I just had my right leg amputated above the knee due to severe infection recently, and it is certainly a process to go through. I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about the phantom pains, having trouble sleeping,or the whole adaptation of living / balancing medication to comfortably live without a limb. before physical therapy. ( I was a side sleeper before the procedure, and now I'm having to find creative ways to fall asleep on your back while propping up your leg to find a comfortable spot without triggering all the nerve firings in between)

Is it possible.to have both legs amputated below the knee for numb feet during the same surgery n then get fitted with C Leg Prosthesis from the Tampa VA ? I don't know how much longer I can tolerate having real numb feet . Getting tired of the pain . I don't have any diabetic sores n I hope I can prevent that from happening so I don't have to have painful wound care . How long would the surgery take n how long would I have to stay in the hospital post op ? Any advice . Recommendations and suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Thank You ! ! !

Why is the doctor smiling in this video while talking to the patient. Could it be the doctor is thinking of how much money he is going to make because of the amputation? Why isn’t there a solution besides cutting off body parts???

Look I'm sorry for what happened to you and since I have not passed through the experience you had I'm afraid I can't advice you. I only wish that you can move on and recover from this hard moment. This video is for educational purposes and to show patient what to expect un a calmed way

As you call it a journey! I consider it a curse!. Options? What options. I’m stuck with two fake legs that were built wrong and I can’t use them. They keep falling apart. Opportunities? Yeah I get to sit in a wheel chair all day. Wow, that can really be a lot of fun. I can’t drive to go anywhere to meet others in my same condition. I get out of the house once a year to see my urologist and regular doctor.. the people today, because of COVID lockdown should be in my shoes. I know you mean well, please don’t bother me again!

Damn sorry the people who made this video personally strapped you down clockwork orange style and forced you to watch it for hundreds of hours! Touch grass, with your hands though.

I wish I never had the amputation of both legs. I’d rather be dead than have to live with no legs

@@OttobockNorthAmerica why would I want to talk, the damage is already done. My legs are gone and even God can’t or won’t replace them. There is a section on the internet that says if cancer can be cured, if sight can be restored, if hearts can be restored why can’t legs and arms be restored. I know why! Because God hates amputees. There, I’ve talked, enough said
