I have my new leg! The insurance papers came in and Snells released my leg late yesterday.
Now I begin the process of learning how to walk. The hardest part will be streching my thigh muscles so I have a natural standing position. I have used crutches for the past 2 months so stooping is my natural position. Also my stump has had minimal stress on it since the surgery so I must work those muscles. It will be work but I will do it. The doctors say that most people take 6 months to walk without crutches. I walked with one crutch after 4 weeks when I had my first leg so I think I can beet the average.
More recent news. I had an MRI and CT scan on Wednesday. The results of these determine my next few months. I'm either done with chemo or I get another surgery and then more chemo. Needless to say I am hoping for the former. April is on edge and I'm a little nervous too. It will work out either way, but one of those ways really, really sucks. Iexpect to get my results next Wednesday or maybe sooner.
That's all for today. More soon.
