RBKA 8/23. Got prosthetic 6/24. I am able to walk with the aid of a walker. I just feel like its taking too long... i tend to focus on things i still can't do or that take longer to do. Fighting depression 😢 Trying to stay positive but its so hard...
Не больно опираться на культю? Кость ведь давит на мышцы..
i drive 3 years every day 40 to 50 km with prosthetic leg

My husband is having BKA tomorrow - I am definitely scared. I did watch your video - thank you! Could you tell me where you got that shark to go on your limb?
Cool
Tôi yêu em nhiều lắm 🇻🇳🇻🇳🏝️🇻🇳🏝️🇻🇳
Phantom pain to me feels like lightning in my ankle and being stabbed by thousands of knives 🔪
Hello, I am a recent amputee. Thank you for all your videos. What is the brand of the wheelchair?
Wow, you are amazing and beautiful. Not sure if you can divulge how much that costs or how anyone can get one, like do any insurance companies pay for that foot in any case. I am a below knee amputee and I don't have a foot that can be removed r I am not given that option yet, I guess. Does the foot for heel only work with certain types of legs? Let me know if you can, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. By the way, I love your content!
I don't get it either. I suppose, like you said, that if you laugh or make a video that is funny means you or someone laughing at you would go to hell, which is ridiculous. Not only that, but I had a similar situation when a dear friend of mine got angry at me for sending him a picture of me doing a happy dance/pose the day I got to take my prosthetic home saying that I shouldn't make a joke about my amputation and that I should think about the fact that some people don't deal with it lightly. I ultimately blocked him, unfortunately because that type of attitude is not healthy for me. What, am I supposed to be depressed or lament the situation. Not a chance, I look at this as the 110% improvement if the quality of my life. I will not, not be myself and also be happy and grateful, not being who I was for 8 years prior to my amputation. I had 4 compound fractures on my tib/fib, and I was in constant pain, went through so many surgeries and so much therapy and so much depression. Furthermore, I was never able to fully heal and finally now I have my life back. In addition, I'm 6 months post op, have had my prosthesis for about 3 months and already doing handstands and cartwheels, please check out my channel if you like, it would an honor. I binge-watch your videos and have learned a lot from you and from others like Footless Jo and Annika etc. and from all this I have gained so much knowledge and so much confidence and will continue to learn and study and get inspiration from you guys. Thanks so much for all that you do. God bless you!
Well made so it`s more better
I'm a new below the knee amputee so this helps.
Below knee is an amputation of the foot, still have a knee and hip.
I've been wearing a A/K prosthetic leg for 55 years. My first was wood made with wood pulling tools. It was a total contact suction socket. Gain or lose a few pounds with a total contact socket can rub up a monster blister shortly. Now I wear a molded socket with a liner, vacuum pump and a computer controlled knee unit. The best shoe I've found is made by SAS and works great with the computerized knee. I've only been able to run once and that was when police were kicking in the front door and I ran out the back door. Good luck finding a great Prosthesist. I use Mississippi Othotics in Tupelo, Ms.
Late commentator here who used to watch your videos once upon a time until I started commenting on RUclips in general for a few months. I work in a grocery store where one of my duties is to retrieve the carts which includes those rechargeable riders. It is annoying that there are some people who do return them but never properly park them nor plug them in. When I do come across one or a few out in the parking lot or on the sidewalk where the battery does die out, it's extremely difficult to lug back. The only time I personally used one for my own shopping on days-off was when I sprained an ankle: I probably stepped off the sidewalk wrong one shift collecting regular carts. Took about a month to recover although no brace nor boot. So I was assigned kind of as a greeter at an entrance for the time being. All from before Thanksgiving to before Christmas.
Good to hear a real/truthful summary.
I have a left bka and understand exactly!!
How much kneeartifishal
Thanks for giving the information I am a year into the prosthetic learning. It's difficult to self educate when you don't know what all the questions are.
`Thank you for sharing
Can I as does the ankle bend as much in high heels shoes as ygry do in flats
55 staples?!?😵💫😱
Be carefull using anything on the back of the chair. If they are loaded just a bit one can push like they normally do but due to the extra weight, the chair can start to flip over backwatds. Dont ask me how i know.
12 lbs
were did you get your information from. They do charge the insurance company for each visit, at 15 minute incruments. When you the knee and foot the insurance company is charged for each component .
as a all pro user, i totally agreed with you. Its is a amazing foot.
Thank you.l have been a double amputee for 20 plus years.l was panicking!!!This technique was Soo easy .. A lifesaver!!! l wish l had been taught this along timeago Thank you .
Crossing your legs can add to high blood pressure
I know this is old, but for anyone seeing this now I suggest shower shoes. They can help with a number of leg and balance issues, not to mention just basic safety for everyone.
You are young, skinny & strong. Best wishes walking.
I'm a fellow amputee and I'd love to actually work in the field one day and have actually helped in the making of a test socket for my BKA but mine is the right side. I watched a lot of your videos in 2018 when I first lost my foot and I share ur videos to others that have questions about the whole process
Nice, I'm a ak, love to ride. Your awesome
ABR changed my life!
You seemed to have a longer stump before; why did you have another amputation??
I'm a new amputee BK LL, go for my first Amputee physio today, so I subbed in support of you, Spider bite in Thailand, set up Neratitis in my foot and ended up losing my leg,
Hi iam below the knee amputatee
How much cost is it ?
I have had a lower leg amputation but after 3 months of rehab( 2 sessions a week) I can hop between parallel bars whilst holding on. I seem to lack strength to balance. I am considering an iwalk crutch in the short term. The consultant says I am not a suitable candidate for a prosthetic. Can you suggest a way forward for me to balance and hop without support
Although it's been 11 years since this video was posted, the timing on it, for me, is just perfect. I'm scheduled to get my new test prosthesis tomorrow morning and I'm really quite excited and a bit nervous. I haven't walked in four months, and my balance has never been great. I'm hoping that 60 years of prior history helps me at least a little. 🙂
I seen people with prothestic leg
Thanks!😂❤
Wao you are so beautiful ❤
I bet it smells good.
I am not comfortable with prosthetic leg. Because my stump position was not properly maked
My age is 34 and I am from pakistan.i injured in accident
I am really so much disturb after below knee amputation 😭😭😭😭
Nice video. I'm undergoing some diabetic amputation...half my foot? Below knee? I'm 65, and your video gives me some Hope! Thank you.
Who made that one with plastic instead of all aluminum?
Does any part of the lip of the socket has pressure
