You guys have been making this decision even easier lately. I love you guys <3
Small Back-story: Cancer treatment cut off blood circulation to the bones in my ankles causing extreme pain when I walk. Doctors told me that one day they would get to the point that I wouldn't be able to walk anymore. Made the decision to go through with amputation and I'm looking at it as a quality of life improvement because I won't have to deal with this pain anymore. (Been dealing with it for about 4 years now)
TLDR: Ankles have been hurting many years. Finally decided to go through with amputation.

You can get some wicked neato prostheses that give you like a 10 foot vertical leap

Good luck OP.

Have them hook a usb controller to the severed nerve endings in your leg. Then plug a cord in and learn to control your computer with it.

They're coming out with some wicked prosthetics. I don't know if your medical insurance will cover them, but either way. Good luck OP!

I going to start looking into charities and other funding options to be able to get me a good prosthetic :) Thank you!

That's really the best kind of amputation to get. Enough skin to give a decent pad on the stumps, and we can make feet better than nature.

That comes out as kind of harsh, didn't mean for it to. I do hope it gets you feeling better.

It sounded nice to me.
boombaby16
I didn't take it as harsh! No worries :) thank you!

Why do you have to move states?
boombaby16
Because with an amputation I would not be able to take care of myself during recovery. :)

I hope it all works out for you.
