I use my left leg due to a bone infection, my surgery in two days. I have 15 yrs of infections since a motorcycle accident. My mind is ready. You videos are helping me. Thanx.

I'm slowly making my way through your videos. I had a through the knee amputation in Feb. That wasn't working out so I just had a revision above the knee, the end of May. I appreciate your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done! Christina, I want to thank you for something. Last year, I became an AK amputee. I found your videos shortly after. The one you made years ago about using a stool in the kitchen made me realize my career, im a chef, wasn't over. I've turned it into a technique I use all day at work. I'm in the same restaurant as before! Thank you so much Christina! 💓

Hey, I've been a follower since your first video on your leg and thank you for taking us on such an informative journey. Just wanted to drop a comment to say you are amazing and hope you have a great day.

You are an inspiration, what you did on the hoop was wonderful.

The name is obvious. Peggy!
I made my first peg leg from black iron gas pipe. Drilled and tapped 4 holes at the top to connect to the pyramid and adjust as needed. Used a hard maple block for the bottom and Epoxied on shoe leather. I also decorated it for Christmas. I spray painted it green, wrapped red electrical tape around it for a candy cane effect and strung it with battery operated Christmas lights. Most people I encountered thought it was funny which was what I was aiming for.

I'm a LBK amputee myself. I created my own peg a few years back by jamming the bottom of a crutch into my leg pylon & tightening it in place. I love how lightweight it is plus it helps with balance! 🙃

this is awesome. I have a peg leg too for playing in lakes and the ocean.

I have an AK amputation on my left side. I have had it for a little more than a year. This was my first winter with a prosthetic. I definitely feel like I am not getting enough exercise. And I been very interested by the arial arts. How would I get into something like that living in a rural community?
I think you are fantastic btw!!!

[michelsmet]

Peg legs are comfortable and reliable !

[sarahsherwill]

Awesome video. Told you I’d watch this video (on your Facebook page). This has made me even more confident to give this a try. The only part is trying to find aerial arts classes near me because I live in a small regional Australian town 😉🤣 oh well.

Also your peg leg socket looks pretty. I think the glitter adds a nice touch to it.

I'm bka. and have also made a pig leg foe jujitsu. much for the same reasons as you. it weighs so much less than my triton foot it's crazy. it's tempting to use all the time.

[dbackscott]

Have you been making pirate jokes? You seem like the type of person who’d be making pirate jokes (based on previous videos).

[stokesstittjr]

When just sitting around the house do you leave your leg on

Call it "Plunger" after the plumber's tool.
