  • How I get around without my legs in the bathroom. I can't stand on my stumps because they are different lengths.

    Thank you for this demonstration and explanatio, OC. You make it all so clear and sound so simple/everyday : I can only admire your pluck and determination. Incidentally, you must have strong arms by now! Bravo!

    Wow you made that look so fluidly easy! I lost my legs 3 years ago and I’m unable to do that. I need my wheelchair and I have blocks like steps for me to get to the floor to weigh myself.

      Did you become an amputee by accident or illness / infection ? Are you able to walk on stubbies or other prostheses ? Wheelchairs are sometimes difficult and sometimes uncomfortable to be used.

      J'ai connu le cas d'une dame belge qui, paralysée des deux jambes suite à un accident, s'est fait amputer au niveau des hanches ... Radical, mais depuis lors (environ 20 ans), elle vit très bien son état, sans aucun regret !

    What happened to your legs : accident, infection, disease, ... ? I do not understand why surgeons, in their majority, do not amputate both legs at the same length - this is much more comfortable and easy for the amputee ...

      Car accident then infection. My limbs are different lengths because of the infection.
