 Hello everybody, let me know if you can hear me for sure. So this is super last minute I just came home from hanging out with some people my Brian's away doing stuff And I just thought I would hang out with you guys for a little bit and chat about the day I went up to Denver to a limb loss event April is actually limb loss awareness. Oh hi chipper soul and Alex shenanigans It's great to see you guys here and Ford boy Interesting comment and Raven wool. Thanks for being here guys and perfect and Ethan and Alexa Awesome, I'm so glad you guys are all hanging out with you here with me tonight so like I said, um, this is like super last minute, so I'm super psyched you guys are all here and Zarina, let me know if I said your name, right or not and Katie and Katie. Hey guys So like I said, um, I was up in Denver this morning At the amputee coalition Lim loss awareness event like specifically for amputees, but also just for everybody. Hi Jim or gin gin There we go. Definitely shout out for you And hey Ben. Oh, thanks. Thanks for encouraging people to hit that like button And so I thought I just got to hang out and chat with you guys See everybody was doing and then talk a little bit about talk a little bit about that If you guys were interested in some things that I learned from the handy dandy informational sheet Which I actually didn't know you would think being an amputee and You know kind of being in the public eye for this stuff that I would I would know a thing or two about it being Lim loss awareness month, but I definitely didn't until like this week Hi, Juliana and Alex shenanigans Oh It's full as a new Subscribers, thanks so much. I really appreciate you being here and Juliana. Thanks so much So, let me know what you guys have been up to today. I would love to hear as we dive in here, so I Was I've only ever been to like one event where there it was like when I was in a room full of amputees and it was right after My amputation like I was still in a wheelchair. I think I was like right out of the cast sort of been like two weeks out of surgery and You would think it would be like super comforting to be surrounded by people who were going through the same thing that That you know, you were to some extent, but it was kind of weird and back then because I was still like adjusting and everything and so I was excited to go today and It was a much larger event because the amputee coalition is like this huge national organization they do awesome awesome awesome things and So Brian and I went and I felt the same way like it was so good to go It was so good to get education But it still felt like slightly Uncomfortable even though I surrounded by people who were going through the same thing so it was it was really good to go and get some more education, especially about like phantom pain and like really more kind of what behind what more of what is behind causing that but Um Excuse me great public speaking there, right I'm just gonna keep continue coughing here But I thought this was kind of cool. I put these You are on late for used East Coasters. That is true I am going live pretty late for anyone on the East Coast. You guys are like two hours ahead. Oh Thank you so much to Anna. Oh my gosh. You're so sweet Okay, so you just super chatted me and that was all that's seriously so nice of you My real name is Jordan. So I go by Joe But it's not like a secret that my name is Jordan My best friend named me like nicknamed me Joe when we were like 13 and I've kind of gone by it ever since So I really really appreciate that so I want to go through kind of some of some of this like just like Tidbits like facts that I thought were kind of interesting Thanks for liking my name. I appreciate that like for instance orange is the official color which is cool and Also, like like for instance if you log on to their website, which I'll put a link in once I'm actually like done with a live stream April 11th. Did you know that 36% of people with limb loss or limb difference? Which I guess is another term for it again learning things every day Experience depression. I was like, oh, I actually had no idea and I was talking with a friend earlier today We were all out getting dinner and he was like, how many people in the US actually like don't are like missing limbs And I was like, I have no idea till I pulled out my handy-dandy sheets and realized that that question was actually answered for me here Well, it was answered if I could find it Essentially, well, we'll find it eventually we'll come back to it here. Oh, yeah, April 26th Did you know that 3.6 million people will be living with limb loss by 2050? so we're not quite there yet, but Yeah, so it was really it was really interesting to go. I went to a couple educational sessions one was about like strength training and and stretching and nutrition, which I was like that's something I need to get on top of considering I will be Getting in the prosthetics process again here pretty soon and then I went went to one specifically about Pain management, which was also really cool so Yeah, so it was just It was good and then we got to like the lunch portion of things and I went and got lunch and I was just like I this