I never thought, I had forgotten how to walk in the 1stplace.. my best walking position, is when I walk like Gene wilder and richard Pryor on the movie stir crazy.."we bad"..ha..not funny,but I can bend.my knee and heel and toe...walking is supposed to so natural and now I have to think about it...smh..At 7 weeks i played golf..I played 9 full holes, 2 pars and 2 bogeys..4 holes I played a best ball, because i was getting fatigued, 5 holes I sat out or just putted...it felt good, as I get tired peg leg gets worse...I have to get to and stay at zero extension for start...as you said practice practice ,practice im worried, I won't have a natural gait

Maybe you can try to find a rehabilitation therapist, one who works with people after accidents, strokes and similar trauma. Ask for and evaluation and gait training. That was what I needed when I couldn't stop limping after multiple hip surgeries. Otherwise you risk increasing hip and back pain in addition to you limp.
It helps that you have a sense of humor about it, but you can fix it! My friend is one year past a traumatic hip fracture and replacement. She still limps when she gets really tired.
