Hopeful Uncertainty

Devon helped me today to wash up before my doctors appointment.  i know he loves me, but at 53 i would have never guessed i would need help to wash myself.  But it feels so good to be semi clean (my last solo shower was July 23, 2015).

i went to see the surgeon today and he was quite impressed with my progress.  A hole in my would is healing faster then i think he thought it would.  i don't see him now for two weeks. 

Also at the appointment was Karen, who will work with me when i get my leg.  She also wears a prosthetic leg, so i was able to ask her what to look forward to.  She filled me with confidence about the future.

If all goes well, we're looking at maybe 3 weeks before i am fitted with a leg.

And that first time will truly be a walk to remember.
