It is so easy to forget I have one leg sometimes.

I feel like I can just get up and walk away and then I’m like oh shit and giggle to myself…

“How powerful your mind is and how hard it is to change the way it operates after 40 something years.”

I had to change so many things in my life, but I can’t get my brain to keep the realization that my leg is gone.

I don’t get phantom pain.

No, instead I always feel like the part of my leg that is amputated is still there fully functional like my right leg.

I feel like I have two legs all the time.

I always try to do things with it like it is here.

For example, taking off my shoe with the other foot or if I get an itch I will try to scratch my right leg with my left foot.

I need a robot leg that I can control with my mind.

Anyone know where I can be the tester for one?

It would be helpful if it could be used to control other’s minds, too (HA!)

I went to the store with my boyfriend Carlos and the kids.

I get out my wheelchair and into the car after leaving the store like I normally do.

Usually someone will put my chair in the trunk afterward.

I’m sitting there watching Carlos get in the car and my chair is still in the parking lot.

I just look at him laughing and he is like, “What?”

I said, “I don’t know.” and I let him try to figure it out for a few minutes and he couldn’t.

I had to remind him that he forgot to put my chair into the car.

His response was, “I forgot you had no leg,” and we were all laughing.

It’s nice that at least I’m not defined by one leg.
