Thanks Dick, wow you have your challenges with being a Double amputee.  Well, 
I do wear a limb but.........because of other knee needing to be replaced 
it's very hard to walk or stand long and not without a walker.  I'm currently 
using the silk lotion on and inside the liner.

I'm supposed to be getting a new socket next week.  Same type but the kind  
you pull your leg into with a fabric material and string but will still works 
as a suction.

I try to wear heavy clothing, and now a sock over the stump when I don't have 
the limb on.  It's very hard for me to wear the leg for long periods of time. 
 In fact I really only wear it when I'm going out and about.

Honestly, I'm too active to be on a walker so I use my wheelchair to busy 
around the house all the time as I can accomplish much more from and on my 
wheelchair.
Thanks
Carolyn
