Doing physical therapy
Wow, it sure has been a long time since I've posted anything!
There really isn't much new. I recently started physical therapy. It basically consists of doing exercises, and doing them at home every day. I have been told that I am doing so well, that I really only need to go two more times. After that, it is just continuing to do the exercises and adding weights to my legs as they get stronger.
Next week the therapist will get me on the treadmill and see how walking at a fast pace goes. Being winter, I can't do much outside. But my mom has told me that I can go with her and my dad to the mall and walk around, in order to build up my endurance.
After therapy today, we stopped in to see the prosthetist and he told us to stop in after therapy next week, and then I will leave my prosthesis there so that they can finish it. He said that I am walking very well!
In the spring, I should be able to get outside more and ride my bike around and other stuff. Meanwhile, I think walking around a mall will be helpful.
I'll update when my prosthesis is completely finished. I'm anxious to see what it will look like.

Sorry this took so long for me to reply to. I've lost the link several times, and then forgotten in the hassle of school, moving and attempting to socialize with strangers. :)
It's amazing how fast you're recovering, and how much you'll be able to do! I didn't know you'd be able to ride a bike. That will be so much fun! (I like riding, but I'm not good at endurance and sometimes have some trouble after the ride.)
I'm glad I know you're on the SL forum now. I was a bit afraid that whoever said I commented on their blog was being sarcastic, because I don't normally comment on everyone's sites. *whew* But thanks for telling me. See you around!
