Trying to Keep Positive
Darn, gotta' go back to Corpus Christi Prosthetics already. The socks they gave me to put on under the outer stocking roll down in a matter of hours. They won't stay up underneath the outer stocking. When I say outer stocking, I assume it is a shrinker although it is similar to a support hose. I'm certain that the 'socks' they gave me are for wearing with the prosthetic leg, but I guess they use them to shrink as well. It's all very confusing to me.I'm just tired of this shrinking process which seems to not work on me. I'm beginning to be afraid that I will be stuck in this wheelchair permanently. It's a terrifying thought that I'm not sure I could live with. It's been about 14 weeks since my surgery, shouldn't I be in a prosthesis by now? I'm very frustrated and impatient at this point.
