SOMEBODY Got A Visit From The Prosthetist Today...

[jayjay]

The prosthetist (and you have no idea how tempted I am every time I type that word to go all Porky Pig) was in today with my fitting socket, which is an initial socket made from the cast of my stump and thigh he took last week. It's made from transparent plastic/resin/composite/whatever they make them from nowadays so they can see the contact between the residual limb and the socket. So I got to walk around on TWO LEGS today for a (very) short time.

On the way out, he said that I should have the final temporary prosthesis (the one I'll use for prosth training and until the final leg is made) by Thursday next week at the latest.

But most importantly...I GOT TO WALK AROUND ON TWO LEGS TODAY!
