MY STORY //
Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
MY PROSTHETIC LEG:
I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.

So HAPPY to see you moving around. Dancing improvement can come later.😜
the first move they do is the charleston and its hard for most people with 2 feet and requires alot of ankle movement
Actually, it is a piece of footwork influenced by both a part of The Charleston and some pieces of footwork done in Tap. The piece is independent of both styles of dance that showed up in jazz dance classes in the early 1970's. Young folks were putting it into their newly invented dances starting about then.
The amount of joy this seemed to give you, brought me so much joy! Loved it!
You are, by far, the most fun CZcamsr in the history of CZcams.
Oh my gosh hahaha why thank you! 😆💜😊
You know what you've done now, Jo? You've managed to do something you couldn't even do before your amputation. Your dead ankle wouldn't even let you try to dance. But here you are having a blast, pain being the last thing on your mind most likely. On a graph where your mobility starts being charted from the day you decided to amputate it goes down for a long time, only recently did it start going up with your new leg(s), and finally, now the line on the graph goes to the highest point on the chart yet. Finally higher than where you started. Here's to another victory!
I'll post a video on my channel, with a small portion of it showing Jo dancing on the dead ankle.
@@jeffpearsall32 oh wow, I guess I'll stand corrected, anyhow, we know she was in more pain then.
It was at that concert, that I realized the foot was coming off.😖
So when you master that dance are you moving on to tap dancing?
This is awkward and so much cute and heartwarming c:
Hahaha awkward and cute and heartwarming are the best comments I could hope for 😂
Just woke up from a nap, and the first dialog in this video starts in the first second. I swear you just said "how do naked bodies do that?"
One day, Dancing With the Stars!
Literally a dream of mine. 😉 Like Amy Purdy! Her dances were INCREDIBLE.
David Goodridge Yes! Definitely! That would be so cool to see!
I got both legs but can’t dance better than you! ;) good to see you dancing, walking, jumping and smiling without crushes! You look gorgeous!
Yes we love you. I can’t dance and I have both legs. I just can’t translate what I see on video into instructions for my body to copy. Also I can never remember the steps.
Dancing is such a good way to get exercise. You did incredibly well, even if you weren't continuing to learn how to walk on a prosthetic. I'm impressed!
It's so nice to see you really enjoying yourself making these tiktok videos. It's also very nice to see your getting a lot more confident on your new leg.
I LOVED watching this! Seeing the pure joy on your face is such an inspirational moment! Sending love your way ❤️❤️
What is so cool about this video is you are having a great time and totally enjoying yourself and letting loose. Priceless!
I love this Jo. I love your inspirational stuff but it’s so great to see you so happy!
Oh, Jo. This was so great. I love, love ,love to see you so happy and smiling. I will watch as many silly dance videos that you can make. What a wonderful way to start a weekend !
And your comment brought joy into my life! 😊 thank you sooo much! 💜
I love the "walking-on-sunshine" jo 😉😉. You're so happy in this video and I love the high you're on at the moment. I'm so thankful for all the ups and downs on this channel. You're amazing Jo! You're so 100% human and open on this platform and it's refreshing. Now I gotta get on TikTok and follow you. ❤️
I absolutely admire everything you do! I'm sooooo glad I found your videos. You make me smile on my tough days!! Much love to you and your loved ones! What a blessing to have you around YOU ARE AN ANGEL! ♥️
Last video I saw was you going up the stairs and here you are now actually DANCING with your leg! I’m really happy for you! ❤️
That's pretty dang good jo I liked it and I would watch more love your positivity and confidence in yourself.
You did awesome girl! 💜
Yes, we love you! As one who can't dance to save my life, I am quite impressed. Mostly, I love your enthusiasm and sense of humor here. Well done!
This cracked me up! Keep rock'n it, Jo!
It's soooo good to see you happy and dancing!
Wow this is brilliant!! I’m sure you’ll get it soon. Keep doing what you love and thanks for brightening up my day 👍
It is great to see you dancing and moving and having a good time. Keep up the good work.
