Hello,
Does anybody even read these? I feel like I have never read these. What do people even say in it? You are watching the video - you have a title - what else do you need.
Here's a link to follow my instagram I guess? / annikatheamputee

Recent right leg bk amputee myself...almost 2 mths now. Currently ok'ed for prosthesis fitment but due to lack of insurance its gonna take awhile with a lot of hoops to jump thru.Even tho i knew for years "30" that it was gonna eventually happen...the amputation that is it still came as a bit of a shock.I was already mentally all right with it but the one thing its still taking me a bit to come to terms with is that a wheelchair and all that comes with them will always be a part of my life even if only on a time share with an eventual prosthetic.I am old enough now that the need to be a hard ass and do everything by hopping or on crutches isnt realy appealing anymore.I am glad to see that while you havent let it stop you from doing things ya want...hell you embrace em you also dont see the need to do it the hardest way all the time

Im so sorry to hear about your amputation, but Im glad you are mentally okay with it. Some days will be harder than others, AND THATS OKAY. You are so strong to have gone through everything you have. Find things you love to do and youll make them work, whether its from a wheelchair or another assistive device. I HIGHLY recommend doing some research because there are a lot of organizations out there to help with prostheses or other adaptive equipment, especially when insurance won't pay for them. Keep your head up!

Annika, the text normally contains a lot of links and nothing much of interest usually. Your text was actually one of the funnier ones I've seen. Happy to see you posting more regularly now. It is always a bit worrying when people go MIA, because it's impossible to watch people talk about their life during a rough time without starting to care about them. Love your videos. Keep them coming, and if you decide to take a break, give us a short notice first :-).

That mug is brilliant, your energy and humour and love for life is an inspiration and infectious. I'm recovering from a pretty horrendously broken leg at the moment and it's not going as well as the doctors had hoped, so I was told a couple of days ago that there's a real possibility that it will need amputation. It's still crazy to think about but you and a few others on KZfaq have helped put my mind more at ease about that as a possible outcome not being the end of the world.

For a while..Ive been thinking in my head, "how am I gonna wear my prosthetic leg in my house?" I cant take off the shoe because shoe is too hard to put on since the fake leg cant bend its ankle...I cant buy an indoor shoe because even if I did, the chemotherapy I am on gives me very bad blisters on my hands and FOOT. So what am I to do? Thats why I came here.

Curious question, what type of liner do you use when you put on your prosthetic? Referring to the silicon ring thing towards the bottom.

I use a seal in liner. I dont like suspension sleeves and i have a pin on my other leg. Between the 3, it it is my favorite liner in comfort, appearance, and maintenance

I got it off amazon! I looked for magnetic spice rack. Its a little pricey for the plated, and you have to buy your own spices, but its completely customizable and I already had spices so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey Annika, I noticed you said you don't like using your prosthetic leg alot and I am wondering why? I am due to be amputated soon and I thought a prosthetic leg was a life saver in terms of helping you get around. For example at the lake I noticed you used your wheelchair instead of walking. Is this due to personal choice or do you experience difficulties with your prosthetic leg? Thanks for any answers you can give me.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of reasons not to wear a prosthetic. Right now, I am dealing with problems in my existing ankle and since I normally have to take extra force on it, I'm not able to walk without pain. But prosthetics have come a long way in comfort, but they still are really just dead weight. I choose which activities are worth pushing myself with my prostheses, but I really don't like wearing them often. THAT BEING SAID I do know some amputees who wear legs all the time. I just am not one of those amputees.

@@meeleecenth Hi there ... I'm a below knee amputee as well (3 yrs now) and wear my prosthesis probably 75% of the time. I hate my chair. I find it very limiting, especially since I work in a clean room at the hospital. I prefer my prosthesis as I can just get up and go. It's certainly not perfect but it allows me to be a lot more mobile. I have issues with my existing foot as well but still prefer to wear my prosthesis as much as I can and every once in a while I take a "no leg day" to rest. I get by with the use of knee scooters at home and/or the help of family (I have 3 kids 17, 19 & 23 yrs old & my husband). Like many amputees I prefer to do things for myself, so I'm always looking for tips from other amputees! Best of luck!

The difference between you and me is that I got an amputation above the knee. Also I dont use a wheel chair. To me, as a man, I think wheel chairs are a last resort. I'd rather get exercise and mobility over the chair.
