That's a C-Leg! My best friend had his leg removed from the hip down last October and I researched these legs for him when he was in the hospital. He ended up getting this one. He's still learning how to walk on it. It will probably take another couple years to get it right.

Hi Ed - What a nice article and it's so good to read about you. Haven't
seen you in awhile and hope you are doing well. I'm looking at getting a new computer, so you've been in my head a lot. Don't know who I'll get
to help me.
I bet your kids are really grown up now. Your daughter was sooo pretty last timeI saw her, and I bet she's a knock out now.
Ed and I send you our best wishes for a wonderful Christmas. Love,
Agnes
