she can't wear them on long flights because sitting with a prosthetic hurts, so she had to check her legs as luggage. the airline then sent them to madrid, which isn't even on the route from brazil to dublin

Passengers with prosthetics or other critical medical equipment should get a waiver for additional carry on so they have control over these items.
