MY STORY //
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.

I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.

My husband did do some fighting and fight training before we met. I got into fighting myself and he trained me for a while. I loved it and really wanted to do at least one fight. However, like you my body just won't allow for it. I have a lot of neck problems and now a neck fusion, so getting hit in the head just isn't something I can do anymore. Still I loved it so much. I did a lot of sparing and even had a boxing bag in my house for a while. However, I even had to get rid of it when one of our moves wouldn't have allowed space for it. I miss it all so much and I am hoping to at least be able to get back to some bag training eventually.

I know the feeling of working twice as hard for 1/2 the respect. My entire high school career I played on the BOYS golf team. We did not have a girls team so I had to either play on the boys team or not play at all. Before tryouts I got so much crap from people, they wouldn’t even hide their laughs and snarky comments about me. At tryouts I broke the course tryout record for anyone who ever played on our team ever. I still didn’t get a lot of respect especially after I made the number one spot on the varsity team and my sophomore year I was named captain. Which I was the first sophomore captain in school history for ANY of our sports let alone the first female captain. I also would get side eye from golf course workers when I would ask to make a tee time and walk up the hard tees lengths (the farthest tees back on every hole) they would role their eyes thinking I was just trying to look tough in front of people and I was going to embarrass myself. Ya after the first tee shot they usually shut up. Several times I was completely ignored at golf stores or when I asked for help before I could even ask for what I was looking for and why they would take me to the women’s section. When I told them I needed men’s clubs (when you are at a high level like I was women’s clubs are not designed well enough to handle the force and speed of a golf swing) when I would ask for the men’s section I would get the slight eye roll. Then I would go to the demo simulator to try out a club and suddenly all the workers needed to come over and get something from around the area I was swinging. Basically one worker would go tell all the others that they needed to come out my swing and suddenly everyone was very busy over by my area. I was somewhat gratifying. But also very annoying. I won a men’s high school tournament in the number one flight (level) and I had to play from the men’s tees, I got not accommodations and the assistant coach for the team who didn’t like me conviwmtly forgot to call the results in to the local paper like he did after every single match. He was a total A$$ hat! The boys came around August of my senior year (08/2009) because I had made the Jr USA team for a golf tournament that was in basically our Olympics before golf was brought back into the Olympics. Apparently that was the thing that finally made them realize I was legitimate and I was not just doing this to get out of gym class or because it was the only sport I could make the team on because I would get an automatic spot since I was a girl. This was untrue, I had to make the team just like they did. Far and square. The boys on the other teams were always super cool! They thought it was so cool I played on the boys team and they would always treat me like just another player. They even gave my teammates dirty looks because they even saw how stand off like they were and how isolated I was. I was actually looking to go pro and was planning on trying out for the Olympic team for Rio 2016, unfortunately I had a pretty bad knee injury that never got better and I ended up having 5 surgery’s between 2006-2020. So my career was over before it ever got a chance to start. But I will never forget how much I hated being on the boys team because I would get no respect from my own teammates and girls in my school thought I just played on the team to get with boys (I didn’t even have a boyfriend in high school the entire 4 years) so I often thought about quitting but then I would win a tournament and I know how much it pissed the guys off so I stuck with it. Someone once told me (and I still live by this to this day) the best revenge you can ever get is by being successful. And that kept me going because I knew I was better and I did not want to give them the satisfaction of running me off the team. Sorry for the long post but your MMA proving yourself in a mans world story really connected with me. Thank you for sharing your story and for not giving up. You are such a warrior.

Jo, I trained Tae Kwon Do for 6 years with my kids until my knees gave out. I have been a big fan of MMA for years, although I still have trouble seeing the woman get bloodied. I don't mind watching Jui Juitsu though. That being said, I don't know your back story with your church, but I am a pastor of a fairly conservative church and it always breaks my heart to hear people's stories of being hurt in church. I grew up as a pastor's kids in the same denomination, and I definitely had parents who were and are really loving. I was fairly protected and saw my Dad and Mom really love people well and that has been my goal too. I hope you continue to find love and healing both physically and mentally in your life.

Yes this is so relatable, I do panda Kickboxing and traditional Kung Fu and when I fight (especially in Sparring) it feels like there's nothing else than the fight (or the form in Kung Fu). Also I'm the only girl at my gym and I still have to fight for the guys respecting me, especially if they're new... but it's so worth it. I'm still struggling with anxiety (I'm currently very thankful for the distraction, today was pretty bad) but fighting is the thing that really gets me out of my head and gives me a lot of confidence (also yes to the family aspect and YES to the "I can kick ass, I don't have to be afraid of walking to town by myself" aspect) . Awesome to see others enjoying it as much as I do!

I can relate Jo! For me it was the Brazilian martial art called Capoeira. What a life saver. You not only get the physical workout, but the mental break as well. If you are in the gym on the treadmill or lifting weights, you can still think about life and problems. Not so with martial arts! You have to think about your next move.

