Grocery shopping - one crutch while pushing the shopping cart with the other hand, or two hands on shopping cart with crutches in the cart? Im curious about dif ways to do this. I have both legs but cant put much weight on my knees, and one knee is almost totally useless. My current shopping solution is a wheelchair with a handbasket strapped to my lap but id love to work up to using a full shopping cart somehow.

That happens to me too. I can't even get any sleep because of it. I am ALWAYS having a conversation with someone that's not even real about a topic that's so random, all the time. When I go to sleep, I lay on my bed, I don't ever sleep, I'm just there laying with my eyes closed, but in my mind, I'm somewhere else, totally different person, talking to someone, doing something, and... there's this guy that I like... however I have never even talked to him 😳, he doesn't even know me... I'm always imagining him reacting or just watching me, and so I'm always trying to impress him, be it talking to a imaginary friend about a very intelligent and interesting topic, playing the got theme and/or some pink floyd song in the piano, just because I know he likes got and pink floyd, doing some kind of acrobatics, or just messing with wild animals (usually, some wild Australian spider), because I'm interested in that and I think the guy would find me very interesting too... or just talking about geography, because I know he likes geography and so do I... but, the truth is that, we are not even from the same country and well, he's way older than me... well, just 5 years, that's good actually. It's just all in my head, in my imaginary world. I waste HOURS AND HOURS of my days and nights with this... 😓 I'm, actually, suffering because of it. It's not a good thing. It really is not. I'm 17, by the way... :(

I just can not explaining how meaningful watching your video has been. I am also a Sarcoma warrior. My tumor was in my left humerus. I was fortunate to keep my arm for 7yr, until I tripped and broke it at work. 25 rounds of radiation made it incredibly easy to break. I had surgery to fix it but almost a year to the date of the surgery, the hardware broke. For the past 6 months I have met with specialist, read medical articals and watched KZread videos on different limb salvage surgeries. Everyday I weighted out the pros and cons, but amputation made the most logical, emotional, spiritual and physical sense to me. I didn't want to live my life afraid of hardware failure or breaking my bone again. In 2weeks I will have my left arm amputated right below my shoulder. It's still crazy that I am even typing those, but I am confident in my decision. Watching your video was very validating for me. Thank you

Spot on Josh, great video! I feel it all comes down to the patient and/or parents not being educated on amputation. Along with "some" doctors having a perception that choosing amputation is taking a loss and that it must Only be a last resort. The story about the boy you mentioned happens way too often. I have met so many amputees & limb salvage who waited too long to amputate and the cancer had spread. My amputation wasn't from cancer but from an infection. Either way amputation can be the best outcome for quality of life. Because of my leg amputation, I have had so many positives that have come out of it and has opened up so many new doors. From me moving to where I now live, to being able to meet my husband and having a beautiful son, to even the job I now have! Amputation is not the end of the world, only the beginning 🥰 Can't wait to see your Halloween costume for this year!

Stuff for nerds 👇 📚 Here's a bunch of medical studies comparing limb salvage and amputation: www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5esw25lo5sasg93j0skla/AEbSPByJlkWr-O1G4t8Aj70?rlkey=oem2a046zs20def34oi26so73&dl=0 🤓 A DEEP-DIVE INTO ANOTHER ANTI-AMPUTATION FLAW IN SOME OF THE MEDICAL RESEARCH: I don't want to throw shade, so I won't identify which research I find flawed, but several studies I read make a serious mythological error. We know that anywhere from 10 to 30% (depending on the study) of those who have limb salvage will eventually have an amputation due to complications from the limb salvage (e.g., infection, break, failed revision surgeries). This is often called "late amputation." To me, late amputation is clearly an outcome of a _failed_ limb salvage. Yet, several studies include patients with late amputation in the group who had initial amputations. That means they are removing those with _failed limb salvages_ out of the limb salvage category. So that misrepresents the statistical outcomes for those who have initial limb salvage. This choice further compounds the problem by lumping the failed limb salvage patients in with those who had initial amputations. This negatively skews the amputation data. Late amputations are associated with a litany of negative physical and psychological issues (see Rougraff et al, 1994). Melcer et al. (2027) separate late amputation from initial amputation and found along late amputation far worse wound complications, pain, other injury, PTSD, substance use, and more. The effect is major. In the two studies, I found that disclose their choice to include failed limb salvage with initial amputation, those with late amputation compose a _third_ of the amputee category. One out of three! Thus, these studies cannot be relied upon as an accurate measure of the outcomes for initial surgery.

📚 If you’re watching this video, I’m guessing you’re far into your research. So I will use many technical terms here under the assumption you’re already familiar. Further, since you have the time to be on the internet mulling over this decision, you’re likely facing a tumor situation. Trauma, by contrast, plays out quickly. So if you're a trauma victim, by the time you watch this, you will have likely already had your first surgery. But hopefully, there are also some insights here for those facing amputation because of trauma or diabetes. 🤷♂️ Obviously, I’m not a doctor. This isn’t medical advice. Just anecdotes and personal opinions based on my experience with a tumor.

I had the limb salvage and in five years I was really struggling to walk, pain, and a lot more but I really tried to enjoy my puberty (I was 11). At 16 the osteosarchoma came back in my soft tissue, so my mom and I made a really quick choice: the amputation. I was freed from incredible and horrible pain, from that heavy weight. Also had a disarticulation and i've used crutches ever since (now im 32). I cant belive I survived so much, but it was the right choice. Thank you for this video.

Thank you for being so honest about this, about your experience and about the choices presented to you all those years ago. And about your decision. I am not an amputee but wanted to know more about this choice presented to individuals after reading former US Army Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson's biography, Tip of the Spear. I first heard of Mr. Hendrickson through his non-profit of the same name as his book, which is currently helping demine parts of Ukraine. What I didn't know until I read his book was that he nearly lost his right foot after stepping on an IED during his military service in Afghanistan. Basically, his foot was left dangling. He was offered options and took the path of surgical intervention to reattach his foot (it was successful, but with a long, grueling, painful recovery of more than 18 months). I honestly don't know how he made it through everything, and seeing the choice put to you at ten years old, I don't know how you made it through everything, either. My Finnish grandpa would have called it "Sisu", so that's what I'll throw out there. Both of you have inspired me so much with your enduring spirits, your "Sisu", thank you!
