Not so much. When I am inside I use a small transport wheelchair and I use my right leg to motivate myself around. I have worked in my house to be easier for me to get around. Any time I leave the house or go outside to sit in my front porch I use crutches and my prosthetic leg. I am working hard to get walking with a cane and get rid of crutches. My left shoulder and neck are damaged because of using crutches for last 7 months. Thank you so much for the questions.

@@wadehamlin yes I put crutches in passenger seat or in back of car. I have a Kia soul and have room to put wheelchair and crutches. I have pt this morning and I am really wanting to walk without crutches. If I fall there are plenty of people to pick me up 😎 I’ll try and post videos today if critters and with my prosthetic leg. I’m still learning how to edit and make videos. My voice is weird sounding because of surgeries and being in constant and ventilation for 9 days. I apologize it took me a bit to respond.

Yes I honor one leg. I do exercises working on my balance. I used to play golf all the time and my goal is to play this summer. I get a golf club and stand in yard and work on balance.

@@wadehamlin these are like 14 years old and I’ve had them since my accident. I am really working on trying to walk more. I have a mental block that I can motivate better on crutches than I can my leg and my physical therapist is working hard on me to let go and walk again lol. It’s a process.
