Usually I wake up early, pop on my leg and start my day. I really don't think a lot about my prosthesis throughout the day. Unless I switch it to swim, I wear it for about 16 hours at a time without adjusting or removing.
Unfortunately, today is not shaping up to be the norm. I have already adjusted my leg 6 times, and I'm still not comfortable. I don't know why, but it just doesn't fit correctly this morning. Regardless of its position, the socket is pushing and pulling against the nerve bundles in my limb.
In a rare move, I am now sitting on the couch with my leg removed. I'm hoping that the nerves settle down and that the socket will feel comfortable when I step back into it. Fingers crossed the prosthetic fairies can work their magic while I'm resting!
