How to Change a Prosthetic Leg Sleeve | BK Amputee 

Pro: Feel like Iron Man Con: Have one leg

@@Crew9t hmm... sounds worth it, let me find the saw.

@@un-nown7227 dark joke😅😂

@@Crew9t hey..can I ask you if u feel any kind of discomfort while wearing it?

@@granola1210 No, I mean occasionally I will feel a little bit of pinching or rubbing, but that’s very occasional and usually passes before I even get to the point where I have to adjust anything. The only exception is when I end up with a hole in my outer sleeve, like I showed in this video. But that’s because once there’s a hole I no longer have a proper seal, so I start sliding around inside of my socket.

Awe thank you so much 😊

I just heard it today. Same as the last comment. So glad you're ok. 😊

Awe well you’re welcome. Thank you for the comments 😊

Oh wow that’s awesome. Crazy to think people across the world are listening to my call 😳

@@Crew9t Oh yes, I've read it! All over the world... Have a wonderful life.

That’s only because you got to watch me take my pants off lol. I love you too 😘

@@Crew9t lmao

Yesssss girl. He's cute! 👏 ❤

@@chasechristopher2097 isn’t he?! I’m a lucky lady 😁😁😁❤️

Haha thank you 😊

Awe thank you so much for the support 😊

Glad you found it interesting. No flowers BUT an anniversary gift for he and his wife a few months later.

Thank you so much!

Wow, DBK! You must have some wicked balance! Yeah I’m really abusive on my sleeves because of my job. I’ll go to walk around a stack of pallets too tightly and end up catching the corner of a pallet directly onto the side of my sleeve; put a nice gash in it. Or I’ll snag it on a nail or something. The fact that this one lasted from July until now is actually quite impressive. Then again it’s had a tear in it for about 2 months now and I’ve just been dealing with it. Haha and pineapples are my fiancé’s favorite. She chose the cover.

@@Crew9t whose leg it it anyway?

👍 👍

There are some online amputee stores, but I personally get mine directly from the prosthetists office.

They are off the shelf. There is a little bit more detail than just small medium and large thankfully. They go off of both length and circumference. Off the top of my head I don’t remember my measurements anymore, but I’m pretty sure I’m a medium circumference large length. I may be a medium/ medium though. But if I went up in circumference to make it easier to fit over my socket, then once I got down to the lower portion of the socket which is substantially thinner, it would be all bunchy and would not have a good seal. I learned that the hard way when I thought I would cheat and go up a size just to make it easier to get on, and then had to seriously tape the hell out of it in order to make it work.

Omg 😳 And good, glad it was informative 😊

I 100% agree it is way more work than just having somebody else do it. I mean, obviously lol. Unfortunately I don’t have insurance, but that’s OK though because my tech does it for free and doesn’t charge for that regardless. The only issue is, I don’t always feel like driving 40 minutes to my prosthetist, sitting there for 15 minutes, and then driving 40 minutes back home lol. However I can call them up, have them mail it to me, and then do it myself at home on my own time. At this point though, I actually don’t even buy them from my prosthetist anymore. Now I get them delivered from the amputeestore.com. It’s on AutoShip and I have it delivered every three months because that seems to be about the frequency that I end up needing a new one. But yes, it is definitely easier to have someone else do it lol. If that’s a viable option for anyone, do that. This video is more for the people who don’t have that option, or who just have them mailed directly to their house because of time/ location constraints.

Thanks 😊 You too!

@@Crew9t thank u :D

Оу, спасибо большое. ты слишком милый.
