My first leg was made in 2015, following the emergency amputation due to antibiotic resistant staff - thanks to St. Francis' leg and foot hospitals poor hygiene - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrerererrr!
That first leg did not do well.
My leg responded to the amputation by growing a bone perpendicular to the shin.
Very painful.
Numerous infections.
I was reduced to a quivering mass loate one night in ER as yet another staph was threatening to kill me.
So, with a bone revision I have spent 7 months recovering from, it was trime to try a new leg.
In the passed two years technology has changed in all aspects so far.
Making the mold is fair clean, non-plaster process.
The liners you need to wear with your leg are very different! So no tearing is foreseen!
The liner is flat on the bottom now, so should work with the new leg contour.
In all, an easy experience and far better than last time!
Now come on Tuesday!
When the leg will be ready for a test drive .....
