I was excited about this morning, not about getting up at 06:00 but going for my casting. Nothing I haven’t done before but this was for my first long term socket, which will hopefully make life easier and resolve some, if not all, my issues.

It’s all been rather quiet and I’ve mainly been recovering from the physio session from hell the other week.
