Hello all sorry I have not been around in a while. My tattoo studio has been crazy busy. Tis the season lol. I am doing an average of three to five tats a day. CRAZY!!!!!!!!! But you know what they say all work and no play right. Well It has been two years since I lost my leg. That is just fine by me though. I gained a friend. lol my stump and I are very close.  I am not sure how eveyone else handles there time line marks but this is what I am doing. If there is anyone In NJ who knows where this is you are more than welcom to attend... I am also gonna post the little blog that I sent out to everyone just letting them know how its going. I hope everyone is doing wonderful and I will post again soon.

BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!

 Hello all.
 Well it is that time again. Today is my two year mark for losing my leg. We all know that the situation in which I lost my leg was very shady. No worries... well at least not for me. I now have a prosthetic leg, and get around very well with a cane. He he. I bet ya'll wish you had a reason to use a styled out cane. But seriously. I want to take a moment to address some serious issues.
  Amputee people are not all like me....
They all don't throw parties to celebrate they day they lost their limb. It is a real curse for alot of people in the world. Sure it is easy to say , well at  least your alive... when it is not you. But hey .. walk a mile in our shoe..... so to speak. I am not saying feel sorry for anyone. Just remember your life could change at any moment. Treat people as you would want to be treated. Which means...... LOL stay out of our bathrooms and parking spots.. lol
  I must admit that the past two years have not been easy. I have been sad, frustrated, angry, and in pain. Not all the time of coarse, but it does happen. I think the worst is trying to stay strong for the ones around you when all you really want to do is fall apart. I have found that loved ones suffer just as much as we do. After all they have to live with the fact that there is really nothing they can do to help. To them I say this, love me as you always have, and I will adjust to the rest of the changes.
 So here I am two years into this new adventure. I will be the first one to admit that I think I have a better life than I ever had. This situation has given me back my family. I have a great career, an amazing woman that loves me whole heartedly, friends that rally to see me overcome anything, and best of all I feel like I have come full circle in my life. Where I go from here I expect to be nothing short of amazing.
 So that is my rant for this year. I hope that it gives everyone a laugh, and a look at a few things from another angle. 
To my friends, and family.
Thank you for being there with me every step of the way, I hope this wonderful adventure continues to thrill us all. You must admit it has been a great ride so far.

Forever Forward..
Shannon Murphy.

Hello all,

 Well I think that I have figured out most of the problems that I have been having. I am so happy. After a week of therapy I have been moved to just using a cane. and free walking for small amounts.. I am so happy.. I hope everyone has a great weekend I know I will..............

when you guys sit down in your socket does it jam you in the hip?  or could that be that it is still cut too tall... so many adjustments.... its crazy lol.. ok i really appreciate any info ya'll may have on this Thanks...

Hey guys...

 Got a question for everyone. Does anyone else spin in their socket?  I would think this means it is too big. once i start sweating it happens. the next thing I know it has almost turned halfway around. So what does evryone think on this.. I want some info before I go bombard my Tech again . I hope everyone has a great day.. Enjoy the sunshine...

Well I started rehab today.... WOHOOOOOOOOO So far its the bomb.. I so can't wait to walk unassisted....
