The Mall

My Prosthesist wanted me to go to the Mall and walk around before the Mall even opens. Evidently people go there to walk around for exercise before the Mall opens. Being a good patient I met him there to walk around the mall. He made an attachment to my leg that goes up the left side of my body to prevent me from collapsing on my left side as I walk. He says I only need it for a short time to retrain my brain not to collapse on my left side as I walk. I can feel it and eventually I will be able to walk without feeling the the thing he made that goes all the way up to my ribs on the left side. It is kind of ironic for my father has been saying for over a year that when I take a step with my artificial leg (my left leg) lean to the right and now I do that with the the thing that Jerald made me. Dad was right. My flow and gate have improved so much and it is now hard to tell that I have an artificial leg on when I wear long pants.
