Closer to Comfort

Tomorrow I go to pick up my new leg. Fingers crossed that the test socket is comfortable and that I'm able to walk out wearing a new leg! It has been such a long road, filled with detours and obstacles. I'm so excited to restart the "completely comfortable" phase of my life. 

It is hard to fathom that I haven't been completely comfortable (for more than a few days at a time) since Timmy was born. I have been struggling for almost eight years! The revision/ re-amputation after he was born has completely transformed my amputee experience. I realized that I had been so fortunate to be comfortable for such a long time. One little change in a limb can totally destroy the comfort of the socket.

I am looking forward to jumping on the trampoline, running with Timmy and going through my day without thinking about my prosthesis. Hopefully all of those dreams will become a reality. I know it is possible because it used to be my reality.
