Mother Warriors, Monica appears on Oprah

All of us here at the "Bionic Mom" blog are familiar with the story of Monica Sprague. Now Oprah has brought Sepsis to the front of everyone else's minds. Monica appeared with Jenny McCarthy today, and Suzanne was fortunate enough to be home to see it. Sue said she was glad to to see how strong Monica looked. She was glad that Monica was up and walking and had such high energy. Since removing the staples in her right leg, she met with her prosthetist about measuring for the left leg. Nothing more to report right now.

How It's Made

Now that Suzanne has had the staples removed, from her right leg, she is moving even closer to her prosthetic fitting appointment. None has been set, because there is still significant healing to be done at the incision site. But when the surgeon has determined the skin to be strong enough, she will proceed. The left leg may be fitted soon though. Below I am including a video from the TV series "How It's Made." The first segment in the video features the prosthetic manufacturing process. It is oversimplified, but still interesting to watch.
