- I'm not uninformed about below-knee amputations. My son's cub-scout
- leader is a below-knee amputee and I've talked to him quite a bit.
-
- I also have a cousin who is now a nurse. She had her leg amputated
- below the knee due to a lawnmower accident.
-
- >Would you please let me know how you are doing?
-
- Sure. I've posted a message describing the outcome so far of my recent
- surgery.
-
- >How long will you be in the hospital?
-
- I was in the hospital from Tuesday November 3 to Friday November 6.
-
- I'm presently at home, recuperating from the surgery. I had no idea
- that it would be as painful as it was.
-
- It's still excruciatingly painful to laugh :-).
-
- What's especially annoying is not being able to get up once I lie
- down :-).
