Sometimes, I miss my legs. But, I wouldn’t want them back because: 1. I wouldnt be who I am today if I didn’t go through that experience 2. I wouldn’t be as understanding of myself and others, at least not at this point in my life 3. I would have never met some of my very best friends if I hadn’t lost my legs 4. My life would be on an entirely different path and it would probably be an anxious and indecisive one. Losing my legs has shown me what is most important to me and what I want to do with my life 5. I have so much more opportunity to talk to, help, and motivate people than I ever could have with 2 legs 6. I wouldn’t have a great punch-line 24/7. No leg to stand on in stand up I’m afraid But I definitely miss having legs. I miss certain things like: 1. Not having to deal with socket fit issues and having my legs literally fall off of my body as I am trying to use them 2. Not having to fight with insurance for basic human rights like walking, running, or swimming 3. Not having to assemble my legs every time I want to get up or go do something 4. Wearing high heels, seeing my whole leg in pictures, being able to point my toes, basically the “aesthetics” of legs 5. Walking through the grass barefoot or feeling my toes in the sand You can miss something and still understand that it was not best for you. This is something I still work on after the loss of my legs #amputee #disabled #disability #athlete #paraathlete #life
