It has been one year since my bka and finally everything is great. I have my permanent prosthetic and all seems fine.

For a week I had to go back to my temporary leg and that was horrible. Could hardly walk and had to wear 30 sox. I spent the week doing absolutely nothing but I am on the go again and back at the gym (which I really need). After my amputation I gained a lot of weight, now I must work on that. Always something that needs our attention.

I love my flex ankle. For 10 years I had my ankle completely fused so this all seems quite new to me.

When I look back now it hardly seems like it has been a year....One year ago I thought this day would never come but here it is and I am quite happy about all of it. No pain, is the best. I have come to a point, the odd time, that I actually feel like I have a "normal leg" Now as long as I don't forget about it in the middle of the night when I have to get up. In the beginning I did forget and of course had a fall. It has never happened again. So here's hoping it won't happen again.

I still have to go to my prosthetic guy, once a month, but that's is the least of all I, or any of you, have to go through.

Still loving this site.

I have had absolutely no problems, as a matter of fact, it has been quite awesome lately, until now. For some reason the bottom of my stump is very painful. I am not sure if it is the prosthesis or my leg. Very  painful when I put on my leg but when it is not on the bottom of my stump is very sensitive. I have never had this problem before. I will be getting my next let within the next 2 months but in the mean time I have this awful problem. It is so severe that it is stopping me from doing things that I enjoy.

I have heard that the first temporart leg is not to be abused and I am wondering if I have done too much such as golfing and exercising. I am not sure wheather this is true or false.

I am hoping my problem is not unique. If anyone else has had this problem I would appreciate hearing from you. Going to my prosthetic guy is surely not out of the question but he is 200 miles away.

Oh by the way, I also have an open sore which is under control and is not the pain I am feeling. The pain is not even near the sore.

Hoping this blog finds everyone healthy!!!!
