		<description><![CDATA[I went to the prosthetics shop for my appointment last Wednesday and found this accidental history lesson leaning against the wall.  The prosthesis on the right is a below-knee peg leg from the 19th century or earlier.  The user would have bent his knee and rested it on the platform.  The lower [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an earlier post, I discussed the problem of my leg clicking.  Although I&#8217;ve more or less solved the problem of my socket being a bit tight, I haven&#8217;t made any headway with the clicking &#8212; which is now beginning to drive me a little batty.
We&#8217;re used to receiving sensory feedback when we walk, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In an earlier post, I described two problems.  One was that my stump shrinks during the day and swells back up at night, so the leg is a bit tight in the morning.  It seems that the best way to deal with this is to wear a stump shrinker at night.  A [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;ve been devoted a bit of writing to how my prosthesis was made, what it feels like, and how it works, I haven&#8217;t really explained how I actually put the thing on each morning.  So here&#8217;s a tutorial on how to put on a leg&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Wayne sent my new liners so I wouldn&#8217;t have to come pick them up, and they arrived in the mail today.  Here&#8217;s what one looks like out of the box.  While sockets are custom fit and fabricated, most other prosthetics components are manufactured products like any other.

I&#8217;m almost embarrassed to say I&#8217;m spending way too much time walking around looking down at my leg and being pleased with myself.  Hey, I may as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far, so good.  I&#8217;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&#8217;s the most beautiful prosthesis I&#8217;ve ever seen.  And the fit appears to be perfect: I&#8217;ve been walking on it since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have yet to see Michael Moore&#8217;s movie, &#8220;Sicko&#8221;, but I&#8217;ve read that it does a fair job of pointing out how our health care system is broken.  Amen to that.  While getting a new prosthesis, courtesy of my old insurance company, I have been applying for new health insurance.  Sometimes we [...]]]></description>

Audrey &#8212; the two year-old hider of fabric &#8212; and I went back to Mendel&#8217;s, bought another half yard, and dropped it off at the prosthetics shop.  I hope this turns out well.
