    Reminds me when I walked for the first time. It was awesome, I felt so happy. Getting a prosthetic leg was the best part of my life cause my leg had to be amputated above my knee when I was hardly a few months because of the body deformity that I was born with. This was the second surgery, after my heart surgery, and those 2 years in the hospital were horrible, but when I got my leg, it was freedom for me. Back then I could only walk, now I can do everything. All thanks to my prosthetic leg.

      Dennis Saunders congratulations my dear!!! My great Auntie lost her leg. She was so nervous at first. And I’ll tell you when she got her leg she actually ran a marathon! She got 17th place at age 54. That was back in the early 80’s. She had a special leg that was in testing and used for the first time. I was quite young so I don’t really know the functionality and difference... but I was so proud of her! She was a go getter type of person. And when she lost her leg she felt a bit trapped. I remember her saying to me. “The sky is the limit, I can walk again!” Cheering and crying. I cried too! She trained for 2 years and ran that marathon! She had so many things happened to her and her husband. She passed away at the tender age of 74 to cancer. She fought this cancer from her 30’s. Watching this brought back such wonderful memories of her! What an inspirational woman she was!
      I’m so happy to read your comment!
      They sky is the limit, and beyond!

    It has been a number of years now, but the first time I walked on my prosthetic leg didn't require any learning.
    You use the same techniques as walking on a real leg.
    I never used a walker or crutches, and she didn't really need them either, they were just there to help her confidence.
    I have nearly the exact same amputation as the nice lady in this video.
    The "stump" (residual limb) does hurt after a day involving a lot of walking.
    When you have to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, that does pretty much suck.
    I bought a 4 wheeled "knee scooter" to get around the house without putting on the prosthesis, it's much easier to get around than using a wheelchair would be!
    The scooter works well if your house has only one level.
