Attention Fellow Amputees!!

Attention fellow amputees! (Traumatic, congenital, leg, arm, doesn’t matter, ALL AMPUTEES)


A lot of you know that I have a youtube channel called AmputeeLife where I talk about my life and experiences as an amputee. 

I have a decent following now, and a lot of the following are amputees. I get asked a lot of questions from other amputees like, “How do you do xyz because its difficult for me” and I try to respond to all messages, but I get so many that it is difficult.

SO, I want to make a video called “Life Hacks for Amputees”. Here, I will give all of my little tips and tricks to make life easier.

Since I want to be as helpful as possible, I was wondering if any of you would life to contribute your own little life hacks and tips for me to use in my video.
I will give you credit, and mention either your name or your tumblr url, whichever you prefer.

Please help me out here guys. I can remember how difficult life was months ago when I was still new to this and didn’t know the tricks I know now. I’m sure you remember that time as well. By making this video, we may be able to help anyone who doesn’t have it figured out yet! Fellow Limb-Lackers should stick together. 

Reblogs, replies, and messages in the inbox are all great ways of submitting your tips. Also, include what you’d like me to give the credit too in the video.  

New socket and liner! Check it out. 

Rate, subscribe, share, and make suggestions for new videos. The more suggestions, the more videos!

THIS IS THE STORY OF  MY ACCIDENT. 


Recently I was contacted by a girl named Reagan who had heard my story. She is on a committee at her school that is trying to get people to pledge to never text and drive. She asked me if I could make a video describing my story so she could play it at her school. I agreed.

This is the video. I made it on a separate youtube channel other than the one I use for updates because it really made no sense to put it on that one.  

Hopefully this answers questions about my accident, but I sincerely hope this resonates in  those who watch it. I don’t want my accident to be in vain. 

Enjoyed the warm weather today.

I still feel confident in dresses. I’m beautiful in my own way. That girl is my roommate, Courtney. She takes great care of me.

It’s really not so bad, you know. It could be worse. I’m not afraid anymore. I know everything will be fine. 
I was worried it would look awful, but its not so bad.

Yeah, I am in my underwear, hate on it. I give no fucks.
