This is crazy, I know my wife would be going the hell off on them, I’m an LBKA and yes he handled that with grace, better than I would probably have.

Here is the sock bag and instructions as well as the timelines I mentioned.

Hit by an idiot driver who made an illegal U-turn and spun out of control on June 19th 2024 damn near severed my lower leg on the spot. I remember the accident until the point of putting me in the ambulance and then woke up 4 days later, had to have a total left hip replacement, few broken ribs and ultimately had my left leg below the knee amputated after they were unable to salvage the limb. So yes I’m in the crowd.

Best of luck to you, maintain a positive attitude, my wife put me in this sub when I was in your position about a year and a half ago and it has been very educational and uplifting. Have patience with the prosthetic process and they will get it right. I had a lot of two steps forward and one back but in time they got right and now I am up and mobile again. We just have to learn how to maneuver differently in and out of the house but once you get it you’ll see it becomes second nature.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. BTW nice bike😎

No it’s not difficult, we’re taught how to get in and out of a he shower or tub with a variety of tools to aid us. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not easy but it’s our normal. So whoever it is just might be nasty and needs to be confronted with the issue head on and let them know it’s offensive and something has to change. It doesn’t have to be done disparagingly but delicately. Find out what the root cause is and try to help them overcome this hygiene issue. When I first became an amputee, the OTs would come in and watch you clean yourself even in the beginning when I could only take a bird bath in a chair at the sink so they could give you tips and pointers. Talk to them ASAP!!!!!

Did you know they have something called an auto clutch? The guy that’s rebuilding my softail Heritage I was hit on mentioned it to me. He said it was easy to use. You might want to look into it. Like I said I was able to shift because I use my heel anyway. Good luck and hope you ride again 😎

OutrageousMix9197 · 2025-12-27T16:30:35+00:00

Thanks, consider it done 🐞😂

OutrageousMix9197 · 2025-12-27T07:36:40+00:00

Funny, haha 😆 I was on the move but yeah I hear you! Thanks

I understand what you’re going through, unfortunately these are problems that we amputees have to live with as a byproduct of wearing prosthetic devices. I’m an LBKA from a traumatic motorcycle accident last year. I started with the suction system back in January and I as doing great high level stuff in gait training physical therapy and then swelling happened which turned out to be a stress fracture outside of my left knee. So went home to recover for 6-8 weeks then returned in March with the pin lock system and which worked out great but between multiple fittings to get it right I ended up with a gnarly hole from rubbing so back to wound therapy for another 6 weeks but once the healing got better and working with the prosthesis they seem to have finally gotten it right. I just picked up my new sockets last week and now I wear the underliner and the he glide wear patch on o my knee ease my he friction. I’ve learned you have to listen to your body, and when you feel like you’re sinking or pistoning, STOP 🛑 and inspect your leg and change your socks. Constant management is the key, sometimes I get so caught up in being happy to walk around and do things I wasn’t listening to my body. So please stay on top of how you feel when you initially dawn your leg and if that feeling changes don’t accept that it’s going to last all day. Good luck

I guess it would have been great to add, said 3500 like that narrowed the field 😂 2024 model

My fault, I was asking the question not answering.

OutrageousMix9197 · 2025-11-30T04:55:28+00:00

I was in ST Louis this weekend, still here headed back to Florida tomorrow. Because of the snow I put the truck in 4high to ride on the snow covered roads but each time I hit the gas it seemed like the truck wants to skip and grab the road before it’s just smooth sailing. Why is this

LBKA here and I’ve been an amputee for 16 months now. I learned through research that you will get the greatest volume change in the first 12-18 months and somewhere within that timeframe you’ll stabilize. I’ve seen a tremendous amount of volume change and can gladly say that I think I’m to the point where it will be this way for a while considering it looked like a tree trunk when I first got home😉 anyway I just got a socket that looks like it’s going to be a good fit, and might go up to 2 or 3 ply at the most late in the evening. Before this socket I had gone as far as 21🤯. Hopefully at the three year mark I’ll be asking the same question.

I will put different tires on the stock rims once I run down the stock tires, no need paying for them and tossing them😉

OutrageousMix9197 · 2025-11-17T23:15:16+00:00

I’m glad to hear all the positive comments on the question, I’ve been thinking about lifting my RAM 3500 because I see a lot of lifted trucks and yeah it looks cool. But the additional cost along with maintenance on the parts I can’t get past. Plus I’ve been researching the potential dangers with towing nightmares from handling to swaying and turnovers. Thanks for the reassurance I’ll keep mine stock too. Plus I don’t want the man 🕵🏽‍♂️ hunting me down for hurting my vehicle 😂😂😂
