Yesterday was the first physio session for ages where I have managed to get my prosthetic leg on. I was pretty excited as it felt good to get back and start work on walking with the prosthesis again. As I am using the compression sock while wearing the leg my physio sent me a second […]

Having been unable to get my prosthesis on since I’ve had the second socket it was back to Lynne (my prosthetist) to see if she could remedy the situation. After explaining the problem two solutions […]

Yesterday I thought I would put my prosthetic leg on just before lunch, sit for lunch and then do the dishes after. I thought that would be a nice little trial for the first day and then go from there, that was the plan anyway. Like all best laid plans of mice and men it […]
