: Hi, My left leg was removed by hip disarticulation 3 months ago. I have made what I consider satisfactory progress. I have used crutches all my life, the leg removed was short and non-functional. I find getting around easier without the leg.

: I live in the mountains and have spent the last 3 weekends camping out alone. I have hiked 9 miles one way with a full pack. I get around the house fine.

: I may be the only one to say I am glad I had this done. Too bad my parents didn't have this done when I was 7 or so. I have had no phantom pains, my leg and hip were paralyzed all my life.

: Thanks for the support from many on this list. I love you all.

I don't know if you recieved an earlier mail from me. I have developed a perch type crutch for SAK and SHD amps, especially if they are large sie people. If you think you might be interested, please feel free to drop me a line.
Best wished and luck in your life ahead.
