The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

I did a little work on Oliver's adventure today. Mostly adding some detail to the dialog that's displayed.

In the battle with the prosthesis I believe I found the answer. Baby powder. I sprinkled some on the inside and outside of the gel liner (goes between the stump and the socket), in the socket where the liner encased stump goes, being especially careful to get it on the part that's been bugging me. I also put some on the inner surface of the sleeve. The sleeve is a rubber tube that's rolled onto the prosthesis and the unrolled up over the knee and onto the thigh. It locks the prosthesis and leg together as a unit. They don't come apart easily. Now the liner, sleeve and socket can all slide against each other a little and still do their respective jobs and it feels much better. I've had the leg on for three hours and I hardly notice it. I've even been walking around on it a little and it feels all right. I can feel the pressure from my weight (240 pounds) bearing down on it but I don't have the pain I had earlier. Looks like the powder is the answer. A while back somebody said Gold Bond powder worked best, so when I can get some I'll give it a try.

Time to call it a night. I'll see y'all tomorrow.
