bum leg

Thanks everyone for your kind replies, thoughts and prayers. They are very much appreciated. Pegleg- my gait is terrible. My leg is 1+ inches shorter, plus my hip is fused at a slightly forward angle and my knee is slightly bent. I have tried having sole of shoe built up to compensate for the shortage, but can't drive with it, can't pull foot off gas pedal. Pain normally comes from swelling of leg, which gets worse as the day goes on. The doctor said my leg had "worst devastation" he had ever seen and admitted later he should have taken it off. I do have a scooter to use, and I have seen some heavy duty all terrain types that I would love to have, just can't afford or really justify. I try to keep a positive attitude and amaze myself with what I can do with a lot of thinking out of the box and perseverance. I know there are others worse off than me, and I draw inspiration from them. To keep going is easier than waiting around to die.
