    Right now things are back to square one. Dealing with the last surgery to clean up bone growth and manage skin grafts. They have done a great job with the skin grafts. I told my plastics guy that he almost has me convinced the foot was never there. haha. Anyway, looking forward to prosthesis #2. The first socket is now way to large and even after this surgery. Looking for any ideas on ankles. I do like the bioquest but open to others.

    Not looking forward to more bone growth. Radiation is the next option. Any thoughts on this?

    Hello all

     First blog .....ever. I do not gernerally write about my situation unless it is legal or required by my therapist. Seriously this is a great site. In the begining of my "experiance"I was convinced i needed no help and I would get through this (as i have everything  else) on my own. Wrong... It was a relief to let that notion go and let others help. Finding this site helped make me feel normal.After talking with other amputees and professionals feeling normal is a goal that is reachable.
