Hi Deborah,
  I'm no where close to being capable of advising on prosthetics, yet
three questions/ideas come to mind. 1.Was your dad ever in the service?
If he is a veteran with a Honorable Discharge he is entitled to utilize
the veteran administration medical centers. I'm a vet and see lots of
older men getting prosthetic devices.2.Does you dad have diabetes. It's
quite common to have similar ulcer sores attributed to diabetes.
Finally,
your dad <and I> need to lose weight. If your disabled, your problems
increase proportionately to how overweight you are. Please accept my 
comments with the "hope to be costructive" sincerity I intend. Good
luck
resolving these concerns for you dad.
