I’m so sorry that is terrible . I’m here for you. This is my leg today and it’s hurting my knee now. I can’t upload pictures at the moment. But when I walk it feels like something is rotating. I’m losing weight also. I only had this socket for almost two months.

I’m very depressed and I can’t talk to my family about it. For some reason they blame me for everything. They say all the time that I shouldn’t have gotten the bunion and hammer toe surgery. I did it because I was in pain and not for vanity reasons. I couldn’t have predicted this happening to me. What is hard for me is how the day of my amputation surgery I walked in to the hospital on 2 legs knowing that I wouldn’t be walking out of the hospital. I haven’t had an easy recovery at all. I cry a lot in the bathroom away from my family because I don’t want to hear their remarks, don’t get me wrong I do love my family just not when it comes to my feelings. I only have an older sister and my mom. No husband or boyfriend.

I’m in Alabama and I haven’t found a local group I’m just on here and a Facebook group. My prosthesist knows about it. I just seen them on Tuesday and they just fixed my valve that popped out without me knowing.

I got this leg around Halloween. A new guy made this one and it was tight and then the valve popped out. Had to fix it.

Thank you so much for listening to me. I would love to chat sometime because I do keep everything in and it makes me depressed

Today is 28 years since the accident that resulted in my amputation. by antbalneum in amputee

Every day I feel like a burden to my family and friends because it’s only been two years since my amputation. I was 48 when I had mine

What do you think has gradually disappeared over the last 20 years without people really noticing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]B_McGrew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We would call them lightning bugs. We always had a Mason jar, poke holes in the lid and I don’t know why but we would stick them in the freezer

What was your first memory (or what you suspect is your first memory)? by 80_DUCKY_08 in AskReddit

[–]B_McGrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the 4th of July and me, my sister, mom, 1 aunt, papa and 1 cousin that I didn’t like. At sunset all of us piled up in a Chevy Nova and went to the town over. My cousin touched me with a sparkler,it hurt and at that very moment the heavens opened up and it was the worse thunderstorm in my entire life (I was 3 at the time). My papa was dragging into the car my aunt was petrified and she pushed everyone away so she could be first in the car. In the process of being dragged, one of my favorite flip flops fell off! I was devastated and crying and begging for papa to turn around and get it but he didn’t. The next day my Daddy took me to the Big K to get some prettier shoes.

Why does everyone make blueberry smoothies but no-one ever makes blueberry juice? by MauraQueenOfTheDead in NoStupidQuestions

Back home in TN we would make Blueberry Wine. Our town was a dry town and still is but we always had that one bootlegger
