Wow, good to hear that things are progressing to the point of prosthetic. You'll be walking in no time. And back fishing shortly after that I hope.

Be sure to make them adjust that leg until it fits you correctly and you can use it. We are undergoing changes to Victor's leg as it still heals from the trauma.

I am so proud of you.

My sister's husband became a couch potato when he had his amputation. He had a prosthesis, but he hardly ever tried to walk anymore than from his room (they built a bedroom downstairs because of his situation) (with a walker) to the tv room and there he had breakfast, then lunch, then dinner! My sister took him on a cruise and had to wheel him around.
