Hi everyone!  Well, things have been much better for me since I finally got out of the hospital!  My infection is gone and my incision is healed completely.  Here's the deal...I went for my "try-on" today for my first prosthesis, and it felt much weirder than I had expected.  It was kind of painful when I put my weight on it.  Is this normal?  I didn't really expect it to "hurt"...it wasn't awful pain, but pretty uncomfortable.  I guess it just takes some getting used to, huh?  Anyone who has time to write me back on this subject and tell me your experience with your first prosthesis, I would really appreciate it.  I get the finished leg/foot this Wednesday (in just two days).  I'm really excited, but a bit scared now too.  I will look forward to hearing from you.  Thanks a bunch.
