And now I am truly a pegleg.

It’s got problems that will need adjustment. It’s pressing on a sensitive spot in much the same way the test socket did, but not as badly and that turned out to be easily fixed the first time. I’m still in a frustrating place between padding it too loose here and too tight there, but that will almost certainly prove workable – I’ve played this game before. Right now its only real virtues are that it’s a little longer than its predecessor, which hopefully will address some long-standing back problems, and it’s certainly a lot less ragged and threadbare.


But I don’t think the prosthetist and I are done with each other quite yet. To those who helped with the financing, many thanks.

    The first photo is very artsy. The caption could be “A Cyborg on Mars”.
    Let’s hope you and the prosthetist are done with each other before The Virus arrives.

    The first photo reminds me of a western movie – “stand-off in the gulch”.

    May you and the (adjusted) leg have a long life together!

    How long until one of your care packages contain an eye patch & a stuffed parrot, I wonder?

To the stake with the heretic!
