Today we worked all day seeing more patients and completing as much fabrication as we possibly could in order to make sure we have everything completed before wrapping things up tomorrow. Today we took a few more castings of patient's limbs for new prostheses. Since we are limited on both time and supplies, we will be doing a lot of the fabrication of the new prostheses when we get back to Gainesville and then ship them back to Frankel who will fit them to the patients and help them with gait training and follow up care. By the end of the day we were all pretty exhausted and unwound back at the guesthouse.
