Yes, very intimate. Whenever my prosthetist would reach his hand around my groin, I tell him he’d have to take me to dinner first. It certainly lightened the uncomfortable mood. LOL
What really helps is that we (Christina and I) have known this prosthetist for years, even before he became one!
That is fantastic! I am a double amputee due to diabetes. I'm a below-the-knee. You're such an inspiration to me and my cause!
I starting laughing when you mentioned about your prosthetist getting intimate with you🤣 My prosthetist uses an iPad and 3D camera to make my sockets. No intimacy involved 😜😉
Looking forward to next weeks test cast video...
hi christina im also an above amputee just this 9th of october ..getting an insparation..i though after 6 months my doctor said before getting to be measured an artificial..
Thank you for sharing! I am currently an OT, thinking about going back to school for prosthetics and orthotics.
I am having my left leg amputated above the knee next Thursday, I see you are using Hanger I will be also, I am on the bigger side not sure if I want someone all up in my kool-aid, but I will have to get over it! Thank you for sharing your journey, it has helped me to know what to expect!
Yep, you just have to get over someone being up in your kool-aid, sorry! You can always have someone else in the room if you want.
Don’t worry. You’ll be so focused on being able to walk again by that time there’s not much they can do that will be a huge issue. New socket day is better than Christmas for me
I'm a BK. I wish you well with your upcoming surgery. I'm trying to stay away from going that hi. When my stump finally heals (it's about a month behind what the surgeon was expecting. Had some infection and a few spots that won't heal), I've been referred to Hanger in Decatur, Illinois. The iWalk 2.0 has really helped me be mobile since my surgery Sept 21, but wow I can't wait to really walk again.
I always find your videos really interesting. I am not an amputee, but my right shoulder is trashed in a manner that cannot be surgically fixed. Kind of like the reverse, hand works, but not much above the elbow

I just had a cast for my new leg done on Monday ;)
christina ,i thought you were a below the knee amputee. omg what has happened ? i myself am a new below the knee amputee as of nov.10,2929 and i have been watching your video's.
& from that they get a life size copy of your limb by filling it with plaster that they can then make the socket over 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
HI, just subscribe i am a new amputee had a though the knee on the 12/11/2020 your vid,s are ace thanks
So,how odd is it to be an A.K.A. compared to before...looking down and not seeing much left . It amazes me how they can remove a limb yet you're still able to use it...seems muscles would be less functioning
Cool video just wondering why he started his cast proximally
Looks good. She should have done some marking inside of her cast with an indelible pen. That's what we do where I work and it would have been cool to see her teach that.
Casting pants, all the elastic braces/straps to help shape the cast, moulding the ischial seat and then getting soaked in cold water ...dignity runs out the door at the speed of light 🥴 🤣😂 it’s so strange to see someone getting casted standing up. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too much longer to get your new leg 🤗🦿🤗
I thought you were below knee isthis reamputarion?
I hope everything goes smoothly for the next stage. Good luck
Hello fellow amputee. Hope this fits good.
That has to be uncomfortable!
Question how come you had to go above the knee I’ve been following you for a while now I use a lot of your information when I was below the knee it helped out so much

Thank you for sharing!
Sie hat einen sehr schönen Stumpf. Ich bin richtig neidisch. Ich hätte gerne zwei davon.
Ich wollte eine Amputee werden...damn ich lerne über andere Leute mit Amputee und jetze ich sagt, "Nah. I'm good."
How much its cost maam?
$89,000
Thank you so much for response 🙂
i have a skill saw. i will go out and cut off my own leg right now.
That way just seems like 1820’s tech to me now that I’ve had a direct fit socket so long.
I've been a amputee for 36 years next month keep up the positive attude you rock. Mine has never let it slow down you can find me on facebook under Brent Thomas in Boise Idaho
