Someone somewhere in Great Britain came here within the last day or so looking for Bob Emerson, my prosthetist. In case that person wanders back, or in case someone else wants to know, I recently discovered quite by accident that Bob is no longer working with Next Step in New Hampshire. I am informed that he has joined with some other folks to start a new business in North Andover, Massachusetts, Lifestyle Prosthetics and Orthotics. Lifestyle's website is still under construction, but you can click here to obtain further contact information.
Good luck, Bob! If this tank you built me ever breaks, or if my shape ever does change like it was expected to but never really has since our last socket fitting, I'll be calling you myself. Meanwhile, best wishes on your new endeavor.
this tank you built me
Does it come with at least a howitzer?

No way would United HealthCare have covered that! Damn crappy insurance! heh heh
As befitting my generation, though, I do have a flower embroidered on material laminated into the socket frame. (Just for the record, Bob did not do the embroidery. I did. He arranged the lamination.) And there are the Jesus toes. So who needs guns?
It's a love tank, baby.
