I went for coffee with my friend to a local coffee house. The seats
they have there are wooden and low. After a few minutes of sitting I
had the sharp stabbing pain that happens when my prosthesis slips. IN
the end I was not able to get up. The manager had to come and help,
but I could not weight bear for a few minutes so one of the patrons
came and helped me walk out.

This is  painful as well as stressful for me. The whole time I sat
there, I wondered what I would have to do to get up.

I know that my surgeon considers me to be too "high functioning" and
that my revision will mean major reconstruction, but I don't know if I
can tolerate this happening with frequency either.

Sop far it has happened at really inopportune times, such as at
parent-teacher interviews, or at a staff meeting.

It is demoralizing for me, and very traumatic.

Sorry, but I will tell you here. I will not talk about this to anyone
else.
