Well, it's day five. We spent some time this morning from nine to noon watching MiKayla get wired up and tested for the effect of "fit flops" on her muscles. Sfter she walked back and forth across some pressure-sensitive plates we were able to see and outline of her skeleton on a computer screen. No x-ray!!! The markers that were stuck onto the skin above her joints were magnetic and were picked up by (8?) special cameras; then the computer program did the rest, and even measured the relative force in her joints from her walking movements woith and without the special shoes. Very cool.
We have packed up our bags and separated what we're leaving here while we go to London and Dublin. I'm so excited!!! We leave by bus tomorrow morning at 8:30....that is, after we go to Downtown Manchester tonight to shop and get completely smashed together in a hug mob made up of all of us and some students from the college here.
See you all in just a few more days. I miss all of you and I miss home too😞
