The long road back to the track

I already had started practicing running before the accident.
Actually, I was on my way to meet a coach when the accident occurred. I was only 13 and was not fully aware of what it meant to lose a lower leg. I still remember the first few questions I asked my father were "Can I wear skirt? Can I run again?" You know, girls care about beauty, and I always loved sports.
My father said it would be no problem as the technology develops. But none of us had any idea what the prosthesis would be like in 20 years. It was just far beyond our imagination.
