  • This is my below knee aka BK / Transtibial amputation story, all the troubles physical and mental and how to overcome all of it. Also my new mission in life, I hope everyone takes me up on the challenge at the end. Leg amputation is not something that is easy and brings a lot of issues with it, just like anything in life you just have to find a way to move past it.

    I seen his life change and the dark side he speaks about. I thought I was going to loss my son. Yes Matt is our son. But he has come out on the best side of him. His attitude is so good now. I have my kid back. And so proud he is helping others now.

    From someone who’s taken off many legs in 34 years working in an OR,your very brave about it,it’s very unusual for someone to have a choice in wheather to have a BKA.I’m glad you’ve opened yourself up to helping those that haven’t adjusted to losing a limb.

    With this video being 3 yrs old I don't know if you'll see this but thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I am literally sitting in a hospital bed 3 days post op from BK. Today was my first day out of bed. It was hell and I cried but I made it. Thank you for I really needed to hear this today.

    Thank you for sharing your "amputation story". I too was in the Army. My tour of service spanned from the mid 1960s Vietnam thru and including Desert Storm. You survived and are winning the battle with self. After seeing so much over the years I thought I could remain "cold" when I walked in to Walter Reed. However, one day I was picking up meds and I was walking behind a slow moving wheel chair. As I passed the chair I first thought, wow he needs a haircut. Then I saw her. A young woman who lost both legs to a IED. I sat on the floor in a corner of the hall way and began bawling. I will never forget her. Once again I salute you. If YOU ever need someone to talk to let me know brother.

    Wow your story is almost exactly the same as mine. I am 9 days out from my bka. I had a minor foot surgery that wrecked my foot and had 2 surgeries to try and fix it and developed CRPS. I chose to have my foot amputated as well. I felt emotionally everything you described exactly the same as you. Wow it’s like you just read my story. Everything is the same except the initial injury. I have wondered if I have ptsd from all of this. Thanks for sharing your story. I am trying to adopt that same warrior attitude you have to overcome everything in my way, and turn into a superhero for my family. Thank you for sharing your story.

    You need a “I’m only in it for the parking” t-shirt, or a “One foot in the grave” one. I find nothing puts people at ease or opens them up to asking productive questions more that a little humor.

    I read somewhere that the phantom feeling you are having is because they caught off the nerves, but a surgeon can also reroute te nerves back into the upper leg and then the phantom feeling wil go away...I hope you can still get that operation. Keep the good spirit inside yourself alive man..what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

    I had two amputations on my right leg in 2018 due to diabetes. Acceptance, Gratitude, and a support system is what got me through it. I am an above the knee amputee now. (protect that knee!) I can definitely relate to that moment of epiphany when acceptance hit you. Later, gratitude, made me thankful for still being alive.

    There’s nothing more attractive than a man showing his feelings and not being afraid to talk about things and admit you are human, a person and feel. I am a recent BKA from Charcot foot as a result of a wound from diabetes. I told people in the past few years if I ever have to have that done, they might as well just bury me bc I’d never ever survive it. I was wrong. I am dealing with things much better than I ever imagined. I was just bouncing back from losing my Mom to Stomach cancer the year before. I’ve been through a lot in the past few years but I feel like things are looking up. Thank you for your video. It feels nice to not feel alone. 💜💜💜

    Thanks so much for your story! I haven’t experienced amputation but have been depressed with physical issues the last couple of years. Your statements of noticing good reminded me what I am not looking for.
