Good Afternoon Tony
I have been corresponding with Heather Mills and she has suggested that I contact you - I am an amputee and have been for four (4) years - left leg below knee - this was due to a prescription drug re-action. Due to this re-action I seem to have a problem getting Prosthesis to fit properly. I have two (2) legs - one is the so called wizz bang leg with the spring action and it is the second attempt and making it and it still is not quite right and other leg is just the normal ( I think) and I wear it every day and I do have problems with rubbing etc.
I just do not seem to get around like I should by now - I watch Heather and other women and they seem to cope better. I am 52 years old and due to my lack of exercise I have put on a lot of weight since my operation and I guess that does not help.
Recently I have had a few falls and this has caused some problems which I guess has not helped.
After my operation I coped so well and was back at work full-time in 9 weeks and I guess I just do not seemed to improved much more over the past four (4) years.
I do not know why I am writing this to you only I guess that Heather Mills suggest that my Prosthesis may be the problems - I also have a problem with shoes etc - I cannot wear any sort of heal ( just flat) shoes and with all the nice shoes around now I guess that upset's me a bit.
It does sound like I am complaining - which I do not want to I just want quality of life and to lead as normal a life as possible.
Thank you for reading this - it does help to know that people do understand - because I do not really know anyone in the same situation.
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS
Kind Regards
