MY STORY
After enlisting in the Unite States Marine Corps, I experienced excruciating foot pain for 9 months before finally being diagnosed with an Intramuscular Arteriovenous Malformation in my foot. 14 months of limb salvage and I begged my doctors to amputate. I have my right leg amputated below the knee in 2019 and now I am living my best life and showing it here for the world to see that despite trauma and distress, you can live great lives.

I've followed Jo for a while and now I'm following you as well. What I loved about this video is the great sense of humor you both have as well as the genuine honesty in sharing your stories. You are both delightful humans!

1. I have used mine to save my friends life, lifting him from the edge if a cliff. (Back in the old days when they had leather straps to hold your leg on 2. I won a pedicure in a raffle once and I got two because I only have one foot. 3. I have been an amputee since I was 3, so I don't remember trying anything as an able bodied person. 4. I don't have a PT related to my amputation. 5. I have, for a job. I didn't actively hide that I'm an amputee, I just didn't say I was an amputee. 6. I regularly wear my sock until it wears out. 7. I was yelled at when I was not wearing my leg. They guy failed to notice I only had one foot. That was the only time. 8. When I was little I would tell people I lost it in "the war" that would have been The Vietnam War (Was was born at the very tail end of 1969) 8. suggestion: you could say, I was attacked by a river shark in Kansas. You do know that Vietnam still exists, right? 9. No comment 10. I don't like not wearing my leg. But then I have a very good prosthetist. Anika, I know one who works for the VA here in Portland. 11. More than once. Dad wanted to have the dog put down, but I think he was joking... maybe. 12. I don't even notice any more. I'm 51 years old and I've been an amputee for 48 years. What staring? I had a kid say once, "look mom, a robot." mom said, "Shhhh, he's just missing a leg. he's not a robot." I looked at the kid and said in a robotic voice, "I am not a robot." smiled and winked. Both mom and kid smiled. 13. I once caused a car accident with my fake leg. I was in the back of a van with a bunch of friends (we were kids) coming back from some event. Traffic was stop and go and I took my leg off and turned it up in the pant leg and had my friend turn it round and round like it was really hard to do while I thrashed around like it really hurt pretending to scream. Then we heard a loud crunching noise. The car next to us had run into the car ahead of him. OOPS. 14. I have as well, though I have no memory of ever having it. 15. After hiking or being "overly acting" can you say "hamburger"? 16. I think we all have had this one.

Your discussion about how kids and their parents react opened my eyes. I expect kids and adults to frequently not know how to act around an amputee, but the adult attitude towards their kids' reactions you described - that took me by surprise.

[@FootlessJo]

Ahh I love this video so much!! 💜💜💜 Such a fun idea!!!

[@avery6387]

I love your channel so much

Looking forward to more collabs with you two

The person with a handicap sticker could have asthma, cystic fibrosis or COPD which wouldn't be as visible as a handicap as an amputee or another more visible handicap. As an asthmatic, I don't have a handicap sticker but someone with more severe asthma might not be able to handle walking through a whole parking lot and shopping too. Growing up, I had a standing gym excuse because I was much more likely to have an asthma attack during physical activity than I do now. Someone with a heart condition might need one. There are some handicapping conditions that might not be as visible as others.

[@erictaylor5462]

Me: Never have I ever clipped the toe nails on my right foot. My non amputee friend: Never have I ever misplaced my right foot

[@AnnikatheAmputee]

Ooohhh I didn't even think about the potential for my able bodied friends!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

It’s good to see Jo. Continue on your road on getting that Silver Play Button

[@anthonynicholson5193]

Great episode ladies. Keep up the informative work.

[@paulc5333]

Around 13:00 where your friend talked about sitting down with the kid at Disney made me feel good. I have many noticable tumors and I am self conscious about them I am never bothered when a little kid asks about them. I explain them to them in a simple way that makes them understand in a positive way about differences.

[@danielafurlan322]

Fun seeing you together again, always fun. I think parents should be more clear to their kids about all kinds of disabilities to their children, for the kid not to freak out as much. I love your videos.

[@theartisticautist3123]

Ahahaha I guess physical therapist are used to it 😅 At least I even struggle to remember some of the things I should have done 🙈🙈

[@sharonbrown9184]

Loved this x

[@avery6387]

Yay this is amazing

With regards to disabled parking, my friend Rich usually drove the vehicle, but it was his wife for whom the placard and plates were required. And he found that when he was driving by himself, he needed to park in the reserved spots in order to avoid confrontation with people who don't have a placard or the plates. In essence, if he had a choice and he chose to park in a non-disabled spot, then he was taking away a parking spot from someone else who didn't have that choice. Now, sometimes Rich had no choice, because there were no reserved spots available. But as a result of these experiences, on those occasions where there was a choice, he almost always took the reserved spot.

