Leg At Last!

Well, it finally happened - I got my new leg!
Tempted to show a photo but words will have to do!

It has taken weeks to get a ride to my leg maker's.
I wrecked my car.
Nephew wrecked his car.
Swede is rebuilding his bathrooms.
And everyone else I count on is in holiday support mode!
Or completely addicted to watching the Hallmark Channel on the boob-tube ...

At long last day has come!

Swede was 90 minutes late due to traffic.
We had a great lunch but slow service.
Rain was falling in Seattle winter style.
It was 12:58 when we made it to Seattle,
13 more minutes before we could make it!
But has luck would have it - he was late.
Then he had to find his assistant.

Short of it:
2 hours later I had a working leg again.
A svelte socket
Which should allow me to wear tapered jeans!
:)

It took several hours
And I hope this leg will last a few more miles than the last one!
I can hardly wait to take a hike.
I wanted to do this tomorrow, but the Dr says to wait a week and relearn my balance.
Probably safe and sane advice
But it is galling to do so.
sigh .....

Maybe Monday ... or Tuesday ... or ?
