How I became an amputee

[derkerkjerk]

Inspiring - I hope you look back on your past and can smile with pride, you're stronger than most people.

Keep fighting your next battle, if it's weight-loss then you got it in the bag... if you can survive what you went through then losing weight is a walk in the park.

fuk man...dont ever think you need to be embarrassed about losing your arm, it was a car accident. Its not like you were teasing a crocodile or holding fire works running around.

Sounds like lacking an arm has not slowed your life down, congrats man...its always great to see people that went through terrible things like this, not sink into a deep depression they never get out of.

[Vishus]

Holy **** that is one mighty piece of wood.

You're a tough bastard, OP. If you can get through that, you can get through anything.

I hope so, I try to look on the brighter side of life, I am still here, I am a warrior, I survived an accident the someone else could of died in.

A lot of people ask me about what happened when they see me and they ask how do I cope? I am still the same person before and after the accident I'm just missing an arm. You get one shot at life, don't let it go to waste because something happened in your life that has an effect on you. I just want to go to a kids hospital and share my story to lift their hearts to let them know life is not over you're still the same person

It was a few miscer's that wanted me to share my story so I did, its a bit sad but it just shows the strength and determination I have to overcome things

[BadumTish]

Screw feeling embarrassed bro, you should feel like a damn badass for surviving a fukin plank impaling you through your neck.

Crazy story and inspirational strength.

[anonymous]

Fuarkkkkkkk brah. Mirin everything and extremely happy for you. What a story.

LWe stayed together for almost 5 years, constantly cheated on me but I felt like I was good enough so I kept taking her back because I loved her and thought no one else wanted me. Then she got pregnant by another guy while we were dating but I didn't find out til a month after we broke up.

Rage.


mirin that you could trust women again after that. Legit do not know if I could have restrained from murdering your ex if I was in your shoes. Think I might of needed a new patio.

Man you are an unlucky guy. It is one in million shot.

[EmmaW4tson]

Did you flip your avatar pic OP? Cuz its your right arm thats gone a walkin and I see you holding up a phone with your left.

Pretty big thing to be missing a different arm from what you describe :O

[Rabbitjb]

Chitty thing to happen but awesome story of rising above a tragic event

You sound strong and together and happy. Congratulations on getting your life together and your family

Makes me wonder how you feel when you read all the bitchin' threads on here ...the can't cope with losing a bit of hair, or a job or the FA /LDAR dweebs...do they make you angry or sad?

Thank you, and honestly I don't get mad or sad, people have different ways of dealing with things you know? I just try to tell others just remember there's other out there who are less fortunate that don't have what you and everyone else has. Just like me I know there are ton of people out there who have it worse than me so I just keep a positive attitude

I've lost 30 kilos twice, with different lifestyles as well as traveled the world, meeting and talking to a lot of people. A lot of shiet. Message me anytime about losing weight, motivation or just about anything you want.
100% srs.

Your story was a kick to my system.

[GEToutHOEits6AM]

Always curious of the stories of people with missing limbs and wheelchair brahs, thanks for sharing you story and experiences man. You seem to have a pretty positive attitude when it comes to dealing with it man I don't know if I'd react the same and I guess nobody truly knows until it happens to them. Probably gives you a totally different outlook on life.

Thanks man, it definitely gives you a different outlook on life for every angle, I think the biggest thing I struggled with was trying to find a job because every time I went for an interview I would always catch them looking at my left side and I felt as they thought I wasn't capable of doing things people with both arms can.

Respect. Stay strong brah

Just think, you'll probably be one of the first to become a cyborg considering how advanced prosthetics are becoming.

[VagnerLove]

Damn brah

[rbtsmith410]

Just think, you'll probably be one of the first to become a cyborg considering how advanced prosthetics are becoming.

That would be awesome, I have a prosthetic but I just don't wear it at all because I can just get everything down with one hand. I mean its motorized and moves when I move certain muscles on my left side. I just hope one day there can be an artificial arm transplant where you can feel and move with your mind. That would be awesome

[2RDEYE]

inspiring story man. i don't know what i'd do if i went through all of that. i probably wouldn't have it in me to do anything at all. do you get any sort of phantom pain?
