Dear sir, - I wonder if some of your one-legged girl correspondents would help a fresh addition to their number. I recently had my left leg amputated a few inches below the hip, and am just beginning to get about on my crutches. I am wearing a knitted stump sock, but should love to have silk ones if someone could tell me where they can be obtained. Also would it be possible to wear a garter on a 7 inch stump, or how can I keep one sock on?
Then again about crutches. Where can I obtain some really smart ones, and not the usual heavy hospital type? I should also like to have a pin leg for the house, but am afraid it would be awkward with a high amputation unless they can be had with some kind of a knee joint.
I would much appreciate a little advice from some of your correspondents who have been amputated longer than I have.
I am quite alone and pretty helpless with my one leg. I should love to get about on one crutch or to hap about without them, but soon find myself on the floor if I attempt it. I wish we one-legged girls could get in touch with each other by means of a club, say, in London. Is there any such thing?
Yours truly,
A New Monopede.