[@RainbowPawPrint]

That is very strange logic. Almost anywhere you go, there will be lots more regular parking spots than disabled spots. If your friend parks in a disabled spot when he doesn’t need to, then he 100 % prevents actual disabled people who cannot park anywhere else, from using it. While if he parks in a regular spot, he is in the clear. Even if the regular spots fill up, abled people can usually find another spot even if it is further away. Many disabled people do not have that option. Plus, using someone else’s placard is illegal and if caught doing so, he could be charged with fraud, or he could even cause his wife to lose her placard.

[@shubinternet]

@@RainbowPawPrint -- he was not using someone else's plates or placard. Plates are assigned to the vehicle. And while you can take your placard with you to another vehicle, you can't do that with license plates. Since the plates were on the van, it's not like he could choose whether or not to bring them out when required. In the particular situations that my friend found himself in, there were always many unoccupied disabled spots, but frequently not much in the way of close-in parking that was available for non-disabled people. So, it really was better overall for everyone involved for him to take one of the many empty disabled spots, than it was for him to take the closest non-disabled spot that he could find.

Awesome! 💜

[@philip5798]

The irony of my amputation is that I lost half my left foot when I got hit by a car driven by a disabled person … 🤦‍♂️

[@seaninness334]

One of the few videos where I struggled with the audio. Enjoyed the content very much but had to enable the captioning... Which was struggling too. "Wait. You live in Colorado?" Heh.

[@AnnikatheAmputee]

I'm so so sorry about the audio. I wish I could've fixed the echoes and reverb more. I am definitely going to get a mic in the future to help prevent this problem. I'm so sorry

[@seaninness334]

@@AnnikatheAmputee No problem Annika. You and Jo were great. Looking forward to next time you two get together. Not sure why but I really like the channel crossover videos no matter what the subject matter is. Best wishes.

[@JudyCZ]

@@AnnikatheAmputee Hi Annika, could you maybe add subtitles to your videos? You know, to make them more accessible? :) It would be extra beneficial for this one, I was struggling to understand a bit too. Thank you.

Sorry, I was a little drunk, and a little out of line. It won’t happen again, I’m sorry!! I love your channel by the way.

[@mechadrake]

people with hidden disabilities are everywhere. Sister had a friend in uni who has husband with very bad hand. but you would not be able to tell, because it is intact. and he hates using disabled car sticker or card. almost got fines for parking many times. Also people with bad joint conditions or fragile bone diseases can get disabilities here, not visible in any way if they have no recent trauma or bad flareups. Lots of stuff is like that.

[@rebecasabourin1318]

I get that you can't use that spot its for disabled people. I am disabled but you can't see it.

[@philip5798]

Annika do amputees associate better with others with similar level of amputation? For instance would you consider my partial foot amp as a lesser amputation and not relate? I recently lost half my foot in a motorcycle accident and was wondering if someone with a below knee would think less of it as it’s maybe not a “real amputation”. I’m struggling to find my tribe as I’m young and most partial foot amps are old. Finding and interacting with others in a similar situation is a way for the heart to heal.

[@jbbevan]

Next time you do it...and I think it is potentially very entertaining AND instructive....do it in a room that is not all wood and windows (carpeted room)...that's cheaper alternative than dual microphones....but even with 2 mikes all the echo caused by wood/glass would not go away. Just a suggestion. PS: in this case the overlaid music is also an interference not an enhancement. PPS: now that you two are on opposite sides of the mountain do you still stay in touch?

[@jonathanjaner1369]

Hello mga madam...how to cope really for everyday life being an amputee below the knee I am.i am really having a hard time and my frustrations are very deep...pls advise me what to do and how to cope with everyday living pls?

I really struggled with the sound on this vid. An echoey environment, very fast dialogue, and music all made it difficult to understand what was being said. Loved the idea, tho! 😁

[@AnnikatheAmputee]

I'm so sorry! I tried fixing the audio as best as I could but I didn't even think of how echoey it was until I started editing. Definitely a mistake I am not going to make again. I sincerely apologize

[@TheMags03]

@@AnnikatheAmputee no apology necessary - we only learn and improve by getting it not quite right in the first place! Happy days! 😁
