April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month

3 years ago I got my last socket and up until about 6 months ago it had been fitting really well. But my limb has shrank over the time and my prosthesis had tried making adjustments too it but they didn't help so it's now time for a new socket. What this means for me is that I can design a new wrap for my socket which I like since I consider it like having tattoos.

So here is my old/current socket with it's wrap to give you an idea.

These were some other designs that I'd made before.

There is a place called Fred's Legs that prints your design on cloth and then it's cast into the socket as it's being made. So I can make pretty much anything I want for a wrap to go onto my socket.

Here's some more designs I'd toyed with.

Cool part is that I can print it out onto a piece of paper to get a general idea what it's going to look like

I see a Harley logo, are the oil leaks a problem?
 
Sorry if this is disturbing to some. But I couldn’t help but make this “meme” after taking a picture of my stump. It’s red because my new liner and socket are irritating it. The resemblance is shocking.