Before I bought my house, i rented a place 5 walking minutes from my work. Between the house and work was the dojo. I joined a traditional Karate organization. It is hard work and more hard work. I got beat up often and was afraid to hit anyone. Instructor taught me to look thru my gloves when the barrage of punches came and wait for an opening. I decked an opponent much bigger and faster than I was. Knocked him out cold. I cried so hard. I knelt down beside him and couldn't stop saying I'm sorry. I never cared about trophies or belt rank, and I'm not sure what series of events led to me signing up for the 8 year long classes. I only know that the experience was so impactful that all other areas of my life have benefited...like an overflowing cup. I was addicted to the feeling. My doc literally told me to stay away from there---no "exercise only" no kata's no nuthin---until I can regain my composure and get control of myself. I can't afford to get hit in the head any more---It's been tuff on me staying away for several years, screws in my neck and now the amputation and issues with my good leg (getting better slowly) soon I'll be able to stand (un-aided) without tipping over and eventually re-learn to walk. It's quite humbling. I know who I am and what I'm made of and none of it's been an easy road. I think many people never understand what it's like to push yourself to the limits of our beings. The spirit pushes us ahead when the body says I can't go on. Personally, I'd like to see more of your vids when you're showing more of your true colors. I appreciate your channel. Keep being yourself and the subs will show up.

Reminds me of fighting just to stay alive... having been cut in half twice and losing my left leg below the knee. I studied Martial Arts in my younger years and all of it comes in handy at times... but life is a war it seems to me. My girl firend died in February from bain tumors... got the call at 1:53 PM on February 7th from Hospice. They seem like Death Angels to me... life is a fight. Never ends... and in some Christain ancient books it states only a few have escaped life with out having to die... Enoch and Elijah. You mention survival survivor instincts... everybody I have loved it seems at times die all around me... never dreamed I'd live longer than my girl friend whom diewd this year. Fighting is all I know... on so many levels. Just to stay alive and at the moment my doctors for my organ transpalnts have been working to lower my Prograf levels because those meds cause skin cancer and I love being outside a lot even missing my left leg below the knee and riding mountain bikes and more. I think training in Martial Arts and I still practice it all and such... has helped a lot in surviving all the mess as well. I live alone and cut myself really bad one evening with a tuna can lid...started shaking really bad... and the "Prograf" levels are way off lately. But any way... wish you the best Jo... thoughts of things... losing April on February 7th, 2023 was a hard mental blow. And my organ donor was a ballet, lyrical and jazz dancer whom was murdered... by a drunk doctor of all things... and my girl friend was jealous of her sewn in my body as well... which was weird but she also got so bad she asked me on e time if she could get a brain transplant like I got organ transplants. Her mind was so gone... I walked out and lost it in tears. Nothing would save her issues... and such is life and death. Death wins eventually for the majority if ancient books are true for some maybe not... but not so sure about the story of Elijah and Enoch at times. Interesting... life is a fight for those I love and lost and a fight for myself to survive... every day it seems. My doctors will not even let me go back to work any more... that makes me angry as well at times how my body is so messed up but I do a lot more in my home and activities than many normal healthy people I know and to me that is interesting as well and a bit sad for all the life some have in health that really waste like a person I know that got hooked on drugs and lost an eye like an idiot... was so healthy until they got addicted to heroin and more... dumb stuff in my opinion... and that kind of thing for the fight for life... for those that do it they don't even derserve the gift of life when I think about it some days. You definitely do Jo... you never give up. I appreciate your videos and your battles with losing your leg and more and how you share it on the interent for those of us dealing with battles many could never imagine... pain and more. I studied Muay Thai with a guy from New York years ago...not deeply... I studied another form of Martial Arts... his naeme was Eddie and he played guitar in intro's for major bands in the USA and was a good time in my life having done that with him... and I used to live in Thailand as well when I wsa young... been all over this planet. Now I am settled and just survive and do a lot despirte what doctor's say and still alive even though I had a doctor teel me I should have been dead a long time ago... interesting how it all works... wish you the best and all your friends and followers on this place. Thanks for sharing your life online...

But due to scoliosis I have not managed it in recent years, but I really want to start again. because I like it very much. I have purple 2 belts. what belt have you. I'm also someone who does not look like someone who likes that kind of sport. I started training because your dad was one of the coaches so I felt safe. we also have a gym in the basement that we use to practice martial arts, so from time to time I train a little since dad is our coach anyway. For I was very shy when I was younger. I feel more confident knowing that I can defend myself if I need to. And I am from just outside Bergen Norway

You know, men tend to be more soft against women when fighting and I always hated that, so my solution was to show them what I was capable of. Then, once you are black belt they just respect you since the beginning because they think you are gonna crush them hahaha. What a good times

I guess I been never afraid or though about a KO. All my injuries were out of combat except one and it was totally my fault because I was too tired and I wanted to push myself too much.

Then I change to Japanese martial arts because they have less impact for my knees. We used different kind of weapons and weight was even less important than in taekwondo.

i admire you. i am in a dark place, just want to die. but because of social anxiety i can't do anything like sports anymore. my hope is that one day i'll gather enough courage to end my suffering (but i probably won't, since i haven't been able to do it for the past 6 years...)

I'm no doc, but a hair analysis will reveal imbalances in your physical self. We're made up of lots of chemicals. Discovering any deficiencies is a simple, painless and easy test. Don't trust a clown. Talk to someone who can perform the analysis. God Bless.

Ngl the way you describe fighting is how I feel about sex 😂. Not sure what that says about me but I've said 90% of what you said about fighting about lovin

Just cause you were in the gym while they were training doesn’t mean you were a fighter.

What are you talking about? She was training too. She fought men, just because she is a women doesn't mean she could not fight to the same level as a man. She wasn't on the side lines looking in. Did you even watch the video? 🤦🏻‍♀️

“My years as a female mma fighter”. Insinuating she was an actual fighter. Just cause someone uses the method for exercise doesn’t mean they’re a “fighter”. If she actually fought MMA, I retract and apologize.
