Wow, thank you

Another update coming soon. Flying to a remote community in the winter. That will be interesting….

Thank you

Thank you too!

I am so sorry to hear this. I know the feeling. I smile and mask my feelings as I have to carry on and support my family. I wish you all the strength in your ongoing journey. You are not alone.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you

Glad it helped

Thank you Kelly. I agree. It takes a lot of energy and thinking and planning. I am tired at the end of day. I get everything ready for morning before I go to bed at night! I appreciate your comment.

Thank you Andrew. Your encouragement helps!

You made me giggle. :-)

@@amputeeandrea4058 that's great

Thank you for the positive vibe after a challenging morning!

Ok

Thank you for viewing the video and the support!

Thank you. I have been getting better at it. My first year as an amputee was better than my second year. I am still recovering from breaking my good leg. Of all things!!! It is finally hurting less and starting to feel a bit more reliable but I have 5 more months to go before my good leg if fully healed. I am pretty hard on it because I have to work. So I get up and go to the office every day. Lots of stairs at work and at home. By the weekend I am definitely ready to rest. Excited to hopefully have a better summer this year and get back to some normal activities. Build up strength and walking (we call them hikes lol) distance. Right now I don't put in 1000 steps lol in a day. I will get back to it tho. Let it heal, let it heal... My surgeon has a note up for me that says "No more falls". Have a great day.

@@amputeeandrea4058 and then also all the snow, I wish you good healing of your leg and no falls, because I can imagine how badly you were and still are affected by the injury to your good leg, I find 1000 steps a day very good, We are looking forward to spring soon, best regards and have a wonderful day!

thank you

Thank you for the idea. Right now the nylons are because we had to rip apart my definitive leg. The final coating was a skin tone silicone coating that was very expensive. It also was too heavy for my residual limb causing constant muscle spasms and ultimately led to a fall and fracturing my good leg and hurt my residual limb. The coating was lovely in that it shaped my leg and smoothed out the bumps. When they removed the silocone coating that took away 1 1/4 lbs and we were back to my light weigh fiber glass prosthesis. However they left the foam shaping. Currently we are waiting for a product to spray paint over the white foam and fibre glass and protect the foam from breaking apart. Wearing double nylons are to hide the different colours of the now unfinished prosthetic leg. I also wear a gel liner inside my prosthetic leg and that requires bare skin. Rashes etc and very stinky at end of day (TMI) I will often wear footless stockings not leggings or leggings for dresses with thin socks in winter. I will post when we refinish the leg. Thanks for your input!

yes but I see your background and I am very liberal. You will not want to follow my social media. Let's just stick to amputee issues

Stumps are far more sexy then feet. That's why I have both amputated.

I have started doing that. Thank you for the idea.

Hello Katrina, I watched your video and my heart goes out to you. I wish you the best. I am not sure where you are. I am in Canada. I did not have to pay for my walker or my leg. We have a different health care system. I don't have insurance from an employer and I did not get insurance compensation from my accident. We have universal healthcare. I did find when I wanted a second walker I was able to borrow one from an organization. All the best Andrea

Thank you

Take care. Above the knee is much more challenging that what I experience. Be safe

@@amputeeandrea4058 yeah I no wish it never happened
