Back from the doctor!
I was at the clinic today, and I now have my cast off! It feels so good to finally be out of my cast! I only saw Dr. D briefly, and then I saw one of the prosthetists. He gave me some stockings to shrink my stump, that I have to wear all of the time. I have to go back in two weeks and if the swelling is all gone, then they can mold me for the socket that attaches to the prosthesis. The socket goes on the end of my stump.
I have to start doing exercises to stretch the muscles in my leg. I couldn't really do them before, because my knee was bent in the cast. Once I get the prosthesis, I can start to walk!
I haven't been in a whole lot of pain lately, and the spasms pretty much went away, but this afternoon, they (the spasms) are starting up again. I don't know why. But they will go away eventually.
I'll write more later.

Late comment, again. My computer's been having problems. :P
And you're doing school through all this? *is in awe* I'm having a hard time keeping up after my move, but after an amputation I would probably throw my books out the window. Though it would be a good thing to study while you're recovering... Maybe I'd only throw my Algebra books out the window. ;)
