  • Come with me to the hospital for surgery on my amputated (residual) limb!
    After months of being on crutches and off of my prosthesis, I'll admit I've been really nervous heading into this surgery and my fingers were crossed they could address all the issues from the screw to the bursas...so how did it go? Come with me today to find out!

    Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.

    Hooray Jo! I'm so glad that you're doing great and that the bursas are OUT THE DOOR!🤟🏻 My amputation is in a week and a half and I'm soooo excited! I'm slowly starting to get things packed and ready to go... Unfortunately we found out that I've developped stones on my gallbladder (most likely caused from stress and alot of painmeds). But I'm okay!!! I'll be having my gallbladder removed after the amputation so hopefully there will be no issues with that! Sending you the warmest of hugs and a smooth recovery!!! You'll be in my thoughts when I undergo my own amputation💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I have CRPS due to an ankle/foot injury 6yrs ago and it’s completely destroyed my foot.Constant pain and haven’t been able,to wear shoes for years -only slippers for a short time since any sensation is excruciating. Amputation is a big possibility for me b/c the pain and necrosis is too much to bear after all this time. Your videos are helpful for me at this stage-I’m hopeful but concerned about what happens after amputation. Please keep the videos coming and thanks again-Wishing u all the best going forward🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙂🙂🙂

    When I was about 11 my stump was not growing straight, so I had to have it straightened. This required 4 separate surgeries! The had to break the bone then put screw in it. I was in a cast for something like 5 months.
    At one point I was in the kitchen on crutches and one of the crutches slipped and I fell hard right on the end of my stump.
    This was, by fat, the most painful thing that has ever happened to me.
    Later, at summer camp I slipped playing on some rocks. My hand slipped into a space between two rocks it didn't stop my fall. I watched as my arm bent sharply between my elbow and wrist. That hurt a lot but not nearly as bad as falling on my stump.
    It has been nearly 30 years since I fall on my stump, but when you mentioned falling on your stump it sent a chill up my spine and made me break out in a cold sweat.
    So glad your surgery went well. With luck you'll be able to hike the Grand Canyon by summer.

    Awww, So sorry you feel like hammered poop. When I had my eye surgeries, (Cataracts both sides and retina fixes both sides), I came straight out of anesthesia, pop-bang I was up. No residuals, nothing. I went from being asleep to being fully awake in .75 seconds. Re-orientation took a bit longer, but I was fully awake to do it very fast. I have no idea if this is normal or not, I've never told anyone about it before. You're the first. Take all the time you need to get better, I will mention you to my Higher Power, (hereafter called HP), and ask you to be wrapped in white healing light for as long as you need it. Get better. Sent with love to you both, George B
