- Hi to all of you. Just started getting this echo. Don and I have a
- friend that has just gone thru amputation - below the knee right leg.
- This has recently occured, June of 92. He is doing well but has TONS of
- phanthom pain. He is 80 yea, really a neat guy. He was a golfer and
- worked upwards of 40 hours a week. His attitude is positive with
- reservations, (I think normal?). He is hoping to golf again in time.
- Since he doesn't have the opportunity to be on the system, I decided to
- do my own thing to maybe help and ask questions. He just got fitted for
- the temp prosthesis (sp?) so has that road to travel. The pain is the
- biggest problem. Any suggestions, length of time for relief etc.
- Looking forward to making new friends on here as the other echos I am
- chatting with are so helpful and friendly.
- Shari
