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...

It's my B-day and I remember when I had my surgery on May 6th, I asked my doctor if I would be walking by my birthday and he said barring any complications, sure. I was so hopeful. Craaaap!I...

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...

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...

It just tastes extra good this morning. You fellow coffee lovers know what I mean.So, I'm going back to the prosthetist this morning to see if we can stop these socks from falling down below my...

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...

Wow! I slept pretty darned good thanks to a little birdie named Edalji. I woke up at my usual time (about 2 am), went to the restroom and absentmindedly went to start up the coffee pot. But, I...

Well, now I have another dilemma... the new place I'm going to gave me a nice outside sock. It's sorta' like a thigh high stocking with an elastic grip to keep it from sliding down. They also...
