Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Obtain a permanent prosthesis once your residual limb has stabilized. Put together a schedule for wearing your prosthesis. Go through gait training to feel comfortable wearing your prosthesis. Wear socks and wiggle the limb hourly to ensure that the prosthesis fits.

Answer: It can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months for your residual limb to stabilize in size and shape. You'll need to continue using a temporary prosthesis until the limb is stable. Once your doctor decides that the limb is stable, they'll measure the residual limb and order the prosthesis for you. Your doctor will most likely ask you to come in for monthly or bi-monthly appointments before this point, so they can inspect the residual limb and monitor its progress. Once you've received your permanent prosthesis, you'll need to transition from wearing a temporary prosthesis much of the time to wearing your custom-made one. Your prosthetist can help you make a schedule that details how long you'll wear your prosthesis on a daily basis. For example, maybe you'll only wear the prosthesis for 34 hours a day for the first 2 weeks. Over the course of the next 23 months, you'll gradually increase the number of hours you wear the limb until you're finally wearing it 16 hours a day. As you wear your prosthesis for longer and longer durations of time, you'll also be able to increase the amount of activity that you can do while you wear it. Gait training is the training process that your prosthetist will guide you through so that you can comfortably walk and move in your prosthesis. You'll likely start by supporting your weight with parallel bars or a cane, and then progress towards walking on your own. Your doctor or prosthetist may also recommend that you see a physical therapist to rebuild muscle tone in the amputated limb and to keep the residual limb flexible. Check the fit of your customized prosthesis every hour during the first month. After walking and standing in the prosthesis for 1 hour, reach down and wiggle the prosthesis on your limb. It shouldn't move and you should feel no discomfort at any point when you're wearing the new prosthesis. To increase your comfort while you're wearing the prosthesis, try adding or subtracting layers of prosthesis-covering socks. These socks should be worn over your stump and under the silicone liner. Your doctor or prosthetist can give you specialized socks, or you can purchase them at a medical supply store. Use the exercise program provided by your doctor to strengthen your muscles and gain flexibility. Strength and flexibility will allow you to do more whether you have your prosthetic limb on or not.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Clean the shell if you picked it up off the beach. Lay the shell down with the inside facing up and mark the hole location. Push a thumbtack into the hole and gently twist. Remove the tack and blow away any dust to clear the hole. Reinsert the thumbtack and continue twisting if you want the hole to be bigger.

Answer: If you got your shell from the beach, it might carry germs and bacteria that you'll want to get rid of before you start drilling. Set a small pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Place the shell in the water and let it boil for 5-6 minutes to kill off any bacteria. Then, turn off the stove, lift the shell out with a spoon, and let it cool on the counter for 5-10 minutes. If you bought the shell at a store, you don't have to boil it. When you're ready to start drilling, place the shell down on a flat surface with its inside (the concave curve of the shell) facing up. Decide where on the shell you want to make your hole, then use a pencil to mark it with a small dot.. The location choose typically depends on what you'll be using the shell for. Shells used for jewelry, for example, are often strung near the top or base, but you may also choose to drill through the middle depending on your design. The shell may be thicker near the base than it is at the top. This might make it harder to drill through, but will also lessen your chances of cracking the shell. You may want to place down a few layers of newspaper or an old placemat, as you might push through and puncture the surface under the shell. Exert a gentle but firm downward pressure as you twist the point of your thumbtack into the shell. Hold the shell firmly with your other hand to keep it still. Continue twisting and pressing down until you hear a slight pop and the thumbtack pushes through the other side. Thumbtacks are a good choice for smaller shells because they're sharp, but not so powerful that they'll break through the shell and crack it. You can also use a needle to make your hole. Pull out the thumbtack gently, twisting it slightly if it's sticking, then blow on it lightly to clean it. If the shell is very dusty, you can also rinse it in some water. The hole you make with the thumbtack will be quite small, good for thin string or a jump ring if you're making jewelry. If you're using a thicker string or chain, insert your thumbtack again and twist it more forcefully to make the hole bigger. You can also drill a second hole right next to the first one for a wider opening.
