Its been zonks since I have written, so thought I had better update.....
I finally got my 'running leg' 2 weeks ago. Its totally fab! Now of course I have to learn how to run, which is soooo much harder than I thought it would be. If I am inbetween the parallel bars, I get the movement happening no worries, but as soon as I am on the grass or concrete, my 'good' leg holds back. I am obviously scared of falling, even though I know perfectly well that I will fall a million times in order to get it right. Hmmmmm...any suggestions to 'free my mind?'
Other than that, I have finally joined a gym after being unhappy with the weight I have put on since my accident. I feel excellent. Although, after 20 minutes walking pretty quickly on the treadmill, I have to take off my liner and wipe it down as it is so wet my leg starts to turn around!! Then I go back on for another 20 minutes, do my weights etc. Is there anyway that anyone knows of to control the sweating inside of the liner? I just figured that the more my body gets used to all the exercise, the better it will get.
I wish I had started the gym 2 years ago because I feel terrific. We are going to Europe to see my husbands family and to travel a bit in 6 weeks, so at least I'll be able to walk a lot further before getting tired!
I hope everyone else is doing great and are happy!! Take care xxxx

Thank you Nicole,
DaveIt was painful, but the Lord got me through it all and by His grace I am still going strong. I never expected to see my fiftieth birthday, and yet I celebrate it today. I am grateful for all that has happened to me because it caused me to find ways to help other amputees. I started White Mountain Naturals with the help of a friend last March and we make skin care products for amputees and diabetics. Our product line is very small right now but will be expanding with many more all natural items to help those of us who are challenged by health.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season. What part of Australia are you in? I have some friends in Kingaroy that are missionaries there.
I will write again soon...
