I wanted to cry when I got hope my leg but I held tears back for as long as I could.I felt scared of so many things. Afraid of how Id be looked at or whispered about. I dont have a cover yet. This is my first. Its awkward adjusting but its start to come together somewhat. And Im not worried about covering it up Im not going to let it bother me cause everyone accepts me the way I am. And I want to be on my feet again.I just got it about 1 month ago, so far all is going great.
