From: <A HREF=mailto:<Email Address Redacted>> <Email Address Redacted> </A>
Hello,
I'm a BK amputee. I lost my leg in a horseback riding accident in 1967.
While trying out a new prosthesis in July, it fell off, causing me to fall. I
apparently landed on the metal and bolts and ended up doing a fair amount of
damage to my stump and knee. An MRI shows a torn cartridge that my doctor
tells me I need to have surgery on.
I'd like to find out what kind of problems I might be facing from recovery
from the surgery. One of my concerns is that I wear (and very much like) a
super condular prosthesis. I'm a little concerned how knee surgery might
affect my ability to wear this style afterwards.
