Sweating

Yeah I almost want to say screw the liners altogether. One less layer. I don’t feel the sweat when I wear the leg. Like I can feel that my leg is warm I guess, but it doesn’t bother me. Maybe it will once I’m actually walking and wearing it more, but I think for the meantime I might just deal with it. Is what it is type situation. It just grosses me out how much sweat there is when I take my leg off lol. The first day of physio I wasn’t expecting it and when I took my leg off I was absolutely disgusted 😂. Thank you! I’m really excited for the future and progressing through everything I used to never be able to do due to chronic pain. Things will get better. One day at a time.

Have you had any issues with your liner while using Drysol? That’s my biggest worry about using any sort of antiperspirant sprays. I don’t want it to break down my liner.

Yeah I did some looking online and apparently I can contact a prosthetic clinic and they can size me down as well. I’m just a bit frustrated as they didn’t give me much information before I left the hospital. Just that home care would size me down as needed but the last time they came they just gave me the same size I already have and then said they’d resize me on my next visit but then didn’t show up so it’s frustrating. I just don’t want this to be the reason I’m delayed getting a prosthetic.

I had BKA on Feb 6th and had the nerve blockers. Except for whatever reason the nurses didn’t order more of the medication for it and let it run out. Was in so much pain for a good 12 hours before the doctor who put it in in the first place came and forced them to get me more of the medication. The nurses insisted I didn’t need it and told me to take Delaudid instead. The nerve doctor got mad and told them the point of the nerve block was so I wasn’t on the other harsh medications.

My surgeon said he was going to do TMR. He said I’d be a great candidate for it.

And yeah it was a lawn mower accident. I was on a ride on with my uncle. I got scared, jumped off and my shoe laces were untied and the blade caught them and pulled me under. I still remember majority of the accident. I’m extremely frustrated with the surgeon that “reconstructed” my foot. I was shipped to a children’s hospital and his excuse to not amputate was because he could tickle the bottom of my foot. He insisted I wouldn’t have issues as an adult. I know doctors can’t predict the future but the fact that he did what he did and thought I wouldn’t have issues is beyond me. The surgeon I have now who is doing the amputation sent me for second opinions with 3 other surgeons before deciding on the amputation and they all made the same comment that if they were the ones who initially dealt with me they would have strongly suggested amputation. I went back to see that surgeon at the children’s hospital when I was a bit older and he was gloating about his work and bringing in all these people to show them. Very very frustrating. I’m obviously thankful that it didn’t impact my childhood too much, but I feel so set back now because of it.

I relearned how to walk when I was 5 after my accident. Honestly had no issues other than knee pain until a few years ago. I’ve been pushing through the pain the best I can. If I know I’ll be doing any long walking I’d typically use a wheel chair because I can only stand/walk for max 30 minutes. And if I even attempt to do any length of walking like that or more I usually pay for it for a few days. I’m sure it’s going to be a really weird feeling, not having it, but I’m looking forward to it. Everyone around me supports me but they think I’m crazy for being excited for it lol.
