My Body Armour

Hi Jerry & Co,

The body armour is made simply from bra cups! I put one inside the other for extra padding and sewed thick elastic around the triangular cup. 2 straps velcro around the chest and two around the neck. Louis has his scapula and the top part of the humerus left and this forms a rather sharp point so needs protecting. He is a bit touchy about people knowing he wears a bra so that’s why we refer to it as body armour!!

The head goes through the top loop then the velcro strap goes under the chest to keep the padding over the stump.

Regards,
Kath & Louis

Hi Fellow Tri-Athletes,

It’s been 6 months now since my operation and I’m hopping along fine. Had my 11th Birthday in July and mom made me my “bump stop” (I call it my body armour!) to stop my hurting my stump when I slip down on it.

Can’t go the distances I used to do but can still find the pheasants!

Luv & Licks,

Louis
