Wellness Wednesday

Your socket is the foundation of your prosthesis. If it’s too loose or tight, it can affect your comfort, mobility, and even skin health.

✅ Watch for pressure spots or lasting redness
✅ Let us know if your fit feels different—especially with weight changes
✅ Don’t ignore discomfort—it’s fixable!

Your prosthesis should work with you, not against you. If it doesn’t feel right, let’s get it adjusted.

The most important thing to remember, is that everyone’s healing journey is different so timelines will vary from person to person. Here is a general timeline of events that you might expect.

✔️ Before being fit, your surgical site needs time to heal. This can take 4 to 8 weeks depending on your health and any complications.
✔️ Once healed, you will be evaluated and fitted for a shrinker to shape and prepare your residual limb.
✔️ You will then be evaluated by your prosthetist and psychiatrist to properly document the need for your prosthesis and satisfy insurance requirements. Paperwork will be sent into the insurance company for approval. This usually takes about 2 weeks for approval, but could take much longer if the claim is denied.
✔️ While we are waiting for approval, we will cast or scan your land and begin making your initial prosthesis. There are several steps to make your final prosthesis, including, casting, trial fittings, and finally the delivery of your leg. This process can take between 2 to 4 weeks.
✔️ You can expect to receive your first prosthesis within 6 to 12 weeks post surgery, but this varies based on your healing, insurance and situation

Remember, getting the right fit takes time and adjustments—and that is okay. This is a journey, not a sprint!

Wellness Wednesday-Exercise of the Day!

After an above-knee amputation, it is important to avoid keeping your hip in a bent position for too long.

Try to keep it moving, even when you are resting. This helps maintain flexibility for walking and future prosthetic use.

✅ Avoid sitting for long periods
✅ Life flat on your stomach 2 to 3 times a day for 20 minutes
✅ Don’t place pillows under your hips, thighs or residual limb.

A flexible hip means a smoother, gait, better balance, and more comfort with your prosthesis.
Small habits=big impact.