is this is a little overwhelming and so we kind of we headed out after that But I'll have it like the official video up on it a little bit later So let me go see it go go through some of your questions here. I have my computer up here so I can actually Actually read them Ethan yeah, that's more people than I said it's more people than he thought would be you know amputees me too It's not like you see people with you know limb loss or limb difference walking down the street all the time Or hopping down the street. I can make that joke cuz I miss my limb You know very often, but but there are a lot of people out there who are missing parts of their bodies Which is kind of crazy for me to realize Let's see here It's full says one thing that brought my attention to your channel is that you weren't afraid to tell people Anyone your story or show people your leg. Oh, thanks. I really appreciate that. I find I've inspired them to make a vlogging channel That's really cool. I think that's awesome. I wonder do any of you do any of you guys actually make videos of your own I have found it to be So helpful in like expression and expressing myself. That's really awesome. I'm really glad that you're doing some vlogging there That's that's good for you. Seriously Um, oh Joanna, you're so sweet. Thank you so much for that again That's a do I really really really appreciate that that's very generous of you Joanna, thank you so much Um Edda asks oh Edda, that's awesome. I see your comments all the time. Have I ridden a horse since my accident? Yes, I have actually My physical therapist like the first physical therapist I had after the initial accident when I was like 14 Told me cowboy up is a phrase that is used a lot which is basically means like when you fall off a horse you get back on the horse and So my physical therapist told me to cowboy up You're so sweet Joanna. You're just you're blessing me so much tonight. Seriously. Thank you So she has a YouTube channel too You guys should check out Joanna's channel. You can see her in the super chat. She's highlighted in green there Yeah, so after after the accident I was in physical therapy and my physical therapist really encouraged me to like get back on the horse to like face That fear and so I did I rode for a little while Honestly like long enough to make sure that I wasn't scared to do it to like get over that fear So I wouldn't be scared of horses and then like life circumstances changed and everything like that And then when I went to college I joined a horseback riding club, but it was real expensive and I was really poor So I didn't get to do that too long and then a couple years ago I went to a therapeutic riding center that we have in here in the area that helps a lot of veterans especially like PTSD and things like that and also helps people with physical disabilities and I volunteered there and I also rode to there because I was having a lot of issues with like Migraines and balance and also my ankle and so they helped me a lot too. So I love horses I cannot wait to get back around them. I'm really looking forward to that soon. I would really like to ride again That's something I'm really looking forward to Not a Lee says her mom recently lost her leg below her knee. Okay, and oh, I just lost your comment. Here we go and Your videos have helped. I'm really I'm really glad that they've been helpful but I'm really sorry that your mom's going through that and You know, I've not been on the care like the caretaker side of it But I imagine that's got to be really hard seeing someone you love Go through this like going through that kind of a loss and I and I hope she's doing okay. I hope you're doing okay Let me see her Joanna is just like you're just being way too sweet to me tonight. Seriously. Thank you so much It is appreciated and more than you know, especially right now To pursue I ride English. I've written English and Western I rode at Western most recently, but I ride English for the most part Like that's what I actually learned to ride I did some like hunter-jumper stuff not like shows or anything like that because again I was pretty broke and that takes money to do usually but I just like I just like trained, you know jumping jumping horses Mia ask what causes phantom pain actually I'm gonna get to that first but first I'm gonna answer Megan's question Megan's worst question. I know you love big dogs, but do you love small dogs? Yes I love small puppy dogs too. It's just I like there's something about big dogs. That's really comforting to me if that makes sense They're just and I know they're just like good for good for snuggling with and they also made me feel safe Like I got Sadie after a lot of like the the trauma that I went through and then like I added monkey on because she was adorable And Sadie needed buddy and then we got Sophie because I love German shepherds and she needed a home, too So I think we'll probably mostly have big dogs Brian Surprisingly, I mean Actually before I tell you guys guess what kind of dog Brian would really like to have keep in mind Brian's like a Real badass guy like he's super into jiu-jitsu and he's really strong and like yeah He's like he's hardcore, but