On a personal Note, I have been patiently waiting for a Better lower Left Leg for some time now. On May 7, I had an Appointimet in Bakersfield, Ca. because I live in Kern County now. My Prosthesis doesn't fit well, but it is the only one I got. For over a year I have made my Court Appearances in a Wheel Chair, and I must hire a Driver to take me back and forth to Court. Well, at this Prosthesis Appointment, I learned that I now can have the newest Technology which is something that was only a Dream of mine a year ago. They now have computerized Feet, and they are Waterproof. A Computerized Foot can actually Sense and Bend with the movement of your leg and it gets signals from the movement of your upper leg muscles and nerves. Who'd a Thunk It by Golly. The Beer Summit I am going to try and attend even though this new computerized lower limb will not be available by May 13, but it is progress and it will be improvement after all.
I had run into a young man over a year ago, who was walking around quite normally. He came up to me because he saw I was wearing a Prosthesis and introduced himself. After we talked a while, he told me he had bot legs amputated above the knee. You would not have known it. He pulled up a pant leg and showed me a Computerized ankle, and then told me that his two legs were computerized. I was amazed at his ability to move with not evidence of change in Gait. His cost 300,000 per leg. Apparently progress and frequency of need have caused the price to decrease. Thank God for Progress.
