Ch2
As the days passed, Sam continued her recovery process in the hospital. Eventually, the time came when the doctors deemed her stable enough to be discharged.
Sam left the hospital in a wheelchair, her resilient spirit now confined to a body that didn't respond as it did before. It was a new and unknown world for her, but she was determined to face it with courage.
With Jack's unwavering support, Sam returned home. Together, they made modifications to make the house more accessible and comfortable for her. Although there were moments of frustration and adaptation, Sam held onto hope and her determination to move forward.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Over time, Sam began to find a new balance in her life. She learned to perform everyday activities differently, discovered new passions, and found a renewed sense of purpose. While there were still moments of sadness and nostalgia, there were also moments of joy and gratitude for the small victories she achieved each day.
Finally, the day arrived when they went to a specialized prosthetics center. Upon entering the center, they were greeted by a team that guided them through the process of selecting and fitting the prosthetics. There was a wide range of options available, from mechanical legs to the most advanced bionic prosthetic technologies.
Sam felt overwhelmed by so many possibilities, but also excited about the opportunities that lay ahead. The specialists took the necessary time to listen to her needs and expectations, ensuring they found the prosthetics that best suited her lifestyle.
Once the prosthetics were selected, precise measurements and adjustments began to ensure a perfect fit. The specialists worked carefully, making sure every detail was taken into account to provide maximum comfort and functionality for Sam.
Sam sat in a comfortable chair as they prepared the necessary materials to take molds of her legs. The room was filled with a calm and professional atmosphere, but Sam could feel her heart beating with excitement and anticipation.
With care, the specialists wrapped Sam's legs with special bandages, creating a base for the molds. Then, they began applying a soft, moldable material around her legs, making sure to cover every detail. Sam remained still, allowing the process to be carried out with precision.
When the molds were finally completed, the specialists carefully removed them, ensuring no discomfort was caused. Now, those molds would become the basis for creating Sam's custom-made prosthetics.
Throughout the process, Jack stood by her side, providing moral support and words of encouragement. He made sure Sam felt supported at every step, constantly reminding her that this new stage didn't mean limitations but rather an opportunity to grow and face new challenges.
After weeks of waiting, the long-awaited moment finally arrived—Sam's new prosthetics were ready. Excited and somewhat nervous, Sam found herself in the specialized prosthetics center waiting room, ready to learn how to use them.
A specialist approached her with a reassuring smile. "Hello, Sam, today is an important day. I will guide you through the process of putting on the prosthetics, and then you'll be able to take your first steps," he kindly said.
Sam sat in a chair as the specialist showed the prosthetics in front of her. With detailed instructions, he indicated the steps to follow. Sam paid attention, eager to learn how do it correctly.
"Sam, the first thing you need to do is sit in a chair and place the prosthetics in front of you," the specialist began. "Make sure the components are oriented correctly and that the closures are open. This way, you can slide your legs into them without any issues." Sam nodded, paying attention to every word and trying to control her nerves.
"Now, slide your legs into the prosthetics and make sure they're in the correct position," the specialist continued. "Remember to feel comfortable and secure. If something doesn't feel right, don't hesitate to let us know so that we can make the necessary adjustments."
Following the specialist's instructions, Sam carefully started putting on the prosthetics, ensuring that everything was as had instructed.
Once the prosthetics were in place, the specialist handed her a pair of crutches and instructed Sam to try standing up to see how she felt and if any additional adjustments were needed.
Sam leaned on the crutches and, with determination, stood up. It was a moment filled with excitement and gratitude. She felt different but also empowered by the possibility of walking again.
The specialits instructed Sam to sit back in her wheelchair and approach the parallel bars to take her first steps. With determination in her eyes, Sam followed the instructions and positioned herself in front of the bars.
Once she reached the bars, the specialist helped her stand up again and gave her directions. "Hold onto the bars tightly and let them provide stability as you get use to sensation of walking with the prosthetics."
The specialist positioned themselves next to her, ready to offer assistance if needed. "Now, Sam, you have to start by moving one leg forward, letting the prosthetic bear the weight of the step. Then, repeat the process with the other leg," the specialist explained.
Sam followed the instructions, gripping the bars with determination. She felt the firmness of the bars under her hands, providing the necessary security to begin taking her first steps.
