DENVER (CBS4) – A Denver surgeon has teamed up with college students to improve the lives of amputees. They are designing a permanent artificial leg.

CBS4 Health Specialist Kathy Walsh was in the lab on Wednesday as they started the process. The team is working to come up with a permanent post in the leg that amputees could use to connect a prosthesis.

Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeremy Guthrie* tweeted to find somebody for a game of catch at Coors Field. He connected with his Twitter follower Woody Roseland, and the pair played catch.

Every once in awhile we have an opportunity to meet someone who awes us- with their courage, humility, strength and wisdom. Woody Roseland is one of those people. In the past five years, since he was a senior in high school, Woody has survived cancer 5 times and has had his left calf amputated. I have the privilege of spending three days this week with Woody at Lifebound's Academic Coaches' Training in Denver.

I wake up to the taste of blood in my mouth... again. After lung surgery, waking up is usually the worst part of the day. You've gone 5-6 hours without painkillers, the warm glow brought to you by the good folks at Pfizer has been replaced by the harsh brightness of the sun streaking through your curtains and the dull ache in your ribs.

You may remember a previous Boing Boing post about Woody Roseland — specifically, about his spectacular "Shit Cancer Patients Say" video.

Man. I loved that video, and I love Woody. I've followed him on twitter throughout my own cancer treatment. He inspires me and makes me laugh.

Here's a video of Woody speaking at TEDxMileHigh about his life with Cancer.

... I'll be sedated, sliced, and somewhat saved.

But let's back up, I'm writing to you on Wednesday Nov. 14 as I sit at gate D18 at Washington-Dulles International Airport. I'm currently enjoying my two-hour layover on my way from Denver to Columbus, Ohio.
