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
