Just back from a frustrating, if necessary, day in Cardiff.
My new artificial leg with a seal-in liner has been giving me nothing but trouble since I got it a couple of months ago.
In fact, its been unwearable.
The source of the problem has been a bony area on my leg which rubs painfully against the hard socket shell of the prosthesis.
I'd pretty much given up hope on ever being able to use it but today Ian, my prothetist, proposed a solution which I'm fairly confident will work.
He's going to remake the socket, building in a soft rubber pad and extra space to accommodate the troublesome bone.
Fingers crossed.
