Never get a blister 😂😂😂😂

Doctor seems like a really good dude

Great vid man. 👌

Thanks. I found this to be very interesting and helpful information.

God Bless You and good luck with your ongoing recovery.

Having the same issue with companies reaching out to me for reviews. I'm like you. Ethics is very important to me as well. I just can't endorse something without believing in it. Thanks for that insight. Any other advice would be appreciated. I'm new to this game.

Gerald is a master prosthetist who has excellent casting and measuring technique. You have a skilled practitioner who will show you the way.

I have been following along since your accident. I am amazed at how well you are handling all of this! I have always been very able bodied and I’m not sure I would be anywhere near as easy going and as understanding as you have been. I would be struggling with all of this. It’s honestly sometimes hard to watch. You are mentally strong. I always wish you nothing but the best!

that old guy was really good. your gonna be in good shape man

Well Don, sorry for what you going through, BUT glad you are able to go through it and still have a reasonable life after what happened. Looking forward to how you deal with or compensate during the adjusting period. I've got a feeling you'll be back to abnormal really soon!!!!!

Great wonderful progress mate! Well done. Happy for you. 😊

That shrink on a stick almost makes me miss date night with the ex.

Incredible! Looks like you have the A team involved in this project, dang it man, you are awesome.

I am so glad you have matched up with such a competent guy, must be confidence inspiring for you.

Awesome Don, I know you can't wait for the new leg.

I love the way you look for word to say the carpuride isn’t a huge POS that’s about all I can say. If someone comments I want the free crapuride on five different videos of mine I will ship them the one I have in my garage for free.

Good luck with the new leg

Great to see your progress and go on this difficult (for you) journey. It is difficult to show your life like this sometimes. I appreciate your courage

That was cool 😎

I spent a lot of time in hospitals and clinics as a kid with my mum working as a doctor. I got to meet many patients including people who had lost limbs in all kinds of accidents. I remember being so impressed by what prosthetics could do that I wanted a career making them. Things changed as I grew older and I became a lumberjack. But to this day I’m still fascinated by the technical side of prosthetics and the different advancements. Thanks for the updates. Best wishes.

Good point is that if you're handy you will be able to tweak your prosthetic over time.

Great attitude brother! Thank you for posting this, pretty cool to see. I don’t know if it helps out at this point but I subscribed. See ya in the next video. GOD BLESS

Wow, Don That man is a true blessing.

I'm bad about wanting to make stuff myself. It's a redneck ingenuity arrogance. "$40! Hell, there can't be $20 worth of materials and I already have half of that stuff in the shop." I started watching this thinking it was odd that a medical professional would show the techniques for what would be a How To KZbin video for me. The process is basically what I would have guessed with a lot more details than I'd have guessed and no doubt ten times more important details that weren't even hinted at in this video. If I needed a triple bypass surgery, I wouldn't watch a video of it and then try to do it myself. This is similar to that. I might be tempted to make a semi-functional Terminator prosthesis for an elaborate Halloween costume, but that's about it. Gerald clearly knows his craft and he was a very nice guy to allow you to make this KZbin content. That doesn't mean I wouldn't make prosthesis accessories. I'm thinking a cup holder (for the laughs) and a holster for reals. Hit me up. Have 3D printer. Will print.

Sounds and looks like you have the right team fitting your new leg and I like the alien he drew on your knee.

my guy is glamping

I'm watching with keen interest, hoping to see you back on a bike soon. From the progress I've seen so far, I say it won't be long. Adventure bikers are a rare breed, who will tackle almost any challenge to stay in the saddle. 👍 By the way, I say you are in good hands with the fellow taking the measurements and making the prosthetic leg. He looks like he has done this a time or two.

The doctor definitely knew what he was doing. It shows. This is very interesting thanks for posting Don.

I still don’t want one

I learned something today thanks

I went with a waterproof dust proof vibration proof oukitel tablet with drive mode 2 on it. Best combo you can have

That guy is amazing. PROGRESS

Glad to hear the humor. 😝 I kept saying “That’s what she said”, then chuckle. Like the attitude in the room.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this! I’m glad it was your braking leg as opposed to your shifting leg (I’d assume you’d need more dexterity with your shifting leg). Looks like you are in good hands too. When all this shit is over, get back on that horse and ride, brother! We are with you!

That's great!!!

Thank you from taking us along.

A pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. He will have you walking in short order.

Any kind of walking beats heck out of crutches, walkers and wheel chairs

I think you rolled a nat 20 on having Gerald in your area that guy seems awesome

Impressive!

I bet you've seen some amazing things. Ive been t9 Canada. But my whole life ive remained in Birmingham Alabama

Moto Giant wearing a garter belt. Awesome. I found this extremely interesting. Opened my eyes as to what is involved in getting a leg ready.

Amazing.

Looked pretty straight forward from a mechanical perspective. I guess the trick is to make it comfortable with no "hot" spots. Good luck.

Looks like your in good hands man

I too have a hard time trying to relax in the doctors office. Glad to see progress is being made!

Very interesting I've always wondered how they did all this. Very similar to how my braces are made

Keep up the good work. Felt like I was watching Ghost at one point. Ha!

Interesting work, skilful😊

I almost can’t stand how positive you have remained during your whole ordeal. There is no way I could maintain such a positive attitude. I am impressed.
