Hello! The Jonas Brothers are pretty awesome...I watch their show on Disney sometimes!

Ouch that injury must have HURT. I wear both knee braces and AFOs daily w/other braces. I have a walker and crutches and cant' really use a wheelchair anymore. I have Asperger's Syndrome so I'm on the autism spectrum too.

Please let me know if we can help with anything...hope to hear from you soon!

Don't get me started on the Jonas Brothers...hahahaha.
