LimbLogic VS (on right)
Yay! Robert just got his second leg, a LimbLogic Vacuum Seal leg with a waterproof pump that creates a vacuum inside the gel sleeve. It comes with a charger and remote control fob to adjust the suction level - pretty cool stuff.
Because his limb has shrunk, it's a much tighter fit, but easier to move. Otherwise, he has had some pain, as discussed in the Neuroma or Normal blog, so our next step is to see the doctor and hope that Robert can receive instruction under a renown Houston physical therapist, Ann Sanders.
One step at a time, we are getting there!
Old leg on the left - see how much larger it is?
You press the white button to turn on/off the pump, which is that little cylinder at the end.
Our prosthetist, Robby Schiff, teaching Robert how to use the pump.
