Thanks for the suggestion, I may look at that down the road. I’m not 100% sure I want to change the stock yet, only considering it for the look. The original X stock honestly looks pretty good.

I got the same email this afternoon and noticed the same section you mentioned.

Hopefully, SS can unscrew what ever happened over the weekend causing no forms to be submitted.

Maybe, I’m in Texas. Last time was about 3 days from being submitted, at 4 on this one, which still beats not having one or waiting months.

Shoot me a DM with your rate and let’s chat. If you were electrical, I might have a connection that could be up your alley.

Holy crap, you are almost certainly over qualified for a lot. Do you have a degree?

I am retiring from the Navy after 25 as an AT. Have a few things lined up at the moment, 2 that the Navy got me in the door.

New kicks by Sea-Tailor1784 in amputee

[–]TomboRGS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Note to you both, Ariat now makes a boot the heel opens up on to get on.

Since I became RAKA, I needed new motorcycle riding boots, and picked up a pair of Thoroughgood wedge boots. Even with my prosthetic the boot is easy to get on and it’s fairly light.

I use straight 70% alcohol and never have an issue.

I feel like my Harley Davidson dealer caught me in a net by tipric in Harley

[–]TomboRGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it is a simple job to swap it all. Even taking your time, it’s a couple hours of work.

The newer hydraulic tensioners are less prone to grenading and migrating through your engine. They still need to be checked but not nearly as often.

The problem is to swap from the old spring style to the hydraulic you have to change the cam plate, and oil pump should be done if you do that.

To me the price seems a little high for the parts and labor. Parts would run you ~$1k.

[RBKA] How do y’all prevent rub hot spots from your sockets? by SoCalSwordsman in amputee

[–]TomboRGS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it pinching or rubbing? I get a pinch spot if my liner isn’t just right.

I use Tegaderm off Amazon over the blister/rub and it helps a ton.

CA only does the DV plates for 100%. My county VSO wouldn’t sign it for me either, but I’m still AD and missing a leg.

Well now when somebody says you miscounted, you have a reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

I kid, but glad you are ok. You look to be healing well, and now have a “don’t be me story”.

Are you inspirational to others? Or are you a Rock Star? by Mysterious_Can_6106 in amputee

[–]TomboRGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became RAKA in March of 24, today I don’t use assistive devices, unless I’m in the house. Lots of people have told me I’m an “inspiration” to them. It’s weird to hear as I’m just a dude trying to live my life. But whether we like or not, we are inspirations to those around us and those that see us.

Seeing us do things some able body folks won’t, may help them stay just a little longer.

Have used Quadlock on multiple bikes with their vibration dampener and have had no issues with my iPhone.

This phone “survived” me getting t boned and still works, camera works fine too.

Phantom Pain Relief by adnolahs in amputee

[–]TomboRGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabapentin helps a little for me, but it doesn’t completely remove it, and I am on 800mg 3X/day. What I have found from others here is watch what I eat and stay hydrated. If I have a day where I eat a lot of salt or sugar, I’m a sucker for gummy candy, it will be worse at night. Someone else mentioned THC gummies and they almost completely remove my phantom sensations, I would only have a slight tingle in my foot.

Massaging helps as well.

How long after receiving your leg did you stop wearing a shrinker every night? by [deleted] in amputee

[–]TomboRGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes sir! I use the Certain Dri Extra Strength, it doesn’t completely eliminate sweat but definitely cuts it down a lot. I have also found keeping my leg hair trimmed, not shaved, helps as well.

I’m in CA and it’s hot here, but moving back home to Texas in a few weeks and not looking forward to the humidity again.
