I appreciate your comments and your situation certainly puts into perspective my situation! However, a big concern I have is someone will think I'm a terrorist (that's my fear) when I'm simply trying to get comfortable. A prosthetic leg is pretty big, there are socks and liners to remove, and invariably, metal clicking sounds that certainly could cause some to panic!
