  • Today I wanted to talk more about how my amputated hand feels. Had some great questions in the other video I did that I wanted to answer in this video. Everything from how do I carry myself to do I dream with two hands!

    Hello you! ! I am an amputeeOG who is a survivor of a traumatic boating accident, or hit and failure to render aide. Becoming an amputee in 2001 has been a journey with many setbacks, but having the will to succeed, and move forward with God’s grace I am able to live my best life. I am hoping my hand amputation story will give strength, educate, and help people know the life an amputee. I am aspiring to give some insight into what it’s like being an amputee. I could have never imagined I would wake up one day, and have a story to tell about having an amputation. One is not finally happy, but able to find happiness along the way.

    Absolutely fascinating facts about something that most of us would probably be very embarrassed to ask. But you're able to talk about these things quite openly and I think it's wonderful that you can be so open-minded and honest! 🥰

      I hear ‘ya man! She’s so open and honest and so refreshing to listen to. I’m learning a LOT from her myself.

    Thanks for this video. You explain so well how your stump feels, and feels like when you touch it. When my arm was amputated over two years ago now, the surgeon did a very good job of wrapping some muscle tissue over the end of the two bones. I had cancer in my wrist and my right arm was amputated so I have about 2/3 of my forearm now. The end of my stump can bear some weight with no pain, and the scar is almost invisible. I don't try to hide my stump, I just let it hang by my side naturally. Like you pointed out in you great video, it doesn't hang straight down, but at an angle. I did have phantom pain in the beginning, but for the most part, it only appears on occasion, and not nearly as bad as it was in the beginning. My boyfriend loves to caress my stump when we are just sitting around on the couch, especially while we are watching TV. It does make my arm feel more relaxed, especially during those phantom pain occurrences. It seems strange that like you, I always have two hands in my dreams, but when I wake up, I only have one hand again.

    Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. In my case, because my right arm is only about 6 or 7 inches long, it naturally hangs straight down, unless I move it to a different position by using my muscles. I do have some padding on over the bone, but since my arm is so short, I never put any pressure on the end of it. When I sleep, it just lays next to my body, again, my arm is very short compared to yours. I is funny that I have two very functional arms in my dreams. Even after 15 years, although my phantom pains are all but gone, I can still feel like I can move my fingers.

      Yes, I had it in the beginning and it got better with time. Now, I have it occasionally, and am working on mirror therapy that was suggested. I also, pretend to rub the area that is hurting.. Great question.. Thank you for watching-Cristie

    I lost my arm above my elbow 27 years ago, and I still have the sensation that my fingers on my amputated arm are being pinched every now and then. My arm is very short, maybe 6 inches or so, and it hangs down next to my body unless I move it. It is strange that I too have two hands in my dreams.
