I began home therapy (and Homebound schooling) the same week I returned home from Duke Medical Center. By the forth week after  surgery, I was going to therapy at CCRC 2 days a week. I have been going to therapy ever week since then. It has been pretty intense. But I have been lucky to have such good therapist. They have took a personal interest in me and have made it fun for me to continue with therapy as long as I have.

With Rotationplasty, there's a lot I have to do to get my leg ready for a prosthetic. The more range of motion (plantarflexion, dorsiflexion) I can get, the more I can bend my leg.

There's a lot of stretching , ice, weights and other exercises to get my leg at the degree it needs to be.

It's been a slow process getting ready for my prosthetic. It was not until June 2007 that I began wearing it all day. I gradually worked up to it by wearing it a few hours a day. Now I put it on as soon as I get up and I don't take it off until I go to bed. I have had a few set backs in wearing the prosthetic. The main problem has been in grown toenails.

This is Rich Davis. He is a good friend. He's always here to help me whenever I need anything or have questions.