Youre amazing Jo, your videos always make me smile ❤
I’m totally there with you when it comes to being not the most gifted with dancing, lol, but it was so cool to see how much progress you’ve made since your last surgery! Woo! 💪💪💪💃🏃♀️
I absolutely love this video! Fantastic!❤️ I am beyond proud of you. Love you Jo! Thank you!
😂that was fun to watch. Got weird looks laughing out loud at my phone. Way to have confidence in yourself.
I can't believe I'm actually seeing the styling debut of Jo and Sunshine! O I am a HEP CAT!
You are so awesome. I wouldn’t even have the guts ever to dance on a video. Go girl!💃🏼
Jo you did great!! And yes we do love you ❤ also thank you for making me smile today 😁
That's just so cool and cute !! 😂💞
Love it !
You nailed it! I finally made a tik tok account recently, I'm so glad you're on there!! 👏❤️
Omg you rock! This is why I return to watch all of your videos!!!!
WE DO LOVE YOU, JO 🥰 It's soooo amazing seeing you dance on two legs. Can not believe how far you've come. Unbelievable cool that you can do stuff like this now! How bad did the leg hurt afterwards? Hope it wasn't so bad.
I love her videos because her energy is EVERYTHING!!! Beautiful energy for a beautiful person. 🥰
this was such a wholesome video i loved this :')
LOVE THIS! Super fun 😁 Thanks for sharing 👍💕
Your videos just make me sit here in silence smilin ear to ear. Yes go follow her on Tik Tok. Keep bringing these TT vids!
Aw goodness! Thank you so much Matt! 😃
Another awesome video Jo!😄😄😄
its awsome to see you have so much fun!! and isn't what tik tok is about????? have fun!!!
How does anyone dislike that? Don't be hatin'. She can dance better than me for sure.
Don't be ashamed.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!!!!! You GO GIRL!!!!
🤣my sides hurt, I saw the tiktok one and the 2 following vids. You're hilarious.
Still dancing better than me. I love it 🤣
Dance Jo!! Do what you love!!
Just can’t stop watching this!!! It’s so good!!!!!
You did awesome girl!!
I love the tiktoks sooo much! That one that got 2 mil + views was soo funny!
So happy to see you up and getting around now. Cute video. How is the leg feeling?
So happy for you x
We love you, especially when you make a fool of yourself dancing!
Jo you can do it. We love you.❤️
Thank you for making my day 😂🙃🙂
Excellent👏🏆
You are probably right about this being great rehab for your leg! I would join you in this endeavor, but I get my cardio workout just by styling my hair and/or putting makeup on. Today, I put a full face of makeup on for the first time in a year, and my heartrate went above 140 while I was doing it. Gotta love being a POTSY!
Amazing job on getting that done!! That’s such a big deal! I think that’s a huge achievement - and some serious cardio. 😉
A paralympian won dancing with the stars in France, dancing on a prosthetic limb, being a professional swimmer AND a below the knee amputee (well born without it ) ! Check it out ! His name is Sami el Gueddari
You go jo so happy you can do that
You did great Jo. Dance is great for the mind body and soul if you enjoy it. So keep dancing like noones watching. Even if we are.
You’re a brave goofball ! Dance on, Jo!!
