Surely I does.

That's a really good idea, however I've had both legs amputated below the knee from complications from diabetes. My question is would 2 walking crutches allow me to be mobile without a wheelchair? My name is Matt I live in Las Vegas N.V.

Can you explain how your prosthetic leg changed sides in this video?

Umm no one asked you anything !!!

Beautiful woman with a grate personality and determination to not let anything stop her ,she is me and my wife's kind of woman 💖.

Yes. I was just looking at that like, "What the heck?!!" 😂

Fr lol

right....i was so confused

Me too . I’m still a bit confused as to the leg that’s been amputated. I thought it was the right with the left leg banged and bruised up. 🤷🏼‍♀️🧐 Beautiful Spirited young woman regardless the leg. Same exact challenges emotionally , mentally and physically. But it’s a bit confusing for me with which leg has been amputated.

Gets me too. Cant understand how the reverse camera makes it look like her opposite leg.

Piratesthetic best prosthetic

Lol. Same

Who needs a prosthetic when you can have an aesthetic

Yes, me as well.why though😅

Not old or wooden but a pirate leg

Does it hurt wow puting the mechanical lights on

I was thinking the exact same thing

Thank god it is just me thinking that

you're right though, she does do a wiggly nubbin dance

@@caitlinmorris5064 Love that she uses the word nubbin it’s such a fun word

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Would.

Would

You guys lmao. Would 😂

Bet she is married to a feet person and she only gets half the love lol

Can already hear the wannabe funny people asking if he wants a helping hand (leg)

Probably broke his growth plate in his leg. If you do that too young your leg will not grow anymore. Almost happened to me when I was 12.

She's hot, that's for sure.

Hell yeah, you show 'em tiger!

I got to agree with you Alex you're very encouraging God bless you but yes that is one beautiful girl

She's tops,luv her

My husband just had a bka..... he's really needing this kind of stuff ❤ thank you

Those things are great if you have good balance. Got me through three surgeries and is about to get me through a fourth. I couldn't use a knee scooter in my old house. It was, as you say, a lifesaver.

😂

That's gold

@Hitano no

My aunt runs people over with her electric wheelchair if they're mean 😅

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly.

All i was thinking 😍

She appreciates life as it is. Beautiful soul.

As someone who is in her shoe, I learned something a long time ago. You have a choice when something like this happens. You can let it define you going forward, or you can defy it. Losing a limb us a magnifier. If you are a decent, strong person before, you become more of one after the change in your life. If life always defeats you, you will let it drag you down. One keeps people around who will support you, and give you that hand up when you need it, the other drives people away, just when you need them the most. I became an AKA in July of.last year. Jo and her channel, as well as friends I have known for decades facing the same struggle have.made it easier to deal with this. Because they are the same way she is about it. My able friends also make it easier to cope with, because they understand this. I am.still the same person I was, with a better appreciation for life,.despite what I have.been through. Something that has brought us all closer, and makes us treasure the time we have even more.

Yeah it's a shame. I also wish there was more beautiful people on the planet. 🤣

I have two legs and still stay on bed all day 🥺😭

Beatiful? Its a female but k

Rahul tu shuru kara phir se ? Guru math bann ❤ love day

@@robo1989 who are you

So glad you get some insight into patients life post discharge!

As a doc? Like a document? Because, silly me, I'd have thought a proper doctor would know how to spell "doctor". But you're probably American so that's ok.

How heavy a prosthetic leg depends on what type of foot the amp has. Blades are known to be extremely light because it's carbon fiber, that material is also what’s inside an everyday leg as well. This time the carbon fiber is inside a rubber molding of a foot which can add weight. Adjustable heels are also really heavy because of the amount of metal in it. I've personally have never had a real leg because I have PFFD, a birth deficiency, so I'm not sure if it's heavier or lighter. If someone is below the knee it is usually lighter. If someone is above the knee it is usually heavier because the artificial knee takes most of the weight. Hope this helps!

@@jeannie2548 Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), also known as Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD), is a rare, non-hereditary birth defect that affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone, and the proximal femur. The disorder may affect one side or both, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. (I just googled it)

@@jeannie2548 lol what the other person said. It's just a really tiny leg and foot with no knee. I’ve had Rotation Plasti where my leg gets chopped off, completely turned around, and sewed back together, giving me more range of motion when I'm in my prosthetic. Technically my heel is my knee, and my knee is technically my hip, I know it's confusing but that's what I have to explain to people. So I'm not an actual amputee! Lol

@@jeannie2548 Ah, no problem!

@@abnormalunicorn7990 I think I saw that surgery on greys anatomy wow that’s intense

You shouldnt hsve respect for her shes faking it

@@Non_Playable_Character218, I see what you are saying. I went back on some of her videos. One had her with left leg missing. In another one she had miraculously grown her left leg back and lost her right. Wow. No more respect here.

@@patrickadams6762 yeah it sad

@@patrickadams6762 she explained that in a separate video. You should go watch that, it’s a far better explanation than her somehow doing extremely good professional CGI work (but then forgetting which leg to CGI out. Does that really sound believable?)

