Hello you! ! I am an amputeeOG who is a survivor of a traumatic boating accident, or hit and failure to render aide. Becoming an amputee in 2001 has been a journey with many setbacks, but having the will to succeed, and move forward with God’s grace I am able to live my best life. I am hoping my hand amputation story will give strength, educate, and help people know the life an amputee. I am aspiring to give some insight into what it’s like being an amputee. I could have never imagined I would wake up one day, and have a story to tell about having an amputation. One is not finally happy, but able to find happiness along the way.

Ouch! I’m so sorry! Mine was motorcycle. I don’t know if I could have made the decision to amputate. It was made for me. But I didn’t realize it for a while even though they kept on telling me it was gone. My brain/soul couldn’t accept and hear it yet. That must have been so hard for you and your mom. I still have trouble really LOOKING in the mirror even though it’s been 30 years! I so understand. Also my grief came in brief waves of uncontrollable sobbing. And then my body/brain would disassociate and I couldn’t remember why I was crying. It was like it was so painful I knew I could only grieve in tiny amounts at a time. So many hugs to you!

[@CristieGrey]

Wow.. Your story is difficult too.. The ache of grieving sounds like how I felt when I really realized what happened. It was so tough. I can remember wanting it back so bad! It was even hard for me to see pics of my old self, Thank you so much for sharing this with me. There’s something about the feeling when someone really understands.. I am thankful you stopped by, and many hugs to you-Cristie

Great video. I had to have my right hand amputated two years ago due to bone cancer. I am 18 now and just graduated from high school. I have about two thirds of my forearm now, and last year I was fitted with a prosthetic arm to help me do thing easier. My arm is a myoelectric one, with a split hook, which doesn't look very lady like, but I find it is very functional. Life is good, and without my amputation, I would not have lived very much longer. I am used to people staring at my arm, but in the beginning it was tough have people doing that. Keep up the great videos, they are so helpful.

[@CristieGrey]

I am so happy to hear from you Debbie! Congrats on your graduation, and for pushing forward with your life. It is definitly a big change, but it sounds like you are rocking it! Thank you for encouraging me, and for watching!-Cristie

Je suis encore avec les yeux mouille après avoir regardé votre histoire si dramatique , vous savez raconter d, une manière que j,ai ressenti votre douleur et votre chagrin et même après de longues années que cette histoire est arrivée vous êtes toujours sensible à évoquer ses moments difficiles de votre vie , mais vous m'avez toucher profondément avec vos souvenirs dont les pires instants son encore présent dans votre mémoire , j, aurait voulu être près de vous pour vous aider dans cette nouvelle vie , je constate Aujourd'hui que vous êtes une personne très courageuse je ne vous connais pas encore aussi bien que je voudrais mais depuis ses 4 jours que je regarde vos vidéos et photos j,ai remarqué très vite que vous étiez une personne très différente de celle que j,ai connu dans ma vie , mais je sais que mes sentiments pour vous sont pures et je ne cherche qu'à trouver une véritable amie si vous acceptez mon amitié , la vie reserve parfois des belles choses entre deux personnes qui sont honnêtes en vers l,autre , voilà cristie je vous laisse a vos occupations et à très bientôt j'espère Yves 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇨🇭🇨🇭❤️♥️❤️😘

Thankyou for the link. I've just subbed. That was such an amazing video to explain everything so succinctly and clearly, all within a short space of time. Certainly carried me on your journey, and I'm so glad to see you're much more confident about things these days. I can certainly understand how it's like a bereavement. X

[@hollyhaberdubinsky5164]

Oh my. Sweet lady. Thank you for sharing. “Move forward”. You made a choice and over time met the new you. Your smile is contagious. I have a genetic limb difference on both my hands. My mother was upset when I was born. My father said “you want me to get you another baby with perfect hands?”. It jolted my mom. She didn’t want another baby she wanted me. My mother helped me growing up. We are not very religious but she said “God made me special”. I didn’t feel special I just felt like me.

[@CristieGrey]

Thank you so much for this comment! Your father’s words.. WOW! I love it.. It seems like your parents handled the situation.. I can see how special you are❤️-Cristie

Thanks Cristie for sharing your story. We take so many things for granted. This wakes us up out of that slumber. You never know what you can pull through. It seems we all get tested. Losing a body part, takes it to a new level , in my mind. Enjoy the Spring ! ray k

Christie, I'm still looking forward to you having a GOOD experience with a new modern prosthetic that fits, that's comfortable, and that helps you in daily tasks. I hope that you can find a way to get some financial help (from a foundation) on that so that you can get the best available. Good luck.

Just out of curiosity, what is your take on the NEWER bionic hands like the i-limb, Unlimited Tomorrow(s), etc.....?

Wait, I need to watched this video all over again. They cut your arm without your permission. Wooh. But on the other side in the rule of emergency case your family can decide or the medical team depends how bad the situation is. If it saves your life, its time to decide for good. Salute for your bravery and you are amazing person. It is not end of the world. Stay strong okey. Hugs for you.
