I spent two hours with my prosthetist, trying to rediscover a comfortable fit. I am so grateful that he never gives up, and that he won't settle for "okay." I went to the appointment optimistic that I would walk out in complete comfort, and I wasn't disappointed. Hooray for a comfy leg!
When my leg fits correctly I feel better and more energized. I came home from the appointment and decided to put my socket through its paces. After making sure that everybody was settled, I put the leash on Friend and headed out for a three mile walk. Although I had to stop to carry Friend, but I did not have to readjust my leg.
This weekend is going to be busy, so I'm glad that I will be wearing a leg that fits correctly. Tomorrow Robby performs the first of two shows for his band. He has his first major lead in a song and has been practicing nearly nonstop. I know that he is nervous, but I have no doubt that he will do a great job. (If he does make a mistake, it won't be because of a lack of preparation.)
I'll post videos tomorrow night after the show. Wish him luck!
