Just a short video showing how easy it is to take off and put on my prosthetic leg. It was just a typical prosthesis at first but I spray painted the metal pole black.

  • Doesn't your leg get all hot and sweaty wearing all those socks, liners and silicone sleeves?

  • @mdxgy yeah it gets kinda hot but i lost most feeling in the stump so i don't notice it too much, but it doesnt really get sweaty.

  • You make it look so simple and easy, Mike .. thanks

  • @mapleclose thanks. it is pretty easy, but its hard at the same time. it's more a mental thing than anything else..

  • @Crew9t Thanks, JohnWilliam, for replying ... yes, guess the physcological aspects (mental thing) takes a lot to accept and get used to .. certainly practically you have mastered the putting on and taking off ...

    How is your mobility?

    Why "retired" so young? Not permanently I trust ..

    Take care and I wish you all the very best as you adjust ...

  • @mapleclose i walk with no limp what so ever. in jeens, you don't even kno i have a fake leg. a lot of people are surprised the first time they see me in shorts cause they've knonw me for however long and never knew i was missing a leg. and yeah the retirement is just temporary. i'm planning to open a mechanic's shop eventually.

see all

  • @Crew9t I want to open a shop someday as well. Perhaps someday we might be business partners and/or co-workers.

    I'm currently working on rebuilding an '86 Honda Civic, which hasn't started in over a year now (belt snapped resulting in bent valves), and I need to replace the head on it,

  • how did you loose it in the first place?

  • that is very cool i think it looks great its seems like you can walk run and do everything normaly

  • Awesome--thanks for posting this! I am enjoying and learning from all your videos.

  • @Crew9t That is MOST impressive .. how long you been an amp then?

    Car/motor mechanic is that? Wish you well