@@stheil no

I’m not sure if this would work for you or be a decent option but my little cousin sometimes decides to use normal crutches and get around like someone who’s simply broken their leg instead of having it amputated. He doesn’t do that all the time though, just when he can’t use his prosthetic

No matter how long you've been an amputee when you first get a prosthetic it feels heavy and is hard to use it so don't worry, its that way for everyone. You'll eventually get the hang of it. It just takes time and practice. My above knee amputation was done in April of this year and I got my prosthetic at the end of September after 3 months of physical therapy to build strength and flexibility to prepare me for it. When I first got my prosthetic leg I was excited until I tried it on and attempted to walk. I became extremely worried I wouldn't be able to use it properly because it was so heavy and I didn't have the muscle strength to lift it even a little and that was after months of physical therapy. But do not think that's how hard it will always be, you will build muscle strength and balance the more you use it. At first you will need crutches or a walker. After you master that I'd recommend a rollator which is like a push cart on wheels, this made all the difference for me. Crutches were just slowing me down, a rollator is great because it allows you to walk with fluid motion behind it while holding onto it for balance. In contrast, with a walker or crutches its a more jerky motion with starts and stops so walking with them isn't as natural a movement. Now that it's the end of December I can walk pretty fast with a rollator, slowly with a cane and sometimes I can do short distances like across a room and back without any mobility aids at all. Just keep working at it, you've lost a lot of muscle strength you have to rebuild because it's been so long but as long as you are determined you can make it happen. Please note if your prosthetic is extremely uncomfortable or painful or doesn't fit right and that is what is causing you not to use it then you need to go back to your prothetist as many times as necessary for adjustments until it does fit right. I needed 10 appointments to get the fit of the test socket right before they made my permanent socket and I've had it adjusted another 8 times after in just 3 months (and I go back again next week to get the brim trimmed yet again.) My prothetist is looking into doing a special modification on my socket to make the thigh adjustable with a flexible brim and ischeal seat because the top of my thigh changes size a lot during the day while the bottom half never changes size so the leg ends up twisting and digs into my groin when I walk. She's already cut it down several inches but it still needs more until she determines what modification to go with (she's looking at the Martin Bionics Swing Brim modification and the LIM Infinite socket as two possibilities.) I am very lucky I have a prothetist willing to work with me to make lots of tiny adjustments for my comfort. If your prothetist dismisses your discomfort as "normal" or allows you to continue to use a painful badly fitting prosthetic without trying to fix it that means you need to find a different prothetist.

And she’s married

Watching people tackle life like a boss and showing us that it can be done is a public service. And yes, she is both, pretty and married.

Ok Aphrodite, now start thinking with your head and not your genitals.

​@@Fade_NBso being married means one cannot compliment?

@@plummet3860 seems my phone got took when that comment was written I’ll have a word with my sister. But no

I think she's cool and cute enough to be the protagonist of a movie , like a movie version of the book Perfect from Alizon G.b

Must be mirrored for some reason 🤔

I also noticed this idk yeah must be mirrored or something

:facepalm: How, after all of this time, do people still get confused by the mirroring caused by the "selfie camera?"

This really thre lw me off..

It threw me for a loop aswell glad I can sleep now that I have an answer 😅

seems the vid is cut.. i dont see where she said shes ugly with that

@@boyPobre nobody said it in the video. But in the comments, I read some saying she was “ewww” and just nasty things I’d rather not say. So I wanted to make a positive post!

Shes faking it lol her amputated leg seitched sides

@@Non_Playable_Character218 some pics and videos are just mirrored. Chill.

She's not being positive, she IS positive

How much it's weight?

Or just used the selfie camera.

I was thinking the same thing!

The tiktok selfie camera flips the image

Hold on you’re onto something here this isn’t right. In this one her left leg is clearly gone but If you look the right leg is gone in the video she just put about her itching amputated leg . I’m also an amputee I don’t wish to be able to switch legs just have it back lol

@@gemnicherry2670 the tiktok selfie camera flips the image

Same I'm trying to believe it isn't fake but I'm confused it was def the other leg right or is it just the cam flip

She talks about her different styles of crutches, pros and cons in another video. Another guy here on youtube using this one and other crutches, also had a tiny sitting scooter to get around the house. Lots of options. This walking crutch is called iWalk, if I remember correctly.

SELFIE CAMERA!

This one video confuses me as well even though I know it's the right leg

It's not hard to walk up stairs at all. It's just like walking in a real leg, but it feels different. If you’ve been in crutches your whole life it would also be extremely easy to maneuver.

I struggle some days walking up and down stairs depending on which prosthetic I put on my left leg...one does great... the heavier one... some times it hurts a lot and cuts into the back of my leg which is a prosthetic teams job to solve... haven't been to see my team as often because in February a Domino's Pizza driver hit me head on in a turn zone and destroyed my car... and sch is life...LOL! I decided to stop driving due to that... messed up other areas of my body in that car wreck... and had to rehab for that... and still managing to stay independent.

I'm an above knee amputee so I can't use an iWalk but besides my prosthetic leg I have 2 different wheelchairs, forearm crutches, regular crutches, 2 walkers, a rollator, and a cane to choose from for mobility aids. I switch out mostly between the nicer wheelchair, rollator and cane but do occasionally use crutches any of which can be with or without my leg on (except the cane, it only works with the leg on.) If I wear the leg depends on how tired I am, how swollen the limb is, how much pain I'm in and if I have any skin issues. I mainly use my wheelchair around the house and don't wear the leg. When I go out I usually wear the leg and either use the wheelchair, rollator or cane depending on how much mobility I have that day.

@@claritey That's fantastic that you have so many options that you need. Just curious, did you have to pay out of pocket for all of those? Or do you live in a country with a health system that pays for them?

@@resourceress7 I've in the US and insurance paid for the more expensive items ($65k prosthetic leg, $3k wheelchair, one walker $120) but not everything was covered so some was out of pocket (both types of crutches total $70, cane $10) but they weren't terribly expensive either, some were donated to me for free by friends (other wheelchair, walker) and the rollator I bought 2nd hand for $35. In the US if I didn't have insurance or the income to pay for those things my options would be to apply for social security disability from the govt but that can take years to get, hope I get approved for Medicaid/Medicare, buy with a special medical credit card called CareCredit or apply for assistance through one of the many private organizations that help disabled people
