Savannah Welch Instagram – For the better part of the past year, my prosthetic leg has been so painful that I couldn’t wear it and simultaneously hold conversation like a normal person. For those that know the jargon, my residual limb slowly stopped fitting into the socket. It was just too damn tight and stuffing myself into it was cutting off my circulation. Between playing a character who is in a wheelchair living in frozen Ontario where we were under constant stay-at-home orders…I can chuckle and say, if there was ever a year to be a leg short…! So a year on crutches it was. When I’m home I scoot around on a fancy walker called a rollator and as grateful as I am for any and all assistive devices that help me and my fellow other-abled loves, I’m tired and desperate to be able to carry things while I walk. Enter the the good folks at @bulowops…! I owe them a huge thank you for helping me get back on my feet again this past week. It’s a process and I’m a skeptic, but baby steps are still steps! Scroll for some goofball content of said process (in reverse chronology) and if it speaks to you, take a moment to give thanks for all the parts of your body (robot or otherwise) that we so often take for granted. ⚡️🦿⚡️
