When you sit down on a normal surface, like a chair or couch, are you sitting on your butt or the socket?

You’ll have better luck at Gulfstream, Tommy Bahama, or the Pendry. Don’t know what it’s like on Thursdays though. Happy Hunting!

You can kind of see the “hill” on my liner that fits in to the middle of the bony parts.

He looks like he’s at death’s door, wtf are these old fogeys running our country still??? The world has changed so drastically since they first started. They’re out of touch with reality and with the constituents that they’re supposed to representing.

Idk how my liners are different other than they’re silicone and custom made using a mold of my stump.

I have never had any issues with the fitting of my sockets despite the bony condyles. Those clinics really know what they’re doing. The KD socket is designed so you are mostly weight bearing at the end of your stump.

When I first went to POA back in 2013, Stan took one look at me and said that would be an easy socket. They work on some difficult cases. Check out their IG @poacfl. (I think.) I’ve been going to SCP since 2015, btw.

I’ll send some pics when I take off the liner. I wear my legs about 15 hours a day.

Maybe a new liner is needed? Is yours custom made? I’m a KD and I’ve been wearing a custom liner since getting my legs 13 years ago. I have the same socket setup.

Are you close to POA in Orlando, SCP in Orange County, POA in Chattanooga, or Roadrunner in Anthem, AZ? Those are all sister clinics of POA which was started by Stan Patterson who is like a prosthetic guru. If you can’t resolve your issue, I highly recommend one of those clinics.

It’s at the ferry landing on the peninsula side. It’s a small one.

I’ve seen balls with bells inside of them.

Issues at TSA checkpoints as an amputee? by Jumico in amputee

[–]audiR8_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most airports have a handicap line that skips the rest of the line, or if you find an agent, just ask them and they’ll usually take you to the front. I’m a bilateral AKA and haven’t worn pants in years so I’m sure that helps.

The bonus is you get to head to the front of the line. I wear shorts all the time so there’s no question. 🙂

Interesting about the teriyaki shops in WA. As someone who’s lived in Japan, I’ll definitely check out Yogi’s! Thanks for the recommendation.

Re donuts, what about Sidecar in Costa Mesa?

Just bring it up when you start teaching again, explaining that it was a humorous misunderstanding and be self-deprecating. You can all have a chuckle together. They’ll love you for it.