just guess what kind of what kind of dog he would like and I will reveal that in just a moment So oh You guys are not oh so many stars Two people guessed it. I'm just gonna reveal reveal it right away. Yes. He wants a Pomeranian He went he wants a pom-pom those little fluff balls That is the kind of dog that that he would very much like which ironically I think fits his personality Really well, so going back to the question about Fannin pain I Fannin pain is such a funny thing. I think because Like it's not all in your head, you know that's something I kind of used to wonder about well before I had but well like years before I faced any of this stuff I was like is it just something that's like in your brain because you think you're like still there or whatever It's it's literally your nervous system sending signals so your nervous system is essentially like electrical wiring right and When you lose a limb your body is still sending signals and it's like trying to reestablish that connection like it wants to feel that because your body is like programmed to be a whole body and So as it's sending those signals those electrical signals don't necessarily differentiate between trying to find sensation and between pain So sometimes like right now I can feel my foot Completely the foot that doesn't exist the foot that's been gone for months. I feel my toes I feel what position they're in even though they aren't there, which is a bizarre thing to feel and say but then The electrical system in my body like the nervous system being what it was and being what it is It will it just keeps firing to that area even though doesn't exist anymore And you'll get really bad pain as a result of that I want to do a video kind of more in-depth about what causes that with more scientific explanation than I just gave Yeah, so So that's basically what happens. It's basically like electrical signals firing in your body and you just get crazy Zingers out of nowhere Essentially Let's see here Random girls having surgery soon and there's an 80% chance of her arm Being amputated in case of surgery failing. Oh my gosh You must you are going through a lot right now and I'm really sorry that you're facing that that's got to be really really scary I feel like the unknowns are sometimes like the Most terrifying like if you can even just like no, this is gonna happen or no This is gonna happen. It's easier to deal with but when you don't know what's gonna happen That's really scary and you're really brave for facing all that and I really hope that it goes smoothly and that they're that that you that you're able to keep your arm and that you know that there isn't any pain I don't know your whole situation, but good luck. My heart is with you and my fingers are crossed for you as you head into a surgery See here Ethan asked will phantom pain always be there? Yes, probably chances are it was really bad Towards the beginning like the first six weeks were hell and then after that it's gotten a lot better But I'll have like just random Fits of pain and they only yeah last for like 30 seconds a minute So I'm really grateful for that that like it's not it is not as bad as it could be that is for sure for sure Miguel hello back Jazzy girl asked if there are different kind of prosthetics. I'm looking into yes And that was actually part of the whole event. I went to today There were like eight different prosthetics companies there, which is weird because like most states only have one or two Colorado We're pretty lucky in Colorado that we have so many to choose from And I was able to meet the prosthetist that I will be meeting with on Monday At the at the kind of conference thing today and I was able to chat with him and I really like him He's kind of a younger guy. I I've known of his wife for a while. She's a public speaker and I I feel like we connected pretty well, so I'm looking forward to meeting with him And I am open to different kind of prosthetics, you know the leg that I did have old Christopher Walken Seemed like it was gonna work really well, but I also want to stay open to different possibilities Whatever is gonna work the best if that makes sense so whatever We come up with Yeah, I'm definitely open and and and what I'm really holding out for is is a running leg I cannot wait until that day. That's what I'm really Really looking forward to and I hope it's sooner rather than later. It'll be months It'll be months away. Maybe a year away at a minimum, but That's the kind of stuff I got to see today Like there are like a lot of running blades there that I was like, oh, this stuff is so cool, you know So it's it's pretty fun Um See here Alyssa odd question was I interested in technology? Prosthetics like the materials and the function design of design of them like the tech stuff That's not something that that's super interests me. I'm more and I'm more interested in it just like Working if that makes sense Jeff hey Jeff, it's good to see you here. I know Jeff in real life. He's awesome. He's a good friend of ours So there there is not a bolder scrambling leg I believe they make something that's basically like just like a spear basically it's like just like a stick and