Update:
Getting ready to have my
third test socket made in two months. Things haven't been going well lately.
I've got multiple things going on with my leg so it is tough to "fix"
them. My first prosthesis was a dream. This one is turning into a nightmare. As
I was leaving the prosthetist's office the other day after a long appointment,
I turned on the CD player in my truck. I had a Buffalo Springfield CD loaded. The
first song starts out, "There is something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear..." I just started
laughing--perfect timing. The lyrics expressed my thoughts (and my
prosthetist's frustrations) exactly. Hopefully this next casting (using a
different method along with a socket using a different weight bearing system)
will produce a solution to the multiple issues I've been having. Right now, I
am struggling mentally more than I ever had since my amputation (LBKA 12/2013). I've
had set backs before, but up to this point I was always confident that I'd get
back up on top. Part of me still believes that; but I'm struggling to regain my
optimism. I am confident of this--God will strengthen and enable me to go
through whatever I face! And that's something I can hang onto!
