"Spring" also means "run" in Swedish (and other scandinavian languages I think) so with that in mind as well it would make an even more perfect name in my opinion!
I'm not gonna lie... That brought tears to my eyes. While I am not an amputee I have been unable to run for years due to other health reasons. I was never good a running but it was something I enjoyed and miss... I can imagine the joy you felt running for the first time in years.
"Joy"... this running blade has brought you joy, it's alllll over your face, in your eyes, your voice, your body language... it FEELS like the right word to express this new-to-you device that has, and will, give you yet another "step" towards your dreams. Joy.
I remember watching the videos before when walking with a prosthetic was challenging and painful for you and now you're running! You have such perseverance and truly are an inspiration for me to just keep pushing through and practicing self-care both mentally and physically. Thank you for your amazing content!!
Boomerang? Because it always bounces back? Or Boomerankle? For the pun 😂 Also this was amazing and someone was totally cutting onions while I was watching this ❤️
You could call it something like "Joy Ride" This was incredible to watch! I've been an OG and its amazing to see the culmination of your journey to this moment.
Watching the JOY exude out of your WHOLE being is so beautiful!!!! :,-) soooooo inspired by your strength, and proud to get to be a part of your community and watch the progress in your journey! ♥️
I am literally crying because I‘m so happy for you!! You go girl!!!! I could imagine, that this blade will make you feel like you‘re flying....I know that I feel like I‘m flying when riding my horse, so... Even though a horse was imperative in your accident and years of pain and tears....How about Pegasus? Bc THIS flying Horse/Angel will make you whole again ❤️
I love watching amputee peers who finally receive the perfect leg for a certain activity whether it be for everyday use, running, hiking, etc. Your joy was palpable and came right through the screen. Thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Jo, talking about a monumental life occurrence... Ears hear: "Hi, my name is Jo..." part of my Brain goes: "...and I work in a button factory!" 🤦♀️, like C'mon Brain, this is important! Congrats Jo! Super proud of you!
@@intervisualcouple3781 The way I learned it growing up (The Sharon, Lois, and Bram's The Elephant Show way) was, "Hi, my name is Jo(e) and I work in a button factory. I've got a wife, and a dog, and a family. One day... my boss comes up to me, he says, "Hi Jo(e), are you busy", I said, "No." He said, "Ok, turn the button with your right hand."' (And so on until you're wiggling around like a silly person.) But it has had a variety of variations over the years.
If i was in her place i would only use that prostetic leg. It seems that it doesn t irritate you stump and also makes you feel that you are always bouncing.
So great to see! I've been a below-knee amputee for a year and hoping to start running again soon, walking and cycling no problem. Very inspirational to see your progress, and all your excitement......!
Congrats Jo!! this made me cry, I'm so happy that you're at this stage. I'm sure there will be more things to work though. But you are here now, and that's AWESOME!
Congrats on your running leg Jo!!!! I'm a physical therapist and I've been watching your videos for a while. I have a patient who is having to consider amputation and I encouraged her to watch some of your videos to hear from someone who has had to make the same decision. It was great for me to be able to try and connect her with something that might be a great resource to her and it will (hopefully) be a really great corner of the internet for her to find some support. So the real thing I want to say at the end of this spiel is thank you thank you thank you for sharing your story. All the highs and lows. Thanks Jo and I can't wait to hear more about running!
i smiled soo big throughout the whole video, especially after you started running outside :D I am so happy for you, Jo, that you finally can start exploring something again that you wanted to for so long :)
Man this was such a sweet and honest video! As an avid runner, I can only imagine how great it felt to be able to run after so long not being able to do it. I did not expect to be crying at 1:27am! So happy for you🙂
Jo!! I just did my makeup for the first time in two months and you're going to make me cry it all off! I am so unbelievably happy for you, I remember when you said you had just gotten the amputation and were hoping to get a running blade one day and now the days finally here! So so SO exciting 💜💜💜
Congratulations. I’m smiling like a loon here. And that’s how I thought of a name for your blade, Road Runner. Remember him? Wile E Coyote and Road Runner.
Haven't finished watching yet but that's amazing, we can see how excited / happy you are even before the appointment xD I'm so glad for you that it enables you to do something we, two legged people, consider (most of the time) normal to do without even thinking of it !
Sob! 😭Happy tears! You looked like a gazelle! That feeling of freedom from running is fantastic. Ideas for names are ‘Liberty’ or ‘Bolt’. Well done Jo. Your determination and resilience has got you here. xxx
Just a tip when you're running Jo: when you land your forward leg should be directly under your body. I know it's a weird habit to get into but landing with your leg too far forward puts a lot of stress on your knee
Absolutely. Also, try to land on the ball of the foot and not the heel. This way you put most of the stress into your muscles (where it should be) and not the knee.
