Today I am in the hospital...,tomorrow I go to rehab.. I like forums, and I plan on being active in this one. I have a prosthetic counselor and provider so all set on that. I'm no stranger to problems with my leg. I'm 58 Yrs old and originally broke my left leg when I was 14 Yrs old. Impressed? LOL, don't be π. I am impressed by this forum and I hope I can contribute in some way. First question is.. How can I get an app that will work on my IPhone 6. One that I can access from an icon on my phone screen, and then log in, if nessesary. That's it for now folks.π. Have a good day and night

Hi Robert, I hope you are doing well post-op.
Assuming you have an AppleID set up and working, in the AppStore, Search for an app called "Tapatalk". The icon looks like a orange speach bubble you'd see in comics with a white stylized letter 't' in it.
Install that app on your phone. I am currently at work while I write this out on my PC, and they won't let me download apps here on the wifi network, so I will have to coach you through the remainder in a future post. (Unless any others would like to chime in...)
Hang in there!

Excellent. Glad you got it figured. I was out most of the evening away from wifi last night and wasn't able to log in to do a tutorial.
Keep us updated on your recovery robert.

Healing takes time - go easy.

Hi, Robert...just wanted to say "welcome" and echo Trevor's advice to go easy. I know that can be frustrating, but trying to "push" the recovery too far or fast can set you back even further. If you're covered for the rehab, take full advantage of it...it'll help once you get your prosthetic.

Hiya Robert! Hope you're still doing well. No infections or anything nasty? Hoping you're well on your way to healing...

Surgeon said it looks good, different dressing for healing wounds. Stonecutter are you a jeweler? Just wondering cuz of your name/tag π

Great news. Hopefully they get you upright asap. Not a jeweller - It does have something to do with an extracurricular organization I'm involved with ...

When you get it - just remember to go easy. Takes time to get your body used to walking on one. Give yourself breaks and check your skin out for marks often. Keep us informed!
