 Things the average person might not consider about being an amputee. Okay, so one of the most low key annoying things about losing my leg was the fact that I can no longer sit crisscross applesauce comfortably. Like I can kind of get close to it, but because of where the socket on my prosthetic leg cuts into my knee, I feel the metal digging into the back of my knee, which is not a great feeling. For stability, my prosthetic socket ends right here, but it does mean that bending my knee any further than a 90 degree angle becomes very difficult. And so we modify. I now tend to sit like this, instead when I'm on the ground, I have no idea what this position is called, because it is more comfy.