Not gonna lie Jo, this made me cry like a BABY! I found your channel after watching your “goodbye to my foot” video, and have been following along with your journey since. I am so so happy for you, the joy radiating from your heart can be felt through the screen! Congratulations love, you so deserve this. Can’t wait to see what new adventures this brings!!
Not gonna lie, when you first like jogged while you were inside with the rails, I literally started tearing up and then when you were in the parking lot I lost it but in a good way, it's happy tears. I'm SO happy for you. I've been watching you since right around the initial amputation, I can't remember if it was before or after but somewhere near it. You've been such an inspiration for me. I have had trouble with my feet and one of my knees for years now and it really had me down. But watching you, how you're so candid about how you feel, all the ups and downs, you showed me it's ok to struggle with things like this but also that they do get better. I'm doing better now, not perfect, still very far from where I was before my knee injury and reinjury, but I'm better than I was and I'm actually able to walk for more than a few minutes without horrible pain. I know how it feels to long to get to do something like run when you have obstacles to doing it. But you did it! And I'm so beyond happy for you! And the BIGGEST thank you ever to Miss Anyka (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) For so very generously giving you your new running blade! Gah, so happy, can't stop rambling.... I'ma go now lol congratulations again Jo!
I just turned 30 in September, one month after my 27th birthday I had a massive stroke. It affected my right side of my body. My arm and leg just stopped working altogether. I have regained the use of my arm and hand. But my leg hasn't been the same :( I can go up and down stairs, go grocery shopping etc. But my ankle to my toes it was gives me the toughest time. I cannot move my toes, my ankle rolls all of the time if I'm on unlevel terrain. I have honestly considered getting my ankle amputated... your video sparked my interest many months ago and I started watching them because I guess for motivation? To see the struggles of living with a amputation. After watching this video I am seriously leaning more towards it. I started bawling when when you ran down the hallway, happy tears for you! I am so happy you are able to experience the freedom of running! A experience I hope to be able to experience again!
Wow dreams do come true :) I’ve just had my 23rd operation on my knee and now looking at an above knee amputation. Leading up to this I found your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey and showing that anything is possible when pain isn’t an issue
That made me cry! I haven’t ran in over 10 years for the same reason. My amputation is in July and I am so hopeful to run. That is my “I’ve arrived” goal!! Congratulations!! I honestly know how much this meant to you!
I'm so unbelievably happy for you! I only joined your channel last December but when I got to see you run across that parking lot I nearly cried. You're such a wonderful kindhearted person and I only wish the best for you
Oh man this is amazing! Had me crying. I'm so happy for you! Congrats! The joy is just pouring out of you! I Now that I think about it I wasn't capable of running til about 4th grade when I no longer had to wear AFOs for my Cerebral Palsy. But I haven't been able to run for about 7 years now when shit hit the fan at 28 and I developed post impairment syndrome among other things. I'm not a big fan of running(although the "high" and feeling of freedom is awesome which I didn't remember til I saw this video lol) but man do I miss hiking and skiing. Can't exactly amputate my hips or overly aged musculature🤣.
Just watched this for the 1st time. I can feel the excitement you had doing this. I am above knee amputee and have finally got to the point that I now have a suspension system I can walk with confidence. I am learning how to skip now and next step will be the running but with the use of hydraulic knee. Keep up the encouragement you give to all of us all. Thank you for sharing your adventures
I have watched you since day one! I am an avid runner myself and there is nothing more freeing than a good run. I cried my eyes out watching this. SOOOO happy for you and can’t wait to see what comes next. ❤️
Hey jo you are super inspirational! I’m out in Maryland fighting for my amputation for a better quality of life. I love watching your videos when I’m having a bad day. Helps encourage me that it will get better. Thank you for what you do!
Watching you run down that hallway brought tears of happiness to my eyes! Your excitement for being able to do this is so much fun to watch. I am very happy for you! I think the name should be: Blaze!
You are soooo inspiring. Your energy and excitement is very real. I needed this today. Thank you for sharing. We need more people like you in our support group on Facebook. You amaze me. Keep going.
Im so pleased for you. I remember how stoked you were when you first got yo walked one of your dogs on your leg all by yourself Id like to suggest “bean” for your running blade as in runner bean and you certainly have the beans of excitement
Your videos always bring me happiness but this one, wow! It's so fantastic to see somebody so wonderful getting something that makes them so happy is heartwarming. Congratulations x
You are so amazing Jo! Don’t mind me sobbing over here because you finally made it to this incredible moment ❤️ it’s been so beautiful to be able to watch your journey these last couple years and finally see your struggles be SO worth it!