That can work pretty well for rock climbers a lot of rock climbers climb with no prosthetics because they seem to think that that's the easiest way to do it and I love rock climbing and I can't wait to get back to that And so I'm definitely looking into options for that But I think I'll probably just be climbing without a leg But we'll see we'll see what happens Alyssa and Dustin hide back Pumpkin boy, oh says he freaked out when I when I hearted his comment. Well, of course, of course, no problem Joanna says people missing limbs are more motivated than I am in session inspiration. Oh gosh. I Think that um, I'm sure that you are more motivated than I am in other areas of your life You know, I think it's kind of a balancing act for sure George asked if I've heard of a one-legged tamp dancer. No, no, I haven't I'm not sure if that's a That's a I haven't I'm gonna have to look into that that sounds really cool Because dancing is like the third thing I care about I care about Jiu Jitsu rock climbing and dancing I'm a terrible dancer. Just so we're all really clear on that Zero dancing skills, but I love it. It makes me so happy And I really hope to take some like actual dance classes when I'm up in up and moving pretty well So Alex asked about when I'll actually be able to return to martial arts Probably not until the winter At the earliest just because all like everything in my leg needs to be really really healed Like there needs to be no chance that like if I fall that things aren't fully healed I'm gonna break something or something like that. So we have to be really careful with it I was initially told six months after surgery, which would be now But now that I had to have this other surgery and all of that it kind of complicates it and makes it take a little bit longer So I'm learning a good deal about patients and net. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your super chat That's awesome. She says hi Joe. I love your videos You've helped me so much. Well, I'm I'm really glad and really honored and I'm thank you for watching Thank you for supporting me. I really appreciate that Logan asked what I need a special prosthetic for martial arts. No I won't wear one at all because jiu-jitsu you're it's like grappling So you're you're like you're rolling around with people your hand fighting you're on the ground It's like submission based and no metal can be involved So I'll just be wearing like a leg liner or something like that if that makes sense Let's see here Ethan asked what books I am reading right now. So, oh Oh, I had it right here I had the book I was reading like literally right here until I put it over there right before I started this But I'm reading a book right now called American pain I'm listening to an audiobook and I'm reading it, but it's all about the rise of the opioid Crisis epidemic whatever you want to call it. I feel like those are such buzzwords But it's like from the story perspective of like like kind of like the people behind it who did some really shady stuff For the record if you haven't seen my other videos. I am I have a huge huge heart for anyone Like I'm on pain medication like I am on narcotics. I have nothing against it But but the way that the pharmaceutical industry pharmaceutical industry has handled narcotics is Really bad. Um, so I'm learning a lot about that and I have a I have a big project coming up regarding that So I'm reading that I also just finished watching uh finished reading um girl stop apologizing which is like a I don't even know how to describe it. It's like a Not a self-help book because I don't read self-help books. It's kind of like a motivational like um business entrepreneurship kind of kind of book and really Figuring out what you want for your life and not making excuses and going after a kind of book So I like I like those it's written by Rachel Hollis Yankee asks if my husband does jujitsu jujitsu as well. Yes, we actually met through jujitsu, which is awesome Um, so yes, and we still do it together Pumpkin boy asks what my favorite youtube channel is Okay So I love I love youtube like I watch a lot of other youtubers and I admire a lot of them One I will consistently watch is Kaylin Nicholson We have not a lot in common. Um, she's like vegan and super into meditation and stuff like that Which is not really me But she's a lovely lovely human being and has a lot of like real life wisdom She doesn't you know like bullshit stuff if that makes sense And um her videos are just beautiful like the cinematography and how she shoot stuff is is really great. So I listen to her often um I'm trying to think I've been listening. I've been I've been watching a lot of um ash hardell recently who is a um transgender youtuber because that's that's an experience I don't know about and I want to learn about and so I'm trying to learn about like, you know, kind of from From their perspective I also I'm trying to think I'm kind of dry it gary v. Gary Vaynerchuk. I listen to a lot of he's a lot of fun I don't know if any of you guys know him, but he's pretty great. How about you guys? What are what are some of your favorite channels? I would love to know What what else you guys listen to oh