- Life can throw some major curveballs. Living life with a prosthetic leg can be challenging. 1 year after amputation i was just figuring out what this new normal was. 2 years after amputation, i was getting comfortable. 3 years after amputation i was feeling so good that i got too confident and hurt myself.

Nice to meet you! Best of luck on your journey. Do you have a prosthesis?
I also had a below the Knee amputation. On May 28th 2024. I am diabetic so my wound is healing slowly
@@carolinegumboh2536 best of luck to you!
@@ElectiveAmputationI just got my new socket (#2) today i'm also in the process of healing from a sore that I got on my stump. Basically I was bottoming out an my prothetist kept trying to cushion it. Finally, my doctor called him and said.Look, whatever you're doing is just patchwork this is not working, so I got fitted for a completely new one. 🙏👉🦿
@@ElectiveAmputationyour book is a great help an answeribg lots of questions. Thanks Kerri
Hi

Been a amputee for 2⅓ years. Got my prosthetic leg 13 months. Patients all that works.
Take Care Stay Safe 😊
Absolutely! Hope you are doing well!
My name Jessie I'm in my second year of being an amputee below the knees
Your microphone needs some adjusting. The into sound is fine but when you talk I have to turn the volume way up. Otherwise it’s a great video!
I agree. My audio was horrible this time. Apologies
Went to the mediertain last fall took 2nd place in the sexy leg contast. Leave in dec for madagascar. I am enjoying traveling. Ii is hard to believe my leg was removed 9 yrs ago.
I’m so glad to hear from you!! I love that you are going on these adventures! Congratulations!
@@ElectiveAmputation got two more planned one to tahati and the othe to melburne and the great barrier reef. Also leave next month for amish country.
Hope you have some advemtures planned. Have not rode the motorcycle lately way to hot.
@@jongrubbs7148 this is my dream!!!!
Fyi the prosthetic company took one of my legs and made it a water leg. Which means wear that leg to the water and i can get onto tje water with it.
Can you explain what makes it waterproof please? Is it a sleeve or a totally different prosthesis?
@@ElectiveAmputation the foot has holes in to drain water out. Also just rinse it off especially if your in salt water
@@jongrubbs7148 awesome! Thank you!
July 9th was my first year anniversary of amputation. This is my first summer with my prosthesis. In February with the test socket that was a pinlock system, I shrunk so much that when I was weedeating my leg almost slipped out of the sleeve. One of the reasons I got the pinlock system was so that wouldn't happen, but it did. It hurt like hell too. On two other occasions I took off the sleeve to have a pint of sweat pour out of it (gross). I also get sores and try correcting the situation with my prothesist, but falls on deaf ears. I think I need another prothesist.
