    This was very inspiring. Sometimes life changes in a different direction. Randy showed why persistence and gratitude is a must. Randy's message covers many of life's obstacles. Thank you!

    This was very good to see. I love the advice about learning to roll. I'm 72 and have days where my balance is just not working. Your videos lately have been so helpful. I've been doing exercises to strengthen my ankles and calf muscles.
    Cheers

    I got to treat and interact with several amputees in my University's clinic, so seeing this guy roll like that was mind-blowing!

    excellent. Randy is certainly an inspiring role model. Very useful for amputees. There are internal protheses as well such as for knees and hips from joint replacement. It would be helpful to understand how to manage the inevitable fall with the internal protheses..

    I like Randy’s attitude. I’m 64 and pretty active. In the last 10 years I have fallen and broken my wrists 3 times. My hubby tells me I need to “learn how to fall”. 😂

    Good video again. I’m a below-the-knee amputee (5.5 yrs). I was 62 yrs. old when I lost my leg in a motorcycle accident (an inattentive motorist ran into me). Six months after my accident, my daughter had me climbing rock climbing walls at a gym. Randy is right about being and staying in shape. I was doing CrossFit before my accident so adapting to my new life as an amputee was easier because I was in such good physical shape. Most new amputees are not as fortunate since the majority of them are because of not taking care of themselves which lead to there circulatory problems (e.g.: diabetes, etc.).
    There are, what are called, K-levels which are the activity levels of amputees. They range from K-1 to K-4. The higher the K-level, the higher the activity and capability is from the amputee. So Randy stating that he’s a 5 or 6 does not fit in this common amputee activity range, which is recognized universally.
    I’m sure every amputee is somewhat unique, but I’ve developed several amputee “hacks” for performing everyday activities that non-amputees take for granted, if you’re ever interested. (e.g.: getting dressed, showering, riding a bicycle, etc.)
    Keep up the great work, B&B!😃

    Amazed at how easily that knee bent when you sat down and moved it with your hands. Difficult bending mine into a car after sitting down

      You need a "rotator" between your knee and socket. It really helps!

      @@beltondogs My prosthetist took my rotator away. My stump is fairly long and he wanted to bring my fake knee more in line with my real knee.
