HI,  I'm a Left BK amputee looking for info on the new FLEX FOOT
artifial limb and some hints on how I can get my insurance Co to OK
the purchase of such an advanced limb rather that them OK'ing a
regualr ole' run of the mill PTB with a regualr foot and
suspension. I'm 31 and don't want my kids to be able to catch me
when running at the park and also would like to join a softball
team and be able to run my ass off around the bases.   Anyone out
there got some suggestions??  Thanks...
JTS
