Has anyone with a below knee amputation ever had problems with their calf cramping up when you are walking around?  I've been getting this a lot and we can't seem to solve the problem.  Right now I have a suction cup socket, but I have had the same problem with a pin lock years ago.  Any thoughts?

I moved on Satruday from my apartment in Newton MA to a place in Watertown MA.  Two of my friends from the area were also moving close by, so I helped them move a lot of their stuff and they let me use their truck to move my matress.  Basically, I started at 9 in the morning and finished around 7 at night.  I spent all day with my big blue water bottle, just filling it up at every stop and drinking tap water heavily all day. It turns out a water pipe broke in Weston or something, and everyone east of that area has to boil water first in order to drink it.  I sure wish I knew that earlier..

At about 7:30 I went to Target in Watertown to pick up a small table.  The whole place was in chaos.  At the checkout counter the cashier was surpised I wasn't buying water.  He says, 'don't you know about the water? you can't drink it.'  At this point I had no idea why, so I was like, 'of course you can drink it silly, i've been drinking it all day!' 

At about 11:30 that night my stomach started to make some weird noises, and I started to feel pretty sick.  I think most of it is out of me now, but all yesterday and last night was miserable.  The waters not that bad, I'm sure a little bit won't effect you at all.  But I pretty much drank 5 or 6 bottles full and ate nothing during the day. 

What amazes me is how people were acting at target.  Keep in mind, this water problem won't last more than a few days.  Also, all you need to do is boil the water and it will be fine.  There is no shortage of water.  That point is so important I think I'll repeat it in all caps.  On its own line.  With a few exclamation marks for added effect.

THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF WATER!!!

Yet everyone went out and bought as much water as possible.  Target looked  like what I imagine the beginning of a zombie appocolypse would be like.  People were fighting over the water in the small refridgerators at the end of the cashier isles because the store ran out of water cases.  I mean literally fighting, like punching and shoving and whatnot.  When you hear stories of people behaving like this, you usually get a mental image of what these people might look like.  And these images usually look like the people you find on www.peopleofwalmart.com/.  Whats dissapointing is that the people fighting last night looked nothing like the humerous 'people of walmart'.  They were just normal people. I can't even imagine the horrible things people would do to each other if this were a real emergency.

I guess I just don't have a lot of faith in people..
