    I was weird in public on purpose/for fun a lot as a teenager, and I think it really helped when I started using a wheelchair. A lot of people describe feeling incredibly self-conscious in their chairs, which is not something I've really experienced. So I think there's something to be said for being weird in public.

    You need to take up method acting. That's where you basically **become** the character that you're playing. So no more Stephanina the UA-camr who is embarrassed when she films a pirate segment at the local gym. Instead, you are Pegleg the Swashbuckler, seeking to steal treasure from the unsuspecting locals at a nearby sports center! It is my understanding that what made William Shatner so believable as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek series is that when he was onscreen then he literally became Captain Kirk in his own mind. So this is your opportunity to show off your acting skills. Stop worrying about what others think of you and instead go show all those weak-minded and poorly dressed people in shorts and sweat pants that they are no match for the feared one-legger with a camera! 🤣

    I will add as well if you have limb sensitivity issues there are “socket-less” options that offer more adjustability or can eliminate the need for a liner. My prosthetic uses socks instead of a liner and I would consider the Martian Bionics socket-less products as well.

    • @StephaninasAmputeeAdventures

      @StephaninasAmputeeAdventures I can believe it. However, you're good at qualifying that it is your own experience, but then explaining why you have the opinions you do. Then, people can understand the details of the pros and cons while still recognizing that it may not be that way for every case.

  • @CinkSVideo
    @CinkSVideo 16 днів тому

    I would add that the foot you try can affect how well you walk. The first one I tried was too stiff and I had to really work to flex it and get the energy return. The next one was great and I walked right away without difficulty. The suction system was great when I had a really snug fit. Steady and great control. Ah…then sweat. The pistoning was significant when the liner got sweaty. The other disadvantage of the suction system is that the sleeve comes farther up your leg which makes some pants difficult to wear. You might have to pull your pants down to access everything. I’ve heard this is frowned upon in public spaces. The osseointegration is definitely the fastest to put on and off. A quick snap and then twist of the connector and go. And it goes on in the correct position every time.

    • @StephaninasAmputeeAdventures
      @StephaninasAmputeeAdventures 11 днів тому

      Indeed- public de-panting is frowned upon in polite society. I'm not sure how far up my vacuum sleeve and liner went up compared to your suction leg, but it was definitely higher up than my pin lock leg. I really appreciated it when I went back to pin lock and didn't have the sleeve anymore. The osseointegration sounds like it's working out really well.
