Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.

It may have been a technical failure but it wasn't due to the missing limbs - it was all the fault of the missing legs!

Footless Jo buying a legless desk 😂 I enjoyed this video very much, and I do think you did a great job at ikea! Not your fault the legs you originally chose were sold out. Plus your trip looked like it was a lot of fun, so I'm gonna call it a win ☺

[@austinpatrick2682]

Most genuine Jo laugh ever at 7:55 I'm loving this, glad you had so much fun.

[@jonburne1]

Laughed so much - thank you. An IKEA shopping trip is always fun but you guys turned it into riot. When you picked up the legs I yelled at the screen "No, they are not for a glass top!!!!" I once bought a table from IKEA and got it home to discover it was black - not the white I wanted. My IKEA is 500km (310 miles) away. Hopefully yours is much, much nearer and they have the trestle supports back in stock.

[@tessapal]

Ahhh my car seats do the same thing! And if your battery dies, you can’t get into your trunk because the buttons don’t work to pop it, and you can’t put the seats down because the release lever is in the trunk. Hope your desk works out eventually and that your car battery never dies with important things in your trunk!

[@moyashisoba]

This makes me miss my best friend so badly. She had to move for work. I want all the giggles. It was so much fun to watch this episode, thank you.

Literally crying with laughter because trying to get stuff into a car after Ikea is a struggle in every case. This has brought me such joy today. Thankyou

[@patklemmensen1694]

you smiled. you laughed. you loaded awkward/bulky items without outside help - aside from your friend, who contributed to the laughter & smiles. so it's a win-win, even if the components weren't quite compatible (prolly an easy fix, shenanigans notwithstanding).

[@thenewleaves8258]

I knew it! As soon as I saw you tell us to stay tuned for Ikea I knew Alexis was involved. This was so funny! My car seats go down the same way and I was laying in bed yelling "THE TRUNK!" and I'm so glad you googled it. Ikea is so great but also so awful I'm glad you had each other. Definitely a place for friendship. So great. Best ever.

[@lydiakies9053]

Next time you go to Ikea, go in through the 'exit.' It makes it a whole lot easier. I swear, Ikea is designed to get you lost and distracted so you spend more money. Going in backwards disrupts that. It's AWESOME.

[@carasachs4004]

Omg you two are hilarious!!! This was an awesome video. I’m disabled and I LOVE laughing at the bizarre situations that I sometimes end up in (like dislocating a finger while putting on my shoes and running out the door...no time to stop so I just yanked on it and kept going!). People often perceive them as serious and tragic, so I absolutely ADORE that you invited everyone to laugh with you!

The other day I was out shopping and I saw the coolest thing. There was a guy who was an amputee I believe he was below the knee just like you. He had his prosthetic attached to one of those push scooters! So he was just scooting along in the shopping centre going faster than most of the able bodied people!
