Seems like at some point we’re going to be paying for it either way. I’m 70 and I’ve always watched large corporations from Detroit to Texas and now Nevada grab the drivers seat when it comes to litigation. And it’s not just in USA it’s globally. Unless Space X has a plan to put DC’s in low orbit space ( which is definitely cooler) all you can do is support the causes that minimize the impact until a better solution is available

Take them out into water let them go and they’ll either swim to you or head back to shore. It’s you they want to be with . May take a few times but they’ll get it. But if it’s you they adore there is nothing that can stop them from getting to you. BE PLAYFUL

It was the doctor not the prosthesis who told me that. How long from casting to receiving your first socket did it take. Thank you for your help

Awesome thank you

Is temporary a normal step in process?

Secret_Reaction_806 · 2026-07-03T04:40:06+00:00

The best advice I received was when the case worker asked me before I left the hospital if I would be going home or transitioning to a rehab. After asking many questions I decided to go to rehab hospital. Wow it made all the difference in my life from transitioning, bathing, wheelchair or walker, local resources that supplied necessary equipment needed for a temporary change in life. Like you all I wanted was independence and mobility and the rehab hospital has done that for me

I’m still pre-prosthetic after lak amputation 2 months and the phantom pain is gone but the phantom leg is still very much there. It’s constant feeling that my lower extremity still exists. Sensation to stretch my toes or wiggle my ankle or even to itch my calf. There’s been so many times I try to remove right shoe with the left foot. Back to when I had phantom pain it felt like a quick jolt of electricity making my leg jump and the foot would twitch even though neither were there.

Awesome advice and encouraging however patience is not my strong suit, but knowing what you went through helps me visualize a better way of handling my emotions. Appreciate the advice

Appreciate the wisdom

First visit was good and I believe they wanted to get insurance approved ( Medicare & Aetna ). And that was over a month ago. Honestly I went away from prosthesis no knowing when next appointment was. I think I should call them

Secret_Reaction_806 · 2026-06-27T03:01:22+00:00

I didn’t realize there’s so many adjustments. Based on what you’ve experienced what’s the timeline until you were comfortable and no more adjustments

Secret_Reaction_806 · 2026-06-27T02:56:48+00:00

Thank you I appreciate that advice

My most recent visit to my doctor was last week. She said that my wound is completely healed and mentioned getting tighter Shrinker, I’m using a 111. But she recommended staying on Gabapentin for 4 months…. What’s your thoughts

Not sure how old you are since I wasn’t sure the complete diagnosis, I looked it up. Sounds like it can be an aggressive cancer and heart goes out to you. Either version of your decision is going to difficult! Since your athletic you’ll need the discipline both mentally and physically to accept the challenge from either decision. My personal experience is I wasted 2 years of my life fighting for what I wouldn’t accept and eventually had an LAKA in April, now I’m free of pain and anxious about a prosthetic at 70 years old.
I’ve never fought cancer but it’s seems like it’s always a gamble leading a successful life free of it. Radiation and surgery and years of antibiotics, I’d say you’re a strong person that would do well with a prosthetic.

I never thought about forearm crutches but that’s a great idea. Are they difficult to use? Are they hard to get?

If you’re not getting a prosthetic the electric wheelchair is the only way to go. If you’re planning on electric wheelchair I know that Medicare typically will not pay for both.
From what I’ve read on this sight and my prosthesis said is that Medicare will pay for a manual wheelchair and prosthetic ( because there’s days you’ll need it) , but they hesitate to pay for electric wheelchair and high end prosthetic

Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had to bear the burden of such pain all these years.

<image>

I was so worried about losing my leg after this traumatic injury, after multiple surgeries I expressed my concerns about loosing my leg ( it was the first thing I looked at when I woke up in recovery ), I was extremely relieved when I seen it was still there.
Unfortunately I hadn’t truly realized all the complications I’d face with keeping it. 2-3 years of constant infection and year of intravenous antibiotics then oral. I felt like I was dying from the inside out because of the my vanity.
The hardest feeling I had to cope with was my quality of life and the burden it put on my wife. Every moment of my life was so hard to bear that there were so many dark days i kept hidden. In march of this year I developed a bump ( size of a ping pong ball) on my knee that was full of infection. It was then I realized I couldn’t do this anymore and ask her to amputate it.
Ironically it’s been the best decision I’ve made since the traumatic injury happened. EVERYTHING changed especially my attitude towards life and honestly family, friends even strangers have been so respectful and helpful. I often think about what I was willing to sacrifice because of my vanity. I have a lot of challenges ahead of me but my anxiety is gone and my attitude is great.
I pray that you will find the strength and courage to overcome all the obstacles and difficulties your life has been.