christy um Christy cedai also watch all the time we chat back and forth. She's she's she's a lovely human She's awesome. I love her to pieces if you don't know her channel check it out She's missing a hand So, you know, she's the fellow amputee, but her videos are really fun too. So I enjoy watching her stuff um Let's see here Logan uh says ash's videos are really interesting. Oh wait, cool. That's awesome This is so cool that you guys uh watch some some some of the same stuff. I do life apollos I watch pretty much on the daily seriously He releases pretty much daily videos about car news. I know him in real life He's a freaking fantastic human being. Um, we're good friends with with him and his wife And uh, that's yeah, they're they're great. And so, uh, I watch a lot of his content and it's really good So if you like cars or exotic cars or like car drama, go check out life apollos channel. It's a lot of fun Um squirmy and grubs. I also do watch squirmy and grubs. They are marvelous as well I also started watching life of stripes Which is a girl, um going through life with I mean a lot of medical complications, but specifically um Ehlers Ehlers danlos syndrome. I think I said that wrong, but that's something I've wondered for Years if I have if that makes any sense Um, I'm sure I'm sure I don't as we know I kind of worry about stuff But uh, that's something I actually want to get tested for because I have a lot of the the symptoms of it Anyways, um, but she has an awesome channel too. So Let's see here um A lot of custom doll customization videos Interesting that is a something I have never watched any of that's really cool um I uh, so god's girl 77 asks any advice for journaling more So I just started Consistently journaling again. I actually have um, I'll be having kind of a video series coming out specifically around that and I used to journal All the time like every day like it was my outlet for things and I really got away from it Because I think it kind of like it forces you to be a little bit in touch with yourself And there were a few years there where I was like nope. I'm good Like I I've got other stuff to do you know like I didn't want to really get quiet and um, especially this last week. I was like that's something I really need to reincorporate into my life and So I've been like journaling here and there bits and pieces but I really decided to get serious about it and commit to it so I've been journaling every day for a week now and it um As far as any tips or or or like You know pointers for it Just don't censor yourself. I think is the first thing that I would say Sometimes I want to censor myself because I'm like, oh, that's mean or like I shouldn't say that or you know I shouldn't feel that way or or something like that but The point of journaling is to kind of just let things flow and just Get whatever is in your head out on paper or work something out or I don't do a whole lot of like what I did today It's more, you know, kind of what's going through my head or what I'm struggling with or what I'm excited about And so if you can write without a filter and not judge your thoughts, but just put them out on paper Um, almost I almost feel like it's kind of like a meditation to journal because I'm not critiquing what I'm thinking. I'm just Like just writing it down. So I'm I'm not sure if any of that's helpful I'm definitely not a journal expert, but it's something I would like to uh get a lot better in Um, fun fact when my house burned down the second time Because I've had a house burn down twice in my life when my house burned down the second time I had a chance to Run in and grab like a couple things as like the forest fire was coming towards our house And the thing that I grabbed was my journals So like what I have from my past which I will always be grateful for is like seven journals Um and a toothbrush. I also grabbed a toothbrush, but not toothpaste Not sure why I didn't think to you know Grab toothpaste as well and and a bright orange hoodie. Those were the things that I decided to Grab as a as a forest fire was rushing towards our house. So thankfully everything worked out and everyone was okay But I was I was glad to have those journals. It's kind of fun to have a piece of your history if that makes sense um Let's see here cursed Uh, am I cursed or something causing my houses to burn down? You know, it's a really good question The first house burned down when I was 16 It was because my brother had spilled gasoline on the ground like the floor He was changing out. I think it was the gasoline filter in his Mazda R7. I think it was cleaned it up. But the next day our Um our refrigerator sparked And then our house burned down. It wasn't a total loss We had to be out of the house for seven months as they were rebuilding But the second time which was in the black forest fire I think five years ago this year total loss literally nothing left Like literally ashes and nothing else. I will show you I um, I feel like that's a story worth sharing at some point because I was quite an experience and I have a lot of pictures from that So yeah, so yeah, I don't know who has two houses burned down But I've had two houses burned