How you feeling after your operation? I imagine it must be pretty weird seeing a stump instead of a leg, even if you were ready for it.

The cool (?) thing is, this leg was fucked up for so long already that it wasn't so much of a shock. I've been using a gigantic leg brace and ace wraps and shit for long enough that it was honestly weirder to see my normal leg; so now that there's a stump instead, it happens to line up *pretty* close to where my brace started, and it's actually not weird to look at for me.

I've also got a little bit of phantom-sensation going on, which is pretty surreal.
