The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!
Good morning. It's 50° with 56% humidity. The high will be 58°. It'll be cloudy with a fair chance of rain.

Still having some pain issues with the new prosthesis but at least I know now what's causing it. My stump is shrinking more and that causes it to sink lower into the socket and causes parts of the socket to press against places they it was intended to clear. I talked with the doc about this at some length this morning. His advice is to put on the extra socks that came with the prosthesis. That should take care of the problem. Well it did to some extent. The problem part of the socket was still pressing hard against the side of my knee. So I took one of the socks, folded it in half and put that between my knee and the part of the socket that's giving me a problem. That helped quite a bit. My knee isn't really happy but it's not complaining loudly either. I also made it a point to ask the doc if I could take a shower with this thing on. That was one of my stipulations when I'd ordered it in the first lace. The answer was a disappointment. No. I can't get it wet. When I see him next week I'll grill him in greater detail about what I can do to it to make it possible to take a shower with it on. More importantly I'll be demanding to know why I didn't get a waterproof one like I had asked for. Probably the insurance cheaping out.

No set plans for today. I'm thinking about working on Oliver's adventure later. That's not the name of that part of the game but it sounds better than 'Native Fury: Train segment' don't you think?
