- Hi Friends!
Look at me uploading videos two weeks in a row. This is unheard of for me.
But here is the long awaited (if you think a week is long) video of the next steps of making a prosthetic leg. I had my leg casted last week and they made me a check socket. Check sockets are a great way to find out what fits and what doesn't and make appropriate adjustments. The cost of making a check socket is very low, so we can make multiple without issue. Once we fabricate into carbon fiber is when it starts to get a little costly.
Anyways, there was a slight...hiccup in this first check socket. So that's why this is a two day video.
Thankful for all of you for the support and encouragement. I will continue to make videos. Sometimes I get in a mood and don't feel like making a video, but I really am trying my hardest.
Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, or happy winter - whichever salutation you prefer :)
This is the best video presentation of the process I have ever seen. I have sent it to all my friends that are curious about what we go through. Thank you so much Annika! This is just the best! Stay strong and push on... always forward!!
As always, thank you for sharing; it's cool seeing this whole process.
If I could go back 35 years in time and consider a different career path, and knowing what I know now, I would seriously consider becoming orthotists or prosthetist. Or both if that was a thing.
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, as your go through this process. I knew there was a lot to getting a good fit, but nice to see you and your Prost having a good relationship and communication.
As I 'm watching, I thought that the closest experience, that we with above average limbs, could get to this, is when getting a large filling, and the slow grinding down, then bite paper, and the Dentist, asking "how's that feel?"
I usually have to go back to adjust a high spot, as I'm bad at describing what's going on in my mouth...especially when it's all frozen up. More grinding! (I think my record is 3 return visits for one filling.)
Love your channel Annika and your energy. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us.
Thank you for sharing. This has shown me so many things about what I need to ask at my prosthesis appointments. Best of luck with your new leg. I am also working through my test socket.
I am glad u are making sure the prosthetic leg fits good, because u sure don’t want to have any pains after the finish the whole thing!!!! Happy Holidays!!!!!!🙏☀️🎄🌲🙏☀️🎄🌲🙏
So... the "Broke a leg" happend in this stage... HEHEHEHE
Once happend to me in school (30 years ago... also being teenager was not helping HAHAHAHA). It actually break in half... Not funny, but very educational for me and my technician.

Good evening Annika Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Good video. Happy holidays, Annika
Dance moves 10 out of 10. New prosthetic looks super cool, hopefully it treats you well, during the trial. And your vlog is actually educating me. Thank you 🔥👍👌👌
You have such lovely freckles! Thank you for letting us see them!
"I thought it was funny, the medical professional didn't"
😂 Mood, that's my view on IVs. I've had some weird failures and as long as it's not incompetence I don't care. You just infiltrated my vein? Cool, enjoy getting to actually see the blood scatter because I'm really pale (not as in "I'm about to pass out" pale, that's just my normal complexion) and then go get a new set.
وانامبتور الطرف من تحت الركبه بس الحمدالله على كل حال المورطيبه
Хвалёное "американское качество"... Но синяя советская изолента победила проблему!)
