Continued Strides

It has been a busy couple of weeks for Suzanne. Last Friday she met with her prosthetist again, so that he could assess the fit and comfort of her left leg. He also made a mold of her right leg during the visit to proceed with ordering the prosthesis for that side. Suzanne has also been making twice weekly trips to the NRH to strengthen her core and prepare for her gait training which will immediately follow the arrival of the right leg prosthesis. Yesterday, Suzanne was reunited, for the first time, with many of her SOCMA colleagues at their Christmas luncheon. It was an opportunity for everyone to see Suzanne’s progress, meet Gabby and was a chance for Sue to catch up on the office gossip. When she has finished with her gait training, probably in January, she will soon be taking back some of her old responsibilities.
