I know it's a case of fine-tuning, but some days are definitely WORSE than others.<br /><br />When I climb or bike, I wear a harness that attaches the prosthesis around my waist. The brand name is "Power Belt." It's not the most comfortable thing, but at least if I lose suction in my socket, the whole leg doesn't fall off!<br /><br />I don't wear shoes with heels although I've met some above-knee amputees who do. There is an adjustable foot that's available, but I haven't tried it.<br /><br />Hang in there! I hope with more adjustments, your comfort and activity will improve over time. Keep me posted!<br />Happy New Year!<br /><br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837248029569317654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023650171330174929.post-24388886088571963022013-12-27T15:10:01.340-05:002013-12-27T15:10:01.340-05:00How do you guys do that climbing?
