Hi Scott,
I got an email from Glenn as well from here and he was willing to
offer any answers to questions that I have. So far, I think I'm semi
lucky with my prosthesis. It fits tight if I pull on the strap after
standing up. Still, it's not something I enjoy wearing a lot. I'll
look into crutches as I have a set of those. I was pretty much banged
up after she hit me on my bike with her Honda Accord. I'm surprised I
survived actually. She did me no favors, but I'm doing well after being
at home and doing PT twice a week. I'm walking with the aid of some
walking sticks (over long canes basically looks like a shower curtain
rod with rubber caps on both ends about 4 1/2 foot long). She crunched
up a lot of bones and I had one stomach wound that is almost healed, but
not quite due to an infection I caught from somewhere. Anyway, enough
about how I feel.
I read that there is some post surgery things I must do with my stump to
keep it healthy and clean, other than washing with mild soap? Do you
know of any URL with information about that? I know it says to look at
your incision site to make sure that doesn't get infected as well, but
so far, my stump seems to be in great shape.
Well, I won't go on. Nice to meet you, Steve. I'm doing okay, just had
a few questions. Talk to you again sometime.
