Well..ok. YOU asked.! .Adult Content...

Ive been debating to write about this..as I didnt know how it
would or could be miscontrued..But I get asked questions about
my stumps daily.. and I have NO problem answering them I'll
tell.. I have been naked in front of LORD knows HOW many
people seeing EVERY bodily function that my body can do..
while I was in the hospital and the hellhome..AND
I should be afraid to tell any thing? haha ok..
what DO you want to know? lol..

Well I get asked this question EVERY day by someone..and the
question is..WHAT do your stumps REALLY feel like?
not using them like a walking person..now this is NOT offical ..this
strictly MY OPINION now ok? no one elses's.. they dont have
any muscle tone.. from very very little use, like the leg would
get from walking the muscle steadily gets softer and mushyer
mushier? ? well very squishy soft.. The ONLY thing I can
think of.. that would even closely compare to the same kind of
softness and pliabilty would be a breast.. We all know what
they feel like... Ive felt mine , for breast exams... :-)

When my stumps ache..or just are aggravating me.. i do rub
them and squeeze them. When there is phantom pain
sometimes the only way to stop those buggars is to
GRAB the end and say "OK,, you STOP here ..ya KNOW..
When I do this..the closest feeling to explain just how soft
and pliable they are from lack of use would be that...SO..
NOW you KNOW..but THAT is the Truth...A Breast...

The next question..is does the rubbing and squeezing help?
YES.. when my stumps ache. and when those phantoms
kick in..yeahhhh it does help..Some times my invisible
leg it hurts so bad, i will say "It hurts so bad, if it wasnt
already GONE I would take it off myself " The pain can
wake me up from a sound sleep sometimes..oh yes..
there is no SET time for these ice pick stabbin pains in
my invisible heel...anytime..The only way to EASE..I
cannot stop them- even practically standing on the ends-
which i dont do..that hurts and does NOT feel good..
will NOT stop them.. If I rub and squeeze them some
times that helps...it will make the pain slow down..
When I put lotion on them to help the scar that goes
ALL the way around the end..the motion seems to
sooth them..

So there ..me and my just TELL everything I know.
well you ask.. so ..now there it is.. I hope my open
description doesnt offend anyone..but this is my
opinion and I am sure maybe some other dak may
feel differently..we are ALL different in our tolerances
and musles.. all of it..Why I think the ache will never
leave?...I think from the bone being just sawed off
like that, arthritis is sure to set in...so that would
logically make my stump ache as well.. WOW I
sound like a doctor lol..I havent read up on PVD
at all..why? I already GOT the crap..so hey..Ill
just watch and wait I DONT wanna know what
ELSE for pete's sake is gonna get CUT off..would
YOU?? lolol..naa
T his is JUST my opinion and HOW EXACTLY my
stumps feel if someone else felt them? I would think the same.
NOW.. YOU KNOW !
I chatted with a guy today with no hands..aint
he and I a pair? Electrical accident..see? it
can happen so fast to anyone..But hes gonna
be fine..Some lady will find him and take him
off and just LOVE him to pieces..we are STILL
people..may LOOK a little different..but its
the INSIDE that counts..Chin up buddy .. :D

Well I am off in search of FOOD. Lunch was
a bit on the "hmm whats this" side and I
didnt eat much of it so I MUST have food..
