    • Flower

      From nannyjoy June 13, 2008

      Sending some flowers for you to say i am a new amputee as well but do not qualify for a leg, when I expressed my disappointment to the doctor he said that having a prothesis brings along a whole new set of problems. I dont know as I am stuck in this chair, but I think I would like the chance to walk. Hope you are having a pain free day today-joy
