Thanks Bryan, but it's not the socket that's the problem. It's the sleeve. It goes all the way up my thigh and because of my thigh being so big, the sleeve rolls down and won't stay up on my...

Well, we tried everything to make my prosthetic work, but nothing does. I'm just too big. The sleeve continues to roll down my ample thigh and makes the leg precarious at best. I've accepted...

I don't know why I feel the way I feel, I just do. I was doing so well. As I've said before I am bipolar with more emphasis on the depressive side.So, I've been depressed. I loathe myself for...

All is going well. My physical therapist has been working with me and he says I'm doing just great. I give all the glory to God. You see, I'm a very large lady and I was afraid it would be too...

Wow! I took my first steps yesterday with my leg. It was so weird and scary. You all know that I've been in my chair since May. I only had it on for about 10 minutes and I couldn't believe...

Anyhoo...I feel like my blister and I are going to be together forever! Accccckkk! My nursing services have been cut back so now I can go up to 4 days with the same yucky bandage on. I would do...

Well, I went to my PCP yesterday and he did a culture on my 'blister'. i now have a staph infection in it -- yay me! Nope, I'm not going to feel sorry for myself, even though my whole apartment...

Well, crap! Went to see my PCP. He didn't like the looks of the blister, did a culture and decided the nurse needs to come back every other day to change the dressing. The blister keeps...

I am soooo bummed out! This blister is now the size of a robin's egg and is showing no sign of popping. I'm so tempted to do it myself. Should I? I would say there is about an ounce of fluid...

Well, I was very excited and happy for a good part of the day. I got my leg and wore it for about 4 hours. When I took it off and removed the gel sleeve there was a lovely blister the size of a...

Well, I got the call that I am to come in to the prosthetists on Wednesday for a fitting and possible delivery! More to come...

I tried on the (what would you call it) . . . prototype? Anyway, I tried it on and of course it felt extremely foreign, but I took two trips through the parallel bars. My back screamed, my good...

Went to the prosthetic clinic today. Took me down from a #4 shrinker to a #2. They said that next Monday they're going to measure and cast. I'm really excited and can't wait to try that first...

Just been taking it easy all weekend. Church was nice. Tomorrow I go to the new prosthetic people 'Corpus Christi Prosthetics'. They had put me on a smaller shrinker from a 6 to a 4 and now the 4...
