Committed to walking in every way you can imagine
The story of prosthetic I wear is based on necessity. I was told to stop wearing a prosthetic leg because I was going to break the femur bone left on the left side of my body, as my leg was amputated while I rode a motorcycle in 1974.
By 1996 my use of prosthetic legs was coming to a punishing finish because my bone infected stump couldn't take the wear and tear of prosthetics.
I read a story in a daily newspaper's once a week Science Digest, about a study of the human leg in motion.
They said it resembles a pogo stick, so I bought one, put it on, and haven't stopped walking since 1999.
(Well I actually engineered a prosthetic leg version and tried it on a few people, and they all liked it.)
