Off the back of the ‘inspiring’ physio session on Wednesday, yesterday gave me the opportunity to go out with my prosthetic leg on. Don’t get too excited by this news, it was only to a local Supermarket. I was a little sore/aching from yesterday but thankfully it only took a couple of attempts to get […]
