I'm slowly making my way through your videos. I had a through the knee amputation in Feb. That wasn't working out so I just had a revision above the knee, the end of May. I appreciate your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Hey, I've been a follower since your first video on your leg and thank you for taking us on such an informative journey. Just wanted to drop a comment to say you are amazing and hope you have a great day.
I use my left leg due to a bone infection, my surgery in two days. I have 15 yrs of infections since a motorcycle accident. My mind is ready. You videos are helping me. Thanx.
Nicely done! Christina, I want to thank you for something. Last year, I became an AK amputee. I found your videos shortly after. The one you made years ago about using a stool in the kitchen made me realize my career, im a chef, wasn't over. I've turned it into a technique I use all day at work. I'm in the same restaurant as before! Thank you so much Christina! 💓
I'm a LBK amputee myself. I created my own peg a few years back by jamming the bottom of a crutch into my leg pylon & tightening it in place. I love how lightweight it is plus it helps with balance! 🙃
I have an AK amputation on my left side. I have had it for a little more than a year. This was my first winter with a prosthetic. I definitely feel like I am not getting enough exercise. And I been very interested by the arial arts. How would I get into something like that living in a rural community? I think you are fantastic btw!!!
Awesome video. Told you I’d watch this video (on your Facebook page). This has made me even more confident to give this a try. The only part is trying to find aerial arts classes near me because I live in a small regional Australian town 😉🤣 oh well. Also your peg leg socket looks pretty. I think the glitter adds a nice touch to it.
I'm bka. and have also made a pig leg foe jujitsu. much for the same reasons as you. it weighs so much less than my triton foot it's crazy. it's tempting to use all the time.
I just had flashbacks to the iWalk that I used for about a year before getting my AK in February. the below knee never healed or lost the infection so I hardly wore my half leg. I'm getting an Ottobock C leg, and plan to make that work for everything. lol. I don't want to risk more hip displacement, back spasms, and back pain like the iWalk caused due to walking stiff legged. but I can see how the weight savings will be a help to you in your hobby. good luck.
How about Peggy or Pokey for a name? Kind of cute 🥰 What do you think? Keep up the great attitude and perseverance! I admire you immensely! All the best!
Check out my user name. 🤣 I made a shower leg similar to what you have and found it to be very unstable. So I put a regular foot on it and problem solved. I’m an ex Tool maker so I can make a lot of my own prosthetic parts! Just couldn’t fix that balance problem though. 👍
