Hey yall I haven't been on here in a while.

In July I had surgery , I had been dealing with a lot of pain and swelling in my stump. I would go days at a time without wearing my leg because the pain was so sevre. Well as it turns out I had an abscess. it started out as an ingrown hair. As soon as the doctor cut into it the pain was gone.I don't know how much he drained from it,  but my leg now fits loose I am wearing two socks to keep it tight.

And Then there was sept.  I went to a small bike rally at a local  lake.for three day we camped out. The frist night (friday) a group of us went Skinny dipping at midnight it was a blast. And for me it was a hurdle. It was the first time i have been swimming sence I lost the leg. At one point i touched a girl on the leg with my stump, when she ask what that was I told her That I was happy to see her.

Anyway I'm back and will try to check this a little more often.

Later Joey

Okay so I have decided to start getting some exersize want to start by

 walking at frist and then jogging.I went to day and got a suspention sleave.

Now this is what i need help with,My leg is bowed quite a bit as a result of

the injury.My porstetic is curved to acommedate for the bow.

 My leg man is worried that I could break the leg by jogging on it.

What I need to know is , Do any of you jog, and have any of you suffered this

kind of set back.Is jogging gonna cause more pain than it is worth.

Should I forget about jogging and just sit back and wait on the heart attack.

Someone please give me your thoughts on this.

Not much really to say about me.I have been an amputee for over 12 years now. I lost my leg to complications due to a self inflicked gunshot wound when I was 16.After 15 operations I made the choice 16 would be the last. Little did i know  I would need more. I am An active member of ABATE of Ga.(AMERICAN BIKER ACTIVE TOWARD EDUCATION )Dist.7.

I am here looking for others amputees someone that can give insight , who has dealt with the same things I have,someone I can talk to when I am having trouble or feeling self pity.Someone else who has been scared to be in pubic when they are in so much pain that they can hardly walk without screaming in pain.

Anyway that is all I'm gonna say for now.If you would like to know anything about me just ask.

my name is Joey if you happen by this page, stop and say hi
