My boy got his new leg last week

That is some awesome artwork by your wife, wow.

Yes I should be rich and retired, but she is chicken to market herself.

I have had the privlage of being a member of Civitan International when I was younger. This is awesome!! I've seen alot of people with handicaps over the course of my life and they have over come them. This brings back so many memories from back then.

Thank you and your son for this!! [Beer] And congraulations!!

They tool it off right below the ankle and attached the heel bone to the bottom of leg bone. It feels and looks just like our heels with the skin and cushion. He can hobble along without his leg at the swimming pool or to get up and go pee at night. It will continue to get shorter as he gets older but that is a good thing. He needs more room for better ankle parts.

With all the advances in technology, it'll only get better for him! Shriner's do good work. Ever thought about being one?

Wow - quite the artist your wife is - her labor of love for your son shows. Congrats on his new leg may he wear you out while using it !
