Also - why so many liners

@anthonykingatl After the initial amputation the stump fills with fluid and is quite swollen. Not to mention after a while atrophy occurs. So the stump is always changing. So the ply socks you see me putting on help the prosthetic fit better. Because I was measured for the prosthetic about two months ago. Two months ago the stump was huge compared to today.

Yeah thanks for sharing. Hey curious what caused the loss of a chunk of ya?

@tangoseal1 I'm supposed to go see the doctor who took my leg tomorrow. I know he took pictures because I had such a rare vascular condition. I'll see if I can get a copy and make a video.
