    Getting active again?

    Thursday, March 6, 2008, 03:18 PM EST [General]

    At the end of this month, it will be one year since the bottom third of my left leg went AWOL.  I've had my "permanent" prothesis from Hanger for about 4 months now.  I went back to work full-time 6 weeks after I was released from the hospital, and I have never had any kind of physical therapy since I got my leg.  I walked with a cane until a couple of weeks ago, and I still have a "limp", try as hard as I can to walk "normally".

    I want to start getting back into some type of exercise regimen.  I eventually want to get back into cycling and sailing.  Does anyone have any experience with getting back into a more active life-style following an amputation?  Any organizations out there that help amputees get back into physical activities?