It's not every day you get to see somebody get something they've wanted for many, many years. What a great video. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this moment with us.
You don’t understand how proud I am! I started to tear up as I watched you run! Ive watched you for as long as I can remember! I can’t believe your finally running! Congrats! I hope you know how proud I am! 🥺🥺💓
Dear Jo, remembering all those videos about phantom pain, new leg not working, new amputations... I am so, so glad to see you so happy! I wish you all the best
You have worked hard to be happy again and you have done it! Good for you and all of your true friends and the professionals that worked with you to get you there.
Congratulations!! And thank you!! Your happiness and enthusiasm are contagious!! Thank you! Also - from an old athlete - do every thing slower than you can. Take a long time to let your body adjust. Your muscles will get strong fast, but your joints and bones will take a lot longer. Go slow and you'll be running when you're old.
![Walking into a hospital & leaving as an amputee: my amputation story [CC]](/img/n.gif)
You should call it *Spirit* from the movie with the same name. Running free was a huge theme of that movie.
Definitely!!
“You can’t catch me, I’m FREEEE”
I was totally thinking the same. Spirit would be perfect.
And,,,, it’s the name of a... horse.
spirit would be such a good name!
How about Scissors? Because then no one could tell you not to run with Scissors...
OMG YES
+ @darin McGree yes that is such a great name!
Yes!!!
Another vote for Scissors!
She said in the stream that she's thinking about picking thatname
Running blade name suggestion - “Tigger” both for the bounce and the absolute glee it give you. Congrats Jo!
Love Tigger!!
I really like Tigger!
love this suggestion! such a good name!!
So cute foot less joe
YES!😲
Im not crying YOU'RE crying!
I started to lose it at 8:54 and when she got in the hallway I f***cking lost it ! So moving and powerful omg...
Thank God I'm not the only one..
I was literally scrolling down to make the exact same comment. XD
Well I am crying
I’m not either😂
I'm screaming. Look at that ponytail go !!!!
I'm crying!
Holy SCHNIKES Jo!!!!!!!! I remember when you were worried you'd never be here, and I'm so HAPPY for you because you ARE!!!!!!!💕💕💕
so might be a bad or cheesy name but maybe the name Spring because youll have a ''Spring in your step''
"Spring" also means "run" in Swedish (and other scandinavian languages I think) so with that in mind as well it would make an even more perfect name in my opinion!
@@Radioanka Oh wow I did not know that actually, thats cool
I'm not gonna lie... That brought tears to my eyes. While I am not an amputee I have been unable to run for years due to other health reasons. I was never good a running but it was something I enjoyed and miss... I can imagine the joy you felt running for the first time in years.
Hope you get to run soon
Sending you the best of luck😘
I vote Forrest... For obvious reasons.
Will you be getting running coaching as well? Good luck!
I was going to suggest the same name!!
Yes this comment needs more likes
That’s what I was thinking too! Run, Forest, run!
I love this
I love this name!!!
I’m so happy for you Jo, you could call it Miles because you’re gonna take it for so many of them
Running blade name possibility..??? Hermes? Because you have wings on your feet 😅
Yesss😂
Yes, The Greek God with wings on his heels (Scandals)! The Greek God of Travel and Luck! May he carry you well Jo!
Hermes makes me think of The Martian and Mark Watney...
"Joy"... this running blade has brought you joy, it's alllll over your face, in your eyes, your voice, your body language... it FEELS like the right word to express this new-to-you device that has, and will, give you yet another "step" towards your dreams. Joy.
I think you should call it Bumblebee because it’s black and yellow and lets you transform!
The Shire calling...That may be the greatest name and sentiment ever...Thanks for causing me to tear up...lol...
@kookychickenwithmilk
My nephew has a yellow and black motorized wheelchair and he named it Bumblebee. 🐝😁
YES!
My face is wet. "It's the allergies." No one believes me. - A Haiku for your new chapter.
You're two syllables off in the middle line. A haiku is 5, 7, then 5 syllables :) May I suggest "Its nothing but allergies"?
Spirit is obviously a keeper....
I remember watching the videos before when walking with a prosthetic was challenging and painful for you and now you're running! You have such perseverance and truly are an inspiration for me to just keep pushing through and practicing self-care both mentally and physically. Thank you for your amazing content!!
I'm literally crying with that slow mo of you running
Boomerang? Because it always bounces back? Or Boomerankle? For the pun 😂 Also this was amazing and someone was totally cutting onions while I was watching this ❤️
Literally started tearing up seeing you run! I haven't seen this video before. Beautiful!
Name suggestion: Hope, because as someone with mobility issues that make walking difficult, and running impossible, seeing you run gave me hope.
You could call it something like "Joy Ride"
This was incredible to watch! I've been an OG and its amazing to see the culmination of your journey to this moment.
Watching the JOY exude out of your WHOLE being is so beautiful!!!! :,-) soooooo inspired by your strength, and proud to get to be a part of your community and watch the progress in your journey! ♥️
I am literally crying because I‘m so happy for you!! You go girl!!!!
I could imagine, that this blade will make you feel like you‘re flying....I know that I feel like I‘m flying when riding my horse, so...

