Kinzy902 -- Who wears their leg when taking a shower?????? :D

It's called the "balancing act".....LOL!!!!

Great info, tho for those who do...Thx!

BeckyLW -- I hate showering....I prefer to soak, and will come out when I am good and GDaMNeD ready ;-)

Ronny -- Thanks for the info. Im going to try it. Ill post a review of it after I use it in case anyone is interested. Im curious if it will work good. I think it would make me feel more normal.

VandyW5-- In all honesty, I do the balancing act, and when I was preggos with my kiddos I used a shower chair. wearing a leg in the shower, how would you clean your stump until you take it off anyway. I wouldn't use it.
