CRACK ….. The bat hit the ball. I waited a split second and then ran, I ran as fast as I could trying to get to the spot where I thought the ball would be coming down. As I ran I kept my eye on the ball. It was high in the air and …

I’m Still Standing
Thus was originally supposed to have posted yesterday but due to technical problems it wasn’t able to post until today. So I went to see my surgeon on Wednesday. I went because I had noticed that there was a small amount of a mixture of what looked like blood and fluid coming out of the …

So Disappointing
Today was the day I was suppose to pick up my new leg. The day I would win my independance from my wheel chair and walker. The day I could finally be able to come and go from my super handicap unfriendly condo building without needing help from anyone. The day I thought I would …

98 % Good News, 2% News I Didn’t Want To Hear
So I went to my doctor yesterday to see how the healing of my wound was progressing. It was 98% great news and 2% news I didn’t want to hear. First, the nurse was amazed. They always measure the width, length and depth of the wound. She kept remeasuring and going back and forth to …

My Stumpity Stump Protector
So, I fell a couple weeks ago. Two weeks after the amputation. These things happen to people who are not used to the one legged life and sometimes even those who are. At any rate when I fell I landed on my stump. Not good. Falling on my stump caused a small amount of damage, …

Lifes been good to me so far
I went to see my surgeon yesterday. For multiple reasons I was a bit apprehensive about going. First my appointment was not until 2:15 and I got up at 8:00. Sharon made me a large mug of coffee (GOD bless her) and went back to bed. I had not slept well the night before so …
