I just got casted last week 😘 I'm just as excited to see you take your first steps as an AKA, as well as my own when that happens. Your videos have been such a HUGE help to so many!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us 😊
I've recently subscribed to your channel and watched a lot of your EDS videos. I'm super inspired by all your content. I myself have hypermobility EDS (type 3) plus fibromyalgia. I'm not an amputee, but I still really enjoy watching your content. Just from watching yourself and a few other inspirational channels, I've decided to set up my own, vlogging channel to inspire others and hopefully help them with EDS hypermobility. Your truly an awesome person 😀
Good job using your crutches, I could not use the crutches as well as you I was always falling. I have a BKA so I have a prosthetic leg now which I am very thankful for.
Great videos, I have just met a lovely lady who is an amputee, and these videos are great. I can get all the information I need without having to ask her. I want to understand as much as I can. Thank you
when i see a person going up and down stairs using their but, im thinking hero. because we tend to overlook people like this who add value to our lives ( producing videos), while we can clearly see it is being authentically done for others. after all, at the end of the day, life is about selfless ( no egoic) service to life
Great post Christina 👌🏻 I do a mixture of all of those. Trust me when you get your prosthetic going up steps step over step is a full on workout 🥵 going down stairs step over step is freaky it’s kinda like semi controlled free falling, which is just how it feels walking down steep slopes 🤣😂🤣 it’s sometime easier to go down slopes sideways 🦀 So great to see that you’re kicking ass out of your rehab 🦸🏻♀️🤗🦿🤗
I LOVE those crutch tips!!! Ergocaps were a game changer for me. I am a long time crutch user and actually looking forward to being a crutch user after my hip disarticulation. Are those ergobaums? By the way, my favorite way of going down the stairs if there is a lawn, would be to roll down the hill.
I was out of the hospital 6 days after my AKA. I couldn't hop up the stairs without feeling that the clips were gonna bust open. One by one had to go up sitting down. After a week I was hoping up and down.
you make it look so easy. i feel so unstable on crutches. any tips on how to get over that feeling. i am 39, lost my left foot to Charcot Arthropathy last November and i am still waiting on my prosthesis. i have been stuck in my chair and have gained some weight due to lack of exercise and this is getting old. i just want some independence from the chair
I was hoping for a railing slide. I have a knee that doesn’t work right and often end up using a handrail like a crutch and just pretend that leg isn’t there rather than let it get in the way,
i dint go outdoor yet just inside the house .soon i will go out still and do the rolling the you made i smile at that part and i want to do it too rolling in the ground..
Wow i literally just received the same design of crutches as the one your using and i walked 5 steps with them and already put bavk in box to return to amazon because i just dont feel they are sturdy enough for me i feel like they are going to fall off my hands idk they just feel different im used to the more common crutches now ive only bin an amputee just 30 days today surgery was march 4th i have healed well and im just trying to find what crutches work best for me im 5,10 tall 220 pounds maybe i need a bit more practice and getting used to using these type of crutches isk maybe ill take them out the box and give them a second chance after seeing how easy you made it look i will sub and give a like and god bless
Even though I was using crutches prior to amputation, and I was SUPPOSED to be non-weight bearing on my bad foot, if I lost my balance that foot would shoot out to catch me. Yesterday in PT it happened, and my stump went out in front, but nothing there
I lost my leg last November 2019. I should have had a fake leg by now but I'm afraid to get one because I'm afraid of infection. And my doctor did a really bad job and I have a big scar still because my doctor left the stitches in for 2 months and 3 weeks. I'm not really missing having a leg I'm afraid to get one. But I did order one and if it starts breaking down I will not use my fake leg I can do almost anything with one leg anybody else can do with two. I was thinking of getting a electric wheelchair instead I got an electric bike ecotric hammer. And when I get my leg I can use this bike to exercise
Ah yeah. I had an external mic for that but there was an error with the audio and I couldn’t get it off the device I used. So I had to stick with the on-phone audio for the outdoor parts.
That's some thigh strength at one minute. I use a cane and iWalk, same principal. Bad leg down first, good foot up first. I'm too old, fat and out of shape to hop.

Roll down but not up. Despite the trials, your attitude is tops. Stay strong.

U always do everything so effortlessly baby girl keep it up
Stairs and showers: An amputee's nightmare😁🤙🏾
Nah lol

Whoa your limb is looking so well healed! I'm in Florida and hardly use my crutches for stairs or at all. But thanks for the options!
God bless you. I love the sense of humor.
I was out of the hospital 6 days after my AKA. I couldn't hop up the stairs without feeling that the clips were gonna bust open. One by one had to go up sitting down. After a week I was hoping up and down.
I’m not an amputee but I like to hop up the stairs that same way you did at the end

Awesome video Christina 😊👍👍
You're awesome and such an inspiration for a bka like me. We can do anything 😊❤
Thanks so much for the video.
I was hoping for a railing slide.
I have a knee that doesn’t work right and often end up using a handrail like a crutch and just pretend that leg isn’t there rather than let it get in the way,
Such a brave lady 😍
i dint go outdoor yet just inside the house .soon i will go out still and do the rolling the you made i smile at that part and i want to do it too rolling in the ground..
Yay! Do it!
I love you

Yes practice! Forearm crutches require more arm muscles. Which means you can grow some more arm muscles from using them :)
Even though I was using crutches prior to amputation, and I was SUPPOSED to be non-weight bearing on my bad foot, if I lost my balance that foot would shoot out to catch me. Yesterday in PT it happened, and my stump went out in front, but nothing there
Awesome video. I use forearm crutches myself. Do you hold them with your leg on the handle? It's very useful. Could be cool to show
Yes I do that.
AmputeeOT can you make a video about it?
Have you decided what kind on knee you are gonna be paired with? I have the rheo 3 and I love it!
I’m an aka as well. I use crutches at the moment but I do want to try forearm ones. Yours look awesome! Where did u buy those?
They are Ergobaum crutches
@@AmputeeOT They are expensive,I have just looked and they are £189.00.
May i ask your opinion? What prosthetic is better mechanical or electronic?
♥️♥️💋

You used to have a what appeared to be a healthy knee. What happened?
I know you have probably got this question a lot but what is up with the audio in your newer vids?
I don’t know? I’m Deaf, I use a hearing aid and cochlear implant to hear. I can’t hear well. What’s wrong with it???
@@AmputeeOT The voice-over in this video is fine, but the audio outside sounds quite tinny and flat.
Ah yeah. I had an external mic for that but there was an error with the audio and I couldn’t get it off the device I used. So I had to stick with the on-phone audio for the outdoor parts.
@@AmputeeOT that would explain it.
your one leg is probably stronger than most peoples both legs.
Nice ergobaum crutches. How heavy are they?
They are like 2.5lbs. I took the knee rests off mine.
@@AmputeeOTthen I have the same ones! I also took off the knee pads. I found them too heavy. Do they tire you out?
It's not hard I've had to wait 3 years for my prosthetic so crutches and stairs and everything else is not hard when your forced to do it for years
That's some thigh strength at one minute. I use a cane and iWalk, same principal. Bad leg down first, good foot up first. I'm too old, fat and out of shape to hop.
Why did they take your leg off?
TL:DR WHY I GOT AN AKA REVISION
That was supposed to be a link to the video about it
Christina i remember you as a below knee amputee and now you are above.What happened to you?

Thank you for answering.I wish you all the best!
