Thanks for the encouragement! Still can't walk on my own without crutches but it's been a few weeks! Tomorrow I'm going to try a theme park! My Dad won tickets and my mom, daughter, and 2 granddaughters are going! I tried to rent a electric chair but all reserved so rented wheel chair! The one I have won't make it all day on all those hills! We are going to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA I haven't been in years. I haven't enjoyed my grandkids there yet! So if I can watch them have fun and take pictures it will make me happy! Yes, it will be different for me as an amputee but know there are so many people out there with less then four limbs and they seem happy! I saw a man walking in Walmart parking lot this week and he had a prosthetic. I get alot of questions from kids but glad to talk to them! Yes, I know one day I will walk fine! Have a good weekend!

Thanks Donna, things are moving slowly but surely.

Yes hitting my stump with a rolled up magazine has helped toughen it and have been doing exercises in a swimercice class to stenghten my knees and hips. I am getting stronger and keeping prosthetic on longer! It's not as painful as it was in the beginning. Still have to use the walker. I went up steps with the help of railing and cane with leg on! I was so proud of myself!! I know one day I won't need walker and cane! Thanks for your advice!

Hey Donna, thanks for the nice welcome. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting the other nurses yet but I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for the words of encouragement, seems I need them on a daily basis right now. Just learning to walk on my prosthetics and I can see where I'm gonna need heaps of patience with this but I will perservere! Thanks again and take care!