I agree with D. Goodridge. My first thought was how do we get her on “Dancing with the Stars ⭐️ “???? Hey Jo every day your love of life with all that you have been through continues to make you shine and give inspiration to all who do or do not have all their limbs. As your cat 🐈 (quite cute) decided to butt in so did no my own little DannyBoy. He is an American Eskimo, a little white dog that looks like a small Samoyed who just loves to lay across my laptop like cats used to just to love to lay across the morning newspaper while drinking coffee. Anyway, much love and light to you on your healing journey. You are doing so much for your own peace of mind while inspiring those of us who deal with our own aches and pains. I am the gal who shattered my ankle and am considering a fusion. However, I continue to just walk through the pain and then stay off of it til it passes again. I used to love horseback riding and hiking, etc. I am now 57 and so glad I did those things in my late teens and early 20’s. So I get your story and how much you have gone through all while being truthful and not sugarcoating the details. Your honesty and your soul simply shine through on all of your videos. For that and being YOU, I wish you, Brian and all of your furbabies a fabulous holiday season. My gifts for the holidays show up each time I watch one of your videos - even when you talk about the dark side of chronic pain, etc. (I did listen to the song you mentioned about suicide, my own mother did when I was 17 years old and the song does speak volumes to those in pain or heartache of any kind so thank you for talking about it. My mom’s mental illness is what has continued to give me the strength to carry on, so your words meant quite a bit to me. See how much you do for so many of us?? Please do not ever forget!) You my dear shine like the stars and I wish you and your many loved ones a happy holiday season!! Much love and light to all of you in 2020!! Heather
Get it, Jo! 😂😎
We love you because you make a fool of yourself dancing
Haha I’ll take it! 😆💜
Don't give up ,you've taught yourself to walk take the next step ,good luck
I tried to get TikTok and since my phone is stoopid, and it isn't designed for Kindle, I am unable to access the App. I shall just have to watch you here. And, Yes we love you whatever you say or do. I speak for me when I say it matters not, I will continue to love you, my beautiful Internet friend. Period.
I love this so much omg
look at that... sometimes the wind carryies the clouds away?!

That is cool, have my blade made by Össur and it is really nice for dancing... I can actually spin on my amputated lleg... really cool, was a bit nervous first time I did that... LOL! Have a good day, wish you the best Jo. Thanks for your videos.
Your left leg looks so real?!??!?! Hilarious as usual.
This is SO. CUTE. And joyful I love it so much
Haha thank you so much!!!
Followed you on TikTok because of this video
I love you more for making a fool out of yourself in front of us!! (you’re not making a fool of yourself though 😚)
Do the Carlton with Cakes...
I hope you give swing dance lessons a try and report back to us. It's a great source of fun!
omg your leg muscles 😍😍😍 (not the metal one)
Not a leg to stand on 😂, but dang I'd watch you dance all day 👍
Honestly the Charleston is so hard! I have been dancing for a year and I just figured it out
Are you using the pin at the end of the liner system or the sleeve system?
Nice dear
Is you leg just atrophied at the moment? Great dancing by the way! 💖
Gymnastics next!
The last move they do is called an undulation or a body wave, depending on the dance style it's used in. since it's them, I'd say they'd call it a body wave. Of all the moves they did there, it's the one with the biggest ah-hah moment. When you first get it, you wonder how you managed to not figure it out. But I'll save the instructions for a video. ;)
So I met this women, about 40ish about a month ago, started talking to her complete stranger, ..... we both went back n forth talking for 5-10 minutes, I almost asked her number or something, but stopped myself .... when I got in my car & started it, I began kicking myself for not asking a number or name or anything ...... all the way home I kept thinking about her, She was on crutches & I THINK she had a prosthetic leg but not sure as I was so into what she was saying I didnt even notice. She said she had been in a bad car accident a few months before. - Ive went back to that same place like 3 times, same time but she wasnt there. ..... i felt that spark,that dose of endorphines , I thought about her for the next month or so & finally gave up. I just wanted to help her somehow & talk & hang out. The fact she did, or didnt have both legs did not matter. At all. - Odd comment I know but oh well.
"You love me right?" Haha, YES!! That was actually exactly what I was thinking during the whole video; Absolutely LOVE YOU!!
ahh beautiful
Don't give up
😎😎😎😀
Hello...footless , Joe......I am at your city came from thousands of mile far to meet you
👍👍👍！it is difficult for me to learn this dance.
BAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA
You look great - me on the other hand, I'm totally uncoordinated but have been dancing to the short promo videos for Body Groove - might want to check them out on CZcams for yourself. Great workouts.

You probably know better than I do but I find blades so much easier, especially when working out
