I have a LBK, I was in an accident on the Colorado river on June 13th 2007, I had a compound fractured femur and my leg was almost completely severed below the knee, all on my left leg. I had a decision to make once I realized the severity of my injury and it was easy, to live. I knew my leg was gone and my only concern was a tourniquet and a helicopter, the only two immediate things that I knew would save my life as well as staying very, very calm and just breathing... I think God had a little to do with it as well.

Renee;
JamesLife is gonna be great for you! I'm a left BKA myself. The technology for below knee prosthetics are pretty awesome; you should have seen what I was wearing 18 years ago! Ugh!
Anyway, I'm able to do just about everything I used to do... I hike, bicycle, jog (although I need a better suspension system for this last one), and hang glide! :)
BTW... I hade to sound iggerent, but what's a Sea Do? What kind of accident was that?
Anyway, you got out alive, and your life really will be very good, just give it time to get used to it, and you will find it doesn't effect you as much as you first might fear.
