thanks ohm, who needs two legs anyway?...ive heard of people with no legs doing better than people with two real legs.

Glad to hear you are doing great. It's quite a life changer to have something like this done, but with the technology in today's era, you'll never know its missing once you get used to the "new leg".

Props for a positive attitude and best wishes as you recover. You've done the hard stuff.. Now it's cake walk. Good luck bud.

Me after getting my temporary prosthetic and taking my first steps in a long time.

[zbrown]

my god that has to feel weird..... does it seem like the old one is ever still there??

I am glad this has been going aswell as it can be

[MisterCMK]

It probably does. My grandpa lost his toes a couple of weeks ago due to a bad artery causing a lack of blood flow and then dead toes. He said that he could still "feel" them there.

[JN210]

yea, I still feel it sometimes. Its because when a limb or toe, finger...etc, is amputated the nerves have memory and they are still sending signals to the brain from the limb they remember being there, so it takes awhile for them to adjust and heal adn eventually forget that its there. That leg cost us 7K and the socks for my "nub" were 500. Walking with it was really weird for the first few steps / feet, but after about halfway down the hallway I managed to get it to start working good. Its funny though when I forget that my leg isnt there anymore and I go to scratch my leg, its not there and im left dumbfounded going "oh yea lol" but I can crutch around just as if not faster than before if I dont have the prosthetic on. Im going home today so you may or may not see me cruisin around.

[STiSchucky]

how long you on crutches for?

[JN210]

Ive been on them for the past 5 months, and probably will be on them for another...2-3 months until I can safely walk again and feel comfortable with it.

Wow, just read through all 28 pages because i havent been on fargo street forever. Congrats man! You are deffinately a tough fuckin person to go through that with such a positive attitude. I admire that big time.

I'm sure ill see you out drivin now that i live in fargo.

Congrats again man.

[JN210]

I finally got my slideshow copy of my leg in cd format and here are some pics of what kind of nasty shit was growing inside my leg and im happy it was amputated because in one of the pics you can see how it was growing inside of my bone even so it was gone already. These are actual pics of my ACTUAL leg.

then here is the pic without most of the meat cut off and cleaned up

[STiSchucky]

[JN210]

[D S ohM]

So...did they let you keep the leg? lol

Glad I finished my food before opening this thread. Probably would have thrown up all over my laptop.

However, props to you for the positive attitude and the big heart. Positivity goes a long, long ways. The hard part is over. Now enjoy life without this stressful shit in your way.

Good luck fella!
