Hie guys,

I have been gone for so long, but feels great to be back. Umm so much has been going on I have no idea where to start. Well ok, I suppose I could talk a little about my leg. The C-leg I got last year is working perfectly. I have been in the gym doing squats and lunges and have not had a single scratch, my kickboxing is working out fine and I have added spin every Tuesday. I bet y'll know that spin class is a killer, c-leg or not, but I still love it. I'll post some new pictures soon. I also bought a bike for the summer and am hiking. The sun is out in NJ now, Thank God finally.

I'm getting ready to go to CA for a rafting trip with my brother. This is the part where I leave my leg and go alone into the water, ooooo, I can;t wait. We are hoping to go camping too and I have to get a car charger for my c-leg. Grateful that I can actually do all these things. My doctor has been going nuts because I have been walking into his office every 2 week with my leg in hand and a need for repair, lol "Grace" takes so much abuse and still allows me to walk without any pain.

I bet there have been many more folks that joined since I last logged on. It would be nice to hear from you guys. I could go on about my 6 month hiatus, lol but a little bit at a time . Its good to be back and look forward to hearing from everyone. Summer is here, get out all those shorts and mini skirts and show off your lovely legs..

Hey guys,

 Great news!! I picked up my new limb yesterday and its sooo comfortable. I just have that weird feeling though as its still new and i'm not used to it yet. I was frustrated this morning as i tried to run down the stairs, only to realise that i can't yet. I'm in my office now and still feeling the discomfort that comes with the new leg. Yet anther C-leg, which i'm grateful for. I can't wait to get into my kickboxing class and show off my new moves. :).

Its days like these when i have to slow down and pace myself, that i get frustrated. But on the other hand, i'm happy that i can continue to live life and when i am able to run around as i usually do. Anyway, thats it for now. Just wanted to share the good news. :)

Hie all,

 I would love to write the story of my live, but i reslised that would take forever , so here is the short version.

 I have used a Prosthetic limb from day one. I have been through many ups and downs with my many limbs over the years, but i am here and i am happy.

Yes elementary school wasnt easy, but with time eveyone new the loud mouth with the limb and grew to love me. I have been so fortunate to make so many friends in the short time i have been alive. High school was awesome and the dating scene wasn;t bad either. In other words, my friends, family and people in general neevr gave me the chance to stop and say, hey i only have one leg, instead they said... we love you as you are, lets enjoy and live life together. When i graduated from Undergraduate, i wore a huge smile on my face, i finally made it. And yes over the years echoes from people who thought having to use a prosthetic leg woud limit me from being and doing what God intended, where heard, but never deterred me from my goals.

I have learned to loved and i have accepted love in my life and that has made me a better person.  At the moment, i live and work in NJ with my boyfriend Paul(see us in the gallery). I would never have done any of this without my family and my faith in God.

Oh actually i'm going to pick up my new prosethetic limb from the doctor's. I'm always excited to get a new addition. I always name my limbs, the one i have now(in the pics) is called Grace and the new one, not sure yet. I'll know tomorrow after i put her on and see what her vibe feels like.

Anyway, long story short, i love life, i love God and am happy that i got to joint this wonderful site. If anyone has any questions, let me know. I might be able to help, somehow..

 Blessings to you all.
