My New Leg

So far, so good. I’ve been wearing the new leg since picking it up this afternoon and just sent Wayne the following email:

Wayne,

Holy crap, you really outdid yourself on my leg. It’s the most beautiful prosthesis I’ve ever seen. And the fit appears to be perfect: I’ve been walking on it since I picked it up this afternoon and it feels great. Thank you so much!

Thanks again,
Steve Kurzman

Now, of course, I have to break the thing in and see if any problems arise with the fit or if I need any adjustments. I remember that breaking these things in when they’re new can take a few weeks, so I may be writing about this process for a little while.

I picked up a batch of new stump socks with the leg, which is nice. My old socks are all stretched out and a little smelly at this point, so that’s a pleasant bonus. Wayne still needs to order a new silicone liner to go with the leg. I said I would pick it up next week.