Oh my god, I totally forgot about that song 😂

@@nicoletrowbridge5006 Our version had a wife, and three kids, and a dog
I cried as she got more and more excited when she went outside to run. I’m so happy for you!
Am I the only one who started to cry watching her run?
I’m an emotional person. Plz don’t Judge 🥳😂❤️🥰😆🤣
I immediately started crying!
Been following this journey since before the amputation and i’m so happy for her!
If i was in her place i would only use that prostetic leg. It seems that it doesn t irritate you stump and also makes you feel that you are always bouncing.
This genuinly brought tears to my eyes. I am so very happy to see this!
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!! This quote came to mind watching your video. “What seems hard now will one day be your warm-up.”
I’m literally sat here tears down face 😭 so happy for you!!
This made me more emotional than I thought it would
This is beautiful
Sally, she’s the girl in nightmare before Christmas. Because she was able to sew herself together and often removes her leg
Omg your username 😂

The amount of joy I feel for you is beyond words! I started crying when you started running.

So great to see! I've been a below-knee amputee for a year and hoping to start running again soon, walking and cycling no problem. Very inspirational to see your progress, and all your excitement......!

Thumper, cause it kind of reminds me of a bunnys leg. :)
This video actually made me cry happy tears. It's been a tough week for me but seeing you achieve this goal has really brightened my day!

I'd suggest the name "Go", although it's for running, it just rhymes with your own name 😁
It also works with "Go, Go, Go Jo" (inspired by "Go, Go, Go Joseph" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat).

Just watched this for the 1st time. I can feel the excitement you had doing this. I am above knee amputee and have finally got to the point that I now have a suspension system I can walk with confidence. I am learning how to skip now and next step will be the running but with the use of hydraulic knee. Keep up the encouragement you give to all of us all. Thank you for sharing your adventures

You have worked hard to be happy again and you have done it! Good for you and all of your true friends and the professionals that worked with you to get you there.
Yayyyy!! I am so happy for you!! I hope that nothing goes wrong and that you can run forever!!!💖💖💖
Congratulations!! And thank you!! Your happiness and enthusiasm are contagious!!
Thank you!
Also - from an old athlete - do every thing slower than you can. Take a long time to let your body adjust. Your muscles will get strong fast, but your joints and bones will take a lot longer. Go slow and you'll be running when you're old.
I think you should call it scissors because as someone said earlier, then you can always run with scissors.
