  • Come back in time with me as I took my leg on a farewell tour before amputation three months ago! I finally had the courage to look back on the footage, and share it with you guys today.
    Wondering why I had to have it amputated? In a sentence, I shattered it horseback riding at 13, had over 10 surgeries and procedures over the next fourteen years, and got to the point where I could barely walk and was in constant pain. Here's the whole story: • HOW I BECAME AN AMPUTE...

      I’m in a Facebook group for tib and fib breaks and about 40% of the women in the group got their broken legs from horse back riding I’ve been riding but after what happened to me I doubt I will ever try to get on a horse again so they face face and neck rubbies and treats I love horses they’re easily my favourite animal but I’m far too nervous already having metal permanently drilled into my ankle I’m glad you are still able to do the things you love ❤️‍🩹 I’m a year and 6 months since surgery and there’s still days when my hardware hurts but I also have fibromyalgia so everything hurts anyways . I have a titanium plate and 8 screws holding my fibula together and then2 long screws holding the tibia together I would have felt safer if they had put a plate on the weight bearing side .

    I highly recommend giving planned removal of body parts a farewell party. I gave my uterus a farewell party. There was nearly four weeks between decision and operation. I needed something to occupy my brain during that time. I invited a bunch of friends (including a trans-woman) and my younger sister (who had a hysterectomy almost a decade before). There was a trivia contest, lots of laughter and chocolate eggs.

    When I had breast cancer and they were preparing to do the mastectomy they asked if I had said good bye to the breast. I hadn't. I took the time for myself to say good bye to it (and then to the other one a couple of years later). It felt weird doing it, but it did help with my mental recovery. So yes, there is a lot to be said to saying good bye to a part of the body when you know that it is going away. You are very brave for sharing this. Keep up that positive attitude.

    I'm going through exactly this atm. I had a horse riding accident 4 years ago landed numb toes first and huge nerve damage and couldnt feel my foot at all. Forced to put pressure while they seen my ankle prove it could support me, they discharged me at 5 weeks saying I can ride again and walk fine.... with me saying how as I cant walk without falling as my foot was numb and had black toes.. still ignored throughout physio as the metatarsal heads pop through randomly, swelling due to exercises.. I've lost 33 years of padding on my foot.. my toes are not how they used to be or sit and now I'm in pain all the time, not just 1 pain, its burns, pulling swelling, popping, tightness, pressure, oh so much more, I've just started a diary. Then just as I get feeling back to a point I went for a trek last year slipped and broke both my main leg bones and ripped tendons off on my other leg..... so now different things pop up as I now have no good leg to compare what's feeling normal.
    Back to my first ankle and toe damage from 4 years ago, I now have numb toes to the point they knock on something and just fold or the bones lock up. Apparently normal. They feel extending my calf will help my ankle and foot pain, or fusing my foot.
    My surgeon and docs have ignored my pain even doing a unnecessary surgery to which they produced post surgical arthritis from it for me... yay... not.
    At the end of the day doc has said it's all in my head or we can amputate or fuse.
    Thank you for your story.
    I didnt know I was the only one facing this especially from horse riding.
    A weight has come off my shoulders.
    Good luck with all.

I had up to 4 chest tubes, spent time on a vent after both lungs collapsed. On the days I remember waking up grateful & telling my illness to F-off among other drug induced moments. Instead of part of my leg, they ended up taking the lower lobe of my right lung because the abcess I had really did a lot of damage.1a good sense of humor & saying really abstract nonsense will get through the day.

    While you were at that moment about to lose your foot.
    It seems like that you keep reminding yourself that everything will keep better no matter what you're going through, gosh this is the first video ever I've watched of you and I'm glad that I did.

But seeing how brave you were and accepted it, honestly brought tears to my eyes. You’re amazing.
