My heart goes out to you.

I was trying to also say that my second cousin's name was Ray. He was a ww2 veteran. He got so good at walking with his prosthetic leg that he could do better then the rest of us on ice. I'm sure you will too.
Thanks I hope the best I can do is walk with a quad cane. My distance was getting better until I reinjured my leg.

Thank you Carol it is mostly my amputated hand and wrist. The nerve endings at the tip wont seem to settle down. Sometimes my fingers hurt (fantom pains). The doctor says it could take up to 7 or 8 years for them to subside. I get fantom pains in my leg. They usually only last for a few hours.
Ray, how long ago was your accident? Was it a car accident?
I'm so sorry you are in pain so much. Chronic pain is no fun. I empathize with you.

So much nicer than the usual shade of pink:)
I still have a nice line of purple bruise around my foot after all this time, but it is fading.
It all takes time and rest.....and more time and rest........
It took an entire year for me to lose this bruise...20180306_144416.jpeg

Well, I am caught up again! Found out the other day, my sulcata Shorty, is a he! First time a tort has flashed me. He is only about 8 inches long and 5lb 14oz. He is finally starting to gain weight. Now if my bigger ones would just let me know. I think one is female and one is male but I can not tell. I will have to post pictures to see what you think.

Welcome to the “Oh! It’s a male! THAT wasn’t what I expected!” club [emoji23]

Good mornooning all. It’s Wednesday and we are past the hump already as Good Friday is a public holiday for us here in the UK :)

I am going to try swimming today. I have no idea how I will get on, and I am banned from doing breast stroke due to the pressure it puts on the knees, but I need something to relieve the boredom!
