Why did you lose your leg?
 

When I was 26 years old, in the last months of my pregnancy with my child, I suddenly had severe pain in my leg. Because of the pregnancy it was not possible to do something against it, I had to wait until the birth of my daughter. After childbirth, they made several medical checkups

that ended with the terrible diagnosis cancer. So it seemed

to me, at least at that time. The doctors tried for five years

to save my leg - without success. After years of the worst

pain I approved the amputation of my leg. I wanted to

get back  my life without pain - the faster the better.

In fact, it was the happiest day in my life - the first

day without pain.

  Do you wear prosthesis?
  Yes, I wear prosthesis, but right now I am not able tomuse it.
   
  Do you also use crutches or a wheelchair?
 
I usually go with prosthesis or crutches. I use a wheelchair for long distances.
  What kind of crutches do you use?
 
It is important to me that they are comfortable. Most of all, I like forearm crutches.
  Do you have phantom pain?
 
After the amputation, I had severe phantom pain but then I learned to deal with it. For me this is pure mind game. But sometimes I feel my leg when the weather changes.
