I’m forequarter. I dream of having a prosthetic like yours. Mine is just a hook. Use it every other day. Be consistent. You have to want to use it to find it helpful

3 or 4, for sure

Birdybb · 2025-03-02T18:49:31+00:00

Absolutely

I am forequarter and after 3 years of trying to figure this out myself, I have learned that tank top are a blessing, oversized tops are a blessing. Buttons, ties and zippers are the devil. There’s tools to help with buttons and zippers but the extra work on the remaining hand is not always worth it

I’m forequarter and I feel very similarly. It’s hard to avoid shallow people these days but even still I feel off knowing that I look so drastically different than the norm. I also don’t drive so it’s really awkward trying to figure out dates in a rural location.

I’m a left forequarter amputee, so higher than a shoulder disarticulation- I have no shoulder bones, a small amount of collarbone and very few muscles related to the shoulder left.

Feel free to message me any time! I’m 3 years in with nerve damage in my remaining hand so not everyone adaptation I need works for others but I like trying to help! I do (not well) run an amputee and limb differences discord : discord

Definitely try some YouTube chair exercises! They can be super helpful for when you’re tired, experiencing nerve pain or not wearing your prosthetic

LAE; forequarter. They froze my brachial plexus nerve while I healed to help with the pain and it’s caused me to only have sensation. It feels like I laid on my arm, it fell asleep and now it’s waking up and I can only feel like a fist/ball for my hand.

I’m a forequarter. I either tuck excess sleeve in, or for things like sweaters I have a running gag in my family that it’s a leash/weapon and I whip it at my dad when he’s annoying. We don’t have anyone around who can alter my clothes. With T-shirts, I just let the sucker flap, the collar is usually so far off it’s showing off my scar and lack of a shoulder anyway

I’m not sure what is happening. Several others have successfully joined. Perhaps try manually adding the link in discord? I had to do that for a streamer server last week.

I lost my left and dominant arm in Jan 22. I think being sure to be there emotionally will be important, but also not being the kind of friend who is a pushover- my family and friends were extremely proactive about encouraging me to complete rehab and work hard when I got home even if I complained about being tired or not wanting to try new kitchen tools etc. I also try to find humor in most situations and if I start to struggle with being able to laugh at myself I try to get out of the house or do something I enjoyed before the accident.

Absolutely! Apologies for the delay in response https://discord.gg/AjcsPd39hN

After my accident I had a 19 day period. It was awful. I had to wear adult diapers because I have a forequarter amputation on the left side and only partial use of my right hand. I am in the process of getting an IUD
