New Video Drop: My MUSC Lab Rat Adventure + Class Shoutouts

I finally uploaded a new video to the “Life as an Amputee” section—and yes, it includes the shoutouts I promised to the MUSC Physical Therapy students who worked on me during this year’s lab.

For the last 3 years, I have volunteered as an official amputee lab rat at the Medical University of South Carolina. The students get real-world practice, I get free balance checks, bonus stretches, and a chance to crack jokes while they try not to panic about touching a prosthetic. Win–win.

During this year’s session, I told the class I’d make a video just for them… and shockingly, I followed through.

Shoutouts delivered.

I Hardly Devote Time to Being an Amputee… Somehow

Here’s the funny part: for someone who is an amputee, I barely devote any time to focusing on being one.

Why?

Because I’m too busy juggling:

• Filming vlogs about movie reviews

• My life as an End Stage Renal Disease patient

• And maintaining my very healthy, very loud hatred of the Nextdoor platform

Being an amputee sometimes feels like the least dramatic thing happening in my life.

If you were in that MUSC classroom—this one’s for you.

Check it out under Videos → Life as an Amputee.  I enjoyed the humor, dialogue, and where it looked like I was remembering everyone’s name.

More videos coming soon—because apparently, I like giving myself more shoutouts to deliver later.
