  • Come back in time with me as I took my leg on a farewell tour before amputation three months ago! I finally had the courage to look back on the footage, and share it with you guys today.
    Wondering why I had to have it amputated? In a sentence, I shattered it horseback riding at 13, had over 10 surgeries and procedures over the next fourteen years, and got to the point where I could barely walk and was in constant pain. Here's the whole story: • HOW I BECAME AN AMPUTE...

      I’m in a Facebook group for tib and fib breaks and about 40% of the women in the group got their broken legs from horse back riding I’ve been riding but after what happened to me I doubt I will ever try to get on a horse again so they face face and neck rubbies and treats I love horses they’re easily my favourite animal but I’m far too nervous already having metal permanently drilled into my ankle I’m glad you are still able to do the things you love ❤️‍🩹 I’m a year and 6 months since surgery and there’s still days when my hardware hurts but I also have fibromyalgia so everything hurts anyways . I have a titanium plate and 8 screws holding my fibula together and then2 long screws holding the tibia together I would have felt safer if they had put a plate on the weight bearing side .

Or would you run, and jump, and do some awesome air kicks while you still could?"

    When I had breast cancer and they were preparing to do the mastectomy they asked if I had said good bye to the breast. I hadn't. I took the time for myself to say good bye to it (and then to the other one a couple of years later). It felt weird doing it, but it did help with my mental recovery. So yes, there is a lot to be said to saying good bye to a part of the body when you know that it is going away. You are very brave for sharing this. Keep up that positive attitude.

    I love your positive attitude! I found humor got me through my darkest hours/time when I spent 10 days in one hospital 20 days over Christmas & New Years 2019 in another fighting off a really bad lung infection on top of pneumonia. I had up to 4 chest tubes, spent time on a vent after both lungs collapsed. On the days I remember waking up grateful & telling my illness to F-off among other drug induced moments. Instead of part of my leg, they ended up taking the lower lobe of my right lung because the abcess I had really did a lot of damage.1a good sense of humor & saying really abstract nonsense will get through the day.

And the first time I went to the emergency room they said it was nothing (bc I went by myself) but the second time I went back for the pain bc I couldn’t do anything without crying from the pain, me and my aunt went to the emergency room, so she made then take more tests then they did. found out what was wrong and took me in for surgery the next day bc if I waited like 3 days longer I would have been paralyzed.

    I highly recommend giving planned removal of body parts a farewell party. I gave my uterus a farewell party. There was nearly four weeks between decision and operation. I needed something to occupy my brain during that time. I invited a bunch of friends (including a trans-woman) and my younger sister (who had a hysterectomy almost a decade before). There was a trivia contest, lots of laughter and chocolate eggs.

But seeing how brave you were and accepted it, honestly brought tears to my eyes. You’re amazing.

    I'm going through exactly this atm. I had a horse riding accident 4 years ago landed numb toes first and huge nerve damage and couldnt feel my foot at all. Forced to put pressure while they seen my ankle prove it could support me, they discharged me at 5 weeks saying I can ride again and walk fine.... with me saying how as I cant walk without falling as my foot was numb and had black toes.. still ignored throughout physio as the metatarsal heads pop through randomly, swelling due to exercises.. I've lost 33 years of padding on my foot.. my toes are not how they used to be or sit and now I'm in pain all the time, not just 1 pain, its burns, pulling swelling, popping, tightness, pressure, oh so much more, I've just started a diary. Then just as I get feeling back to a point I went for a trek last year slipped and broke both my main leg bones and ripped tendons off on my other leg..... so now different things pop up as I now have no good leg to compare what's feeling normal.
    Back to my first ankle and toe damage from 4 years ago, I now have numb toes to the point they knock on something and just fold or the bones lock up. Apparently normal. They feel extending my calf will help my ankle and foot pain, or fusing my foot.
    My surgeon and docs have ignored my pain even doing a unnecessary surgery to which they produced post surgical arthritis from it for me... yay... not.
    At the end of the day doc has said it's all in my head or we can amputate or fuse.
    Thank you for your story.
    I didnt know I was the only one facing this especially from horse riding.
    A weight has come off my shoulders.
    Good luck with all.

      i had a horse riding accident... two actually.. one the horse Smokey Joe was scared of noises in bushes... he wheeled around and i fell off holding the reins with my head dragging on the ground and my foot in the stirrup... i was dragged about a mile then i decided to let go of the reins and he stamped on my chest.. had a horse hoof print scar for weeks after on my chest... dont suppose it did permanent damage but i do have asthma now... second accident different horse - Summer Shade... he didnt want to go thru mud and did the same thing.. i came off & landed on my thumb & bent it back.. I can no longer stretch out my left thumb as much as my right thumb like it cant go at right angles or more from the finger.. not major injuries just thought id say...

    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    There are invisible ninjas,
    Cutting onions in my room.

    I lost my hand almost 13 years ago. Lately, I've been mourning... it happens every once in a while. But I needed to see this. I don't know if you'll see this, but just know... you will get half-price pedicures if you choose to get pedicures :P

    I love that you did a good-bye tour for your foot! Complete with autographs from your friends. I totally would have done the 'cut here" line too, same dark humor we have. XD

    My uncle has had both of his legs amputated. During the holidays, he wears lights on his prosthetics. I love the positivity he brings to our family, you seem like a very positive person too! 💖💖💖
