Spencer wrote-- My name is Spencer. I am a Left BKA as of March 6 2014. I live in the Ventura County area of Southern California. I am looking for some local groups or people that I can get support and learning from. In addition, I went and tried my prosthesis on for the first time on 6/30/14. The prosthetic Dr. had me wearing it and walking around for about 40 minutes (Is that normal for a first time wearing?). When I took it off the scar site was abraded and starting to think about blistering. What can I do to toughen up the skin? Should I wear a shrinker sock under the neoprene sleeve to prevent friction? What is the time frame until it can be worn all day? This is a medicare class II prosthetic, any tips for performance improvement so that I can qualify for a class III or class IV? An additional complication is that I have type II Diabetes with Microvascular Peripheral Artery Disease. I realize this is a lot of questions and thank you in advance for any assistance/information you are able to provide.
