Dayna has to be a fugitive is the single most obvious sign that the ban is total and absolute insanity. [Posted in FML issue 1589]
