Been riding with you since the old days of when you were a BKA😎 still getting used to as an AK but great to see your positive energy is still way up!

Lol....loved the getting on top of the car!!! Can't let my mom see that or she'll be trying it. Thank you so much for posting!! Realizing mini van with ramps isn't only option.

I'm jealous as hell of your positivity, and your great personal grounding. I'm new at this, left leg below knee amputee, and Charcot Foot on my right, which will likely be amputated soon, it's very deformed. I'm watching, taking notes, and trying what I can to follow you well. Thank you for what you do, I appreciate you greatly.

Getting my prosthetis leg was really beneficial in getting in and out of my truck. I didn't even try it before I had my prosthesis and confined to a wheelchair. Back then I had help getting in a vehicle and stowing my heavy wheelchair.

Not an amputee, but I tend to load my chair into the backseat, with the footplate hooked over the rear headrest to keep my bag accessible. I actually miss my manual seats instead of the power recline for this, just because leaning the seat takes so long to lean back/forward now each time I want to load in and out.

@19irving 3 года назад

The key is to not stop moving and not get fat. I am 57 and do those things all the time. I am too short to reach some of my kitchen cabinets, so I just climb up onto the counter. If you practice sitting on the floor and getting up without using your hands it can help.

I'm a new below the knee amputee so this helps.

@paullasmith4975 3 года назад

I've learned to be careful and know my limitations. My fake leg works fine. My good leg is still healing. I'm working slow but sure on building up my strength. Along with this comes confidence. In the mean time, I try to stay off the roof of my car. It's my intention to learn to ride a unicycle though. I'm pretty sure it would help a lot with my balance. In time.

What brand are your forearm crutches. I'm having problems finding ones with the strap that keeps them from falling off my arms.

@theDanielTruth 3 года назад

Hi there, just a quick question on your comment "your'e not supposed to hop as an amputee". Is it mostly about the danger of falling or is there another reason for saying it? I'm a recent trauma RTKA myself and am just at the point where I'm starting to hop around in the house now that all the bandages are off.

@AmputeeOT 3 года назад

It's the danger of falling and uneccesary impact to your remaining joints.

Do you have tattoos on your residual limb or is that some kind of slev? I'm just curious. I'm also an amputee but mine is bka and I've been thinking about getting a tattoo on mine also.

@AmputeeOT 3 года назад

I have tattoos! You can get them as an amputee no problem if you have no health conditions that affect healing

@themightyparthos 3 года назад

Putting the chair in the passenger seat can be dangerous as well if the chair is not secured as flying bits of metal may hurt.

@dancingpianofairy 3 года назад

Why are amputees not supposed to hop? Any more than us with all our full limbs?

@AmputeeOT 3 года назад

Because it adds unnecessary stress to our remaining limb. If we are hopping and twist an ankle, that’s the only organic ankle we’ve got. Years of hopping can cause premature wear to joints, resulting in arthritis.

How can crutches be more awkward being put on your car than a wheelchair? Nice crutches by the way. Do you have any hip disarticulate videos? Love the nylons.
