What about people who want to try all the things they can? Do you want bureaucrats saying “TAKE THIS TREATMENT AND BE HAPPY WITH IT”.I don’t want to turn this into political argument, but something as bland as “insurance companies ruin lives” has to be challenged.

Genessa, concerning your ankle fusion comment. Mine failed, but that doesnt mean it might fail on your end. Whatever you decide, stick with it! Dont let people talk you down

Sorry, I had accidentally hit the remove instead of reply button. Still getting used to this whole replying to comments thing. I actually had a reply written out but I think I’ll just address it in the next vid as I’m getting more comments and emails responses than I had expected. In the meantime, thanks!!!

jbvcw71: Healthy Diet & Nutritional Support (from a good licensed dietician) will undoubtedly help with joint pain & skin health as well as your mental health.Many people are seriously deficiant in many ways & don’t know it.You are a strong & attractive woman & deserve more than just medical doctors & surgeons.The program on BBC You are what you eat is an excellent lesson that I myself (aging man) have taken to heart. It has changed my life & how I feel day to day.Any prayers I have are for you.

But I also think you should show your present amputations on the videos, so that you can make a full diary, like a before and after. I suppose it’s a great deal of perseverance you’re having to spend, and I admire you for that already. I hope our words can be in any way positive for you and give you strength to keep it up.
We’re with you.

Once again, health insurance companies ruin people lives… Anyway, I agree that amputation is the best option for you, specially because you’ll be able to walk, run, exercise your body, which eventually improves the quality of life, revives the will of living, and that will be just great!

I’m sorry anyone would have to go through this. You’re such a beautiful girl (you really are hot as hell and I have a sweet spot for really good looking red heads). My opinion is that you elect for amputation so you can begin to enjoy life. I would love to see you smile in one of your videos… I bet you can light up a room. Sounds like you already know what is best for you. As you know, life as an amputee is NOT an easy one… but it’ll be easier than what you’re going through now.
