Amputees Support Group
Amputation is the removal of a body extremity by trauma or surgery. Many have undergone amputation or have been living with a missing limb since birth. In either case, life as an amputee can be challenging. This is the place to find others going through the same experiences as an amputee. Share your thoughts, troubles, and solutions with the community.
I just wanted to publicly put it out there that I did not mean to offend Dave Harper when I added my opinion to a discussion post about selling items on this site. The whole point of my remarks were about people that come on to this site strictly to sell products and benefit only monetarily. Not about someone who is an amputee and has developed something that can help everyone from they're own experiences. My appologies to Dave. Sorry about that. If people benefit from your insight and experiences than you should help any way you can. I'll take my leave fron here as I spoke out of turn. My sincerest appologies, John.

Don't you dare take your leave from this site, you deserve to be here just as anyone else does. Yes, I was hurt by many comments because I do not understand why people want be so cruel. I have never been one to run from an honest discussion in my life or an honest fight. I agree with you Johnny in everything you said and you do not need to apologize, I wish more folks like you, Cixpax, tigertatt, whiterose, and others were as honest and would simply enter into honest discourse if there is a misunderstanding or offense. Human nature as it is, will always bring out the worst in people as it makes them feel better to have a cause to rise up against.

I commend you Johnny on your honesty and courage. Dave is right, you deserve to be here as does everyone. Please do not leave this group. Your opinions, ideas, and thoughts are valued. We are a support group and that is the operative word "Support". I only wish more people thought about why we are on this site. To lift people up, not bring them down.

Please don't leave Johnny I think it is very easy to misunderstand something that is posted.I hope what I posted in the other thread was clear on how I feel about it.I agree with what you said Johnny about someone joining who does not have a health problem and just wants to sell things.

OK. now NOBODY leave but the original person all this started. I beleive his name was BROMACK or something like that selling wheelchairs??? C'mon folks, nobody needs to leave except the "wheelchair salesman" who isn;t a amputee or associate of a amputee needing discussion ON TOPIC!!! Lets start some new threads on relavent stuff. If you are using a wheelchair and like it, ok, tell us. If you use herbal products and they solve a problem for you, tell us more!!! Lets just drop it, ok. Who is this Doug guy anyway, a moderator or owner of DS??? He probibly is not that involved in what we want or say, just advertising revenues on these sites. Sad but probibly true. So lets just police ourselves. Love to all!!!

I AGREE, DON'T LEAVE! THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE VERY HELPFUL FOR YOU BEFORE & AFTER YOUR SURGERY. DON'T TAKE THINGS LIKE THIS TO HEART. EVERYONE HAS OPINIONS & WE ALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS THEM. ITS OK, REALLY.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
