Just when I thought I had developed a system to remain mobile a skin sore has developed which has rendered me unable to wear my leg. I'm so frustrated I could scream, but that would only result in upsetting the dog and hurting my throat. Instead, I'm going to keep my leg off, keep busy and watch Christmas movies whenever I become sad. (I have a feeling the movies will be streaming nonstop this weekend.)
I developed a penny sized blister on the back of my calf. The position of the sore creates a significant amount of pain whenever I don my socket. By mid afternoon I was using a crutch to keep the pressure to a minimum. By the time the sun set I had completely abandoned my leg and resigned myself to crutches for the night.
As much as I despise doing it, I am going to forgo wearing my leg for the entire weekend. My leg really needs to heal and it won't if I continue to aggravate the sore with my prosthesis. Sometimes being an amputee really sucks and today is one of those days!
