AF350: Glad to hear the eye appointment went well.

Well it's been a pretty full day for me. Went to the orthopedics clinic this morning where they fitted me with the new leg. I then stood up and started walking around the docs office with only a slight limp. He was surprised to say the least. He said most people need help just to stand up and then need assistance to walk a bit. I go back there on the 19th. When we got home it was really nice to walk from the car to the house. I used the folded up walker like a cane just in case. Since then I've been walking around in the house a bit. Just made a trip to the bathroom and back with only my cane for assistance. I had left my chair parked in front of the computer in the office. It feels great to be able to walk around again. I found out earlier today that if I have to take the leg off for any reason (bed would be one) it has to go back on absolutely straight or it hurts really bad. I did it earlier just to see if I could get it right quickly. It took me about fifteen minutes to get it just right.
Time to call it a night here. See y'all tomorrow.
