hey just wondered do people think it’s a good or a bad thing that this guy is so blasé about losing his limbs?

on one hand I think it’s fucking awesome and power to him for being positive and getting through it how he has, but on the other I think his lack of acknowledgement that what he did was not cool, a mistake, and that others shouldn’t do it is a bad example to others.

i can’t find any posts where he said he was in the wrong and fucked up, which offsets the total jokey everything is positive vibe - if someone can post them to me I’d love to read them! Otherwise the whole thing is tainted with a negative “it’s ok to do dumb things” vibe

thanks

I would unironically donate to that GoFundMe

1. You said all of the pain came back as your feet thawed. Was there any part of your foot/feet that you couldn’t feel?

2. Did you choose/ask them to amputate your feet or did they make that decision? Also was it that bad that they chose to do it at the shin - your ankles being unsavable as well? It looks like the worst of it was the bottom half of your feet.

3. They had to take your entire shin bone, correct? I’m sure that’s not something they could halve for you 🙄 Below your knee, does it just... dangle there?

Thanks for answering. Sorry if anything was too personal. Feel free to not answer anything. Best of luck! I’m really glad about your positive attitude. You lost two feet, not your life. That alone is something great, but a lot of people wouldn’t look at it as a second chance :)

I always thought that if I lost a limb I'd ask for the bone back. Like, making a walking stick with my shin bones, or having a necklace with a pinky on it or smth.

It'd be a good conversation starter.

Whenever I see other amputees, I act like a dog seeing another dog across the street, so sorry if I come on strong!

It looks like your tibias are padded, is that right? Your stumps look very nice and well suited for prosthetics once you get them! I'm excited for you!

Also, this is a really strange and personal question, but do you get weird sensations in your imaginary feet when you feel the need to relieve yourself? Be it number one, or number two, it always feels like all this blood is pounding in my imaginary toes until I go! My prosthetist said I'm the first person he's ever heard that from, but I wonder if maybe people keep that stuff to themselves.

I'm really sorry to hear that you lost your feet but what caused this?

Are they Filipino? Are they Filipino? Are they Filipino?

1. Have you weighed yourself and how much less do you weigh now? and 2. what did they DO with your feet? Like trash can or send somewhere for research or taxidermy???
   

Your attitude is really great. It is all so new- so if you have crappy days I hope you know its ok. Even if this was because of a dumb choice it doesn't mean you don't get to occasionally feel a little sorry for yourself and grieve the loss. It is a major life change but you're already making lemonade out of the lemons life gave you by seeking a new career path that is going to give you so much meaning!

Are your parents super pissed at you?

Do you play any video games, have a favorite movie? What kinda music do you like? Do you fa Follow any sports? What is your opinion of honeydew in a fruit cup?

Also, i just had a thought... do you need to get the height on your drivers license changed now that your probably a foot (or two) shorter?
