photo tribute: a well-traveled limb

photo tribute: a well-traveled limb

written by Jana December 14, 2006

Bidding farewell to most of my leg today as I upgrade the socket, cosmesis, stockings, and so forth. A pilgrimgirl first: a photo essay tribute to a well-traveled limb.

As I put this together I asked myself why I wanted to take pictures of my leg, why this was important to me. And I realized how much I wish I had similar photos of my real leg before it was amputated. To help me remember.

my dad is a prosthetist, but even so, I’m completely unversed in what all but the first shot are pictures of.

Your thoughts made me pause to think “What don’t I have pictures of that I would regret not having pictures of if I lost it?” Don’t have an answer, but thanks for the message.

I was trying to be artful about showing my leg. I sort of meant for the pictures to be somewhat ambiguous. But if you mouse over them the titles of the images will give you some idea of what you’re looking at :)

BTW, nice to see you on my blog!

Jana – I really enjoyed these pictures. I hope your new leg fits better and you are very, very comfortable!

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
