First Steps Redux

Today, Suzanne met with her prosthetist to receive the first of her new prosthetic limbs. Because she is a bilateral transtibial amputee, once she has the second limb, she will need to return to the NRH for "Gait Training" which will help her walk more naturally. Before then, she is going to be building her upper body strength with the parallel bars, walkers and crutches as an outpatient. Below are some images from today.
