THE NEW LEG 11-29-12


ON AUGUST 17, 2012 ALL MY PROBLEMS WITH MY RIGHT LEG WERE OVER WHEN THE DOC AMPUTATED IT BELOW THE KNEE. I DID HAVE TO GO THRU REHAB, BUT I BEAT THEIR ESTIMATED TIME IT WOULD TAKE TO LEARN HOW TO WALK AND RIDE THE BIKE AGAIN, THEY SAID NO EARLIER THAN APRIL 2013. I WAS WALKING AND RIDING AGAIN BY OCTOBER 15, 2012. SCROLL DOWN FOR A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. AND PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS THIS IS MY FIRST POST SINCE APRIL 2012. REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK THE PICTURE.

FINALLY, HERE I AM ON MY HARLEY GETTING READY TO GO FOR A QUICK RUN. NOTICE THE HARLEY LOGO ON MY PROSTHETIC LEG.

THAT WILL CONCLUDE THIS POST. I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF FOR THE BLOG, SO STAY TUNED FOR MANY NEW UPCOMING POSTS. I'LL TRY TO START POSTING THIS SATURDAY 12-1-12. IT  IS GREAT TO BE BACK RIDING AND WITH MY FRIENDS AGAIN!
