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.
