How de we get involved in this amputee coalition conference I’m a new amputee a little over 3 months from surgery
im a left bwk amputee, welcome to the club😊 I'm interested in your story!
Do you ever use crutches?
Do you ever use crutches?
Wonderful guy.
He really is!
❤❤❤❤
Hello
Hello
Great fun guys, I wish I was there, Greetings from Portugal (Europe, planet Earth, Milky Way and beyond, last time I checked).
Did they cast your stump when you got the amputation
the "in inside the home" this law is evil and Dehumanizing It MUST END.
I have a list of heroes and you people are going on it. 🤩
WOW, Tina! I had no idea how thoroughly you help people. BRAVO!!!
What an amazing interview and product! Thanks for doing this
Can you give some tips on using crutches?
Were you on crutches?
Do you use crutches?
I don't need help
That’s great to hear. Sadly, you’re in the minority though and many do.
To trump, we’re nothing more than an “Inconvenient Embarrassment.” And to quote him, “Why don’t they just let us DIE?” LET THAT SINK IN. TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED.
My ultimate fantasy. A beautiful, sexy SBK Amputee.
Praying for your full recovery and healing!❤️🙏
Thank you so much!
After 5 cancer chemo journeys and radiation, my bone density is not good. I now have an osteoporosis in left hip joint, both knees off center and I get charlie horse in my right foot on good leg at night after walking all day. Triple scoliosis too.
I do go to massage therapy and chiropractor plus exercise in the pool
That sounds really tough! sending love your way!
God bless you Forever and God bless your family Forever
❤❤❤❤
This is our 5th year
This group provides such an invaluable resource and service for amputees. God bless
So glad you think so ❤
First annual?
5th annual for our group
I absolutely loved the conference! Enjoyed meeting so many awesome people!
I was able to buy a iBot on eBay, and I'm looking forward to using it instead of the wheelchair the VA issued me. I asked them for an iBot but they denied it and issued me an Alltrack R3 which gets stuck on me property in the countryside.
I have the same situation. I have an Amy systems center wheel drive all track three it’s such a piece of crap in every way. I can’t believe this company made such an awful unreliable chair. I’ve literally replaced every thing on the chair probably multiple times. Good thing I have good insurance otherwise if I don’t the repair bills would bankrupt me looking to get the new Ibot when they come out with power positioning Waiting on FDA approval apparently looks like it’ll be life-changing. Hope you have the best of luck finding your IBot .
Much love
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Let's gooo
Great job!! ❤
thank you for sharing your journey🤗 it’s nice to hear from others who are going through similar experiences I had a below knee amputation last year due to ongoing issues with my left foot and not being able to walk on it for years I made the decision to opt for an amputation and it’s honestly the best decision I have made I live in New Zealand and we are blessed with such an amazing healthcare system that my surgery and the rehabilitation which I’m still currently going through is all covered by our government here😌🙏🏽 again thank you for your great tips and advice as I’m sure they will come in handy not only for myself but for many others💗
Here’s my list, from the most helpful to less: 1. Take a shower/bath, clean the extremity. 2. Leave the extremity exposed. 3. Massage the extremity , and the nerve pathway. 4. Some pants (sweat pants) cause a lot of pain. Others (jeans cotton) do not. 5. Use flushable wipes (charmin) on the toilet seat. 6. Put odor eaters foot powder on the extremity. 7. Rubbing alcohol. 8. Concentrate on other activities , so the brain is unheedful of the pain. 9. Just goes away after a few hours .
Ty for sharing!
love un you❤
love you❤
love you❤

WOW! Tina you ROCK!
so grateful 🤍

Awesome. This is life changing for him.
This was amazing Tina, thank you so much!
As someone embarking on an elective amputation, the biggest hurdle is finding a doctor who will advocate and listen. Navigating this is such an emotional/mental challenge. It’s a seemingly extreme option, but it is as simple as I would like to walk my dogs up the street without horrible pain. Amputation is the only chance at “full” mobility and improved quality of life. Finding doctors who truly get this is so difficult. I literally had one go into a sarcastic comedy routine making fun of my assertion that an amputation would give me these things. That descended into a tirade that he would never consider pain reduction, mobility, and quality of life as sufficient reasons to amputate.

This is awesome... I have done extensive reading on current reaearch studies about this topic... really interesting... I ferment my own foods now. I keep what I call an "exo stomache" as a pet. With the keto diet... implementing high fiber fermented veggies like asparagus, Brussel sprouts and cabbage may negate any negative impact a keto diet could have on the microbiome. Intermittent fasting, with a keto style diet with home made fermented veggies implemented is where I am at.
Sounds very promising!
