This was my first time to stand on 2 feet since March 5. This leg was for fitting and adjusting, had to leave it there. By next Wednesday I will have my new leg. Hot Dang!

It was great, after learning how to stand and step properly I walked through the office, (with the cpo and just pushing a walker to catch myself if I stumbled) down the mall a short distance. Then talked a half dozen stairs up and down. Then my leg said it had enough. Total up time was probably an hour. Burned me out, will take a lot of work to get back in shape.

Well, you're having a smile on your face, good to see you happy!

That smile says it all. Just think an hour today and a year from now walking out to the 100 yard target will be easy as pie.

Glad to see your starting to walk again. My oldest brother just go his new leg in Dec. and this afternoon he and I laid two pallets of Sod at his house. Sense he got the hang of walking on it, he hasn't slowed down a bit. I'm Sending out more prayers for you and Bee keeper, Good luck with the new leg and keep the faith.
