She sounds like she's really doing well so far
I said this to another new amputee Mum recently - they do loose a bit of themselves with this surgery (maybe a bit of the old character or maybe the old way of walking) ...but they grow new, extra fabulous things instead and these things more than make up for the old bits which have gone
The other shoe thing. Well. I'd prepare yourself for YOU feeling somewhat down over the next few days or so. But then you'll be back again and ready to move forward, along with Jamaica
Edit - she will run Really, she'll run as she may well find that easier than actually walking.
