How long....

Just wondering how long others have to wait when calling their prosthetists office if needing an adjustment? 2) If having a problem?

Thanks, I am pretty close to changing, but I'm sure you know how hard it is when you have had a great relationship.

I will get in the same day (he will stay late to see clients), or within a few days.
Sometimes it can take awhile to find someone who understands what you want and is willing to REALLY help.

well, since I haven't been back to my prosthetist in 9 yrs, i'm probably not qualified to post on here... lol.... but since he is 9 hrs away, i usually would UPS my leg out to him, he would fix what needed fixing and UPS it back to me.

I had to wait 1 week because of Thanksgiving but usually it's about 2-3 days.

The company I use here in New Hampshire will usually get me in the same day if they can, if not the next. Most will accomodate you because they understand the issues.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
