I don't talk about it much, but , good things are good things. Like 95ram360 getting back to Maine and doing good and being happy.

I had another surgery Feb. 9th because of sever pain back in December at the site of my amputation. Took this long to heal, and today I finally got a new leg. yahooo. Maybe I won't be so much of a dick now.... not.... LOL

Thanks, this nitemare has been going on since "Friday the 13th" Nov. 09 when it was originally amputated. Next good thing would be getting back to work and keeping my house. LOL

damn dude..

it was said to me, and I find it to be accurate to some extent that "for every bad day you have, a good is close in tow- they're jealous like that..".. It's a matter of holding on.. That damn sure doesn't make it any easier though, does it?

It sounds as if you might be rounding the corner though man.. I hope you get a bunch of good in short order!

Glad to hear you are doing better. Why did they amputate your leg in the first place??

So, is it time to swap out that auto for a six speed now??

Did you get a custom leg/foot? Good to hear things are looking up for you.

Yes, foot is awesome $6000, bends almost like real. The socket for around the leg is a check socket for a week or so, to make sure it fits right, then they make the final one from carbon fiber, like my first one back in 09.

Here is the history, it's long and has some rather graphic pictures if you want to read it. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-surgery.html

Get a custom flame job on it.

I'm dead serious. Hell, it's YOUR foot. I think it's cool that people today rock custom prosthetics loud and proud.
