new leg

    Tuesday, July 13, 2010, 12:09 AM EST [General]

    Wore the new leg home today, the test socket, foot, whole thing.  Problem is, for nearly the last year, I've been wearing a peg, for ease of operating machinery.  Boy, is this foot assembly in the way.  Keep tripping over it, getting it stuck under the cabinet, got it stuck between the clutch pedal and the parking brake.  Guess I'll get used to it.  Then, as soon as I get used to it, it'll be time to switch back to the peg, as I'll be back at work operating machinery again.  Socket sure feels good, though, nice and tight, no hurt.  Could get used to that.  If no issues, next week will be the graphite socket.  That'll be good

    Really enjoyed  "what I do with my left shoes".  Gave me some ideas. 

    good parody, which is a difficult art to pull off

    hey Ben! Cool to here from you. Things are going better, question; New sockets, do they like take "breaking in"? How long does it take you to get accustomed to a new socket? Take care Ben, chris

    I went to see my orth surgen and do you know what he told me. He tells me that my leg is still broken. I told him DUH I know its broken. So then he tells me about this stuff that he has used on a couple of other people. Bacially what he does is cutsa me open and grinds awaw the edges of the broken bone, then he injects this bone sub into my fracture and hopefully after a couple of months im just like new.

    Now the hard part I have been FIGHTING TO KEEP MY RIGHT LEG FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. To be honest I have kinda growen attached to it ( HAHA I MADE A FUNNY). Ok back to the doctor. He tlod me that because of the constiant pain that I still have an option to have my second leg amputated. I ask him if he was out of his mind. I was then informed by him that a leg is just designed to hold you up and help you walk from one place to another so what would be the difference if it was my real leg or a fake one. So their is a surgen for you I think that they are really good at severing their emotions.