down which is an odd experience to have for sure um Oh jim asked have I taken a ride in erin's mclaren? This is this is going back to life of paul's. No I haven't which is real dumb because uh, brian Wrote up to denver with erin the other day in his mclaren and I wrote up in their other car with his wife I could have like asked to ride back in the mclaren. Why did I not ask to ride back in the mclaren? Or like ride to like, you know, at least like take a ride in it. I was that was really a mistake on my part Missed opportunity to like ride in a fancy car But like brian's really really into supercars and I just think they're cool But brian's like obsessed with them. So it's like you take them to claren. I'll just ride them. I'll ride in the Porsche, you know um Let's see here Jack asks. Oh first of all chipper soul also had a house burned down That's I am really sorry. It is quite an experience, isn't it? It is not it is not fun Um jack asks, what is the most hard Moment in your life? Let's see here. And is it weird going of from a foot to no foot? It definitely is weird going from a foot to no foot for sure. Um the most like the hardest moment in my life um The hardest moment in my life is is probably more of a a story than I have time for right now But it was probably the Like if I could compress it all down to a single moment, there are way worse things that I've gone through But like the I feel like the worst day where like everything hit me I was supposed to have brain surgery and um, I had to shave my head for it and yes, I do have photographic proof of all of this And uh, when I got to the hospital They basically changed everything said they weren't going to do it. It wasn't going to help Um, and it was like supposed to fix all the migraines I was having because of the qr qr email formation everything like that And so I like had all this hope that like everything's going to be better and then my head was shaved And they're like actually just kidding You're not having surgery and we can't fix it And then that launched like two years of going to doctors and the Mayo Clinic and stuff like that So that was probably like the worst individual moment in my life um Yeah, that was that was a fun day. I say very sarcastically um George says Joe does that make you feel defeated? Do you get the pun? Because I do and I really appreciate puns. They're the the highest form of humor It's what I always tell people and people disagree with me, but those people are wrong. I'm just kidding, but they are wrong Um, yes, Mike. I shaved my head for no reason for literally no reason And like I said, I 100% have photos of all of this and I will share those with you guys at some point Because I feel like that is just an interesting story and a pretty unique one Let's see here. Um Chase asks if my medical issues have caused me to be more grateful for everything That's a good question Yes I think so I think when you have Not that like you're required to have issues to be grateful but when you have a lot of like damage or trauma or medical problems or you know things like that you're definitely faced with a choice and the The moments that are good are a lot Sweeter and like the smaller things in life are You realize how big of a deal they are if that makes sense So yes to some extent. I do think that like my health issues have been a have have definitely been a factor in Fostering gratitude in my life if that makes sense Uh jazzy girl says everyone could stand to be punny. Thank you. I totally agree people make fun of me When I when I when I make puns Like I said, I think they're great Alexa asks favorite singer. Okay, so linkin park will forever be my favorite band hands down Always will be always always always will be I love linkin park. I grew up listening to them. They were the soundtrack to my life um But currently I really enjoy I think it's at this in the last live stream um, I really enjoy a song called Stupid deep by john belotone belotone. I think it's called And Let's see here. Uh panic the disco is one of also my all-time favorite bands. They just get better with every single album Um, I also really like all kind need to breathe need to breathe is also amazing I'm actually going to a concert of theirs pretty soon, which I'm really excited for they're like one of the only bands I would actually Go see a concert for um I've pretty varied tastes in music I do occasionally enjoy quite a few m&m songs and I may have memorized way too many lyrics I'm not saying it's great music, but I am gonna say I really enjoy it. I also do like taylor swift I'm just gonna fall into that stereotype of being being you know, that girl who likes taylor swift Um, she's pretty great. So I like a lot of different kind of music, but I'd say panic the disco Uh fallout boy and linkin park are probably like at the top of my list Um, alexa says her favorite singer will forever be taylor swift. Cool. Okay, so we've got something in common with that That's awesome. Um, 21 pilots. I definitely definitely do like 21 pilots um Austin jack So austin asked do I have any favorite makeup products?

So thank you all The con the comic bud says what's my favorite quote that keeps me motivated.
