I'm writing this with a huge smile on my face. Today we got the news we've been waiting for: Dad has been cleared to get his prosthetic!
For those who don’t know, you actually have to get a prescription from a doctor to get a prosthetic. Dad’s first prosthetic appointment will actually be a consultation. His second appointment will be a fitting. From there he’ll get a temporary prosthetic before graduating to a permanent one.
Dad still has a great deal of hard work and therapy ahead of him, but this is an exciting step forward. (Yeah, that pun was totally intended!) Phase 3 of this journey is just around the corner, and I know my Dad’s going to do great!
