    Real Talk with Dr. Carty
    2025/06/11
    AMI Procedure and The Future of Amputations Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital "For 200 years there has been no real difference in amputation; it's technique and how it's done." Do you know anything in our world that hasn't evolved in 200 years? No! This was a statement that Dr. Carty stated today in our conversation and I was in disbelief. How could that be? With so many engineering marvels happening at an exorbitant rate it is only natural to turn our eyes on the other side of this coin, the surgical procedure. Prosthetics have evolved and become more advanced than ever before but our residual limbs are the same they have always been, not allowing amputees to truly reap the benefits of these technological advancements, but that is changing. Dr. Carty with the help of Dr. Hugh Herr at MIT worked together to improve the human body to be a more synergistic with the devices of today and the future. Dr. Matthew Carty-Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon Dr. Hugh Herr-Bilateral below knee amputee, biophysicist, mechanical engineer, co-director of MIT Media Lab The Agonist/Antagonist Myoneural Interface (AMI) procedure was born out of the ideas of two men who each had something they were searching for to improve functionality of a residual limb and to make it more compatible with the future of prosthetics. I am excited to share that I will be heading to Boston this weekend to have Dr. Carty perform this procedure on me, as a study candidate, and in hopes to improve my overall functionality. I am truly very excited for this opportunity. Join us in today's Real Talk as Dr. Carty goes deep to explain the process of creating, changing, and implementing a new medical procedures, and what exactly the AMI is and what the hopeful outcomes are of a successful surgery. I am truly honored and appreciated the time you spent with me to record this episode in the midst of your busy schedule, Dr. Carty, and I look forward to working with you soon. See you win Boston! Enjoy this deep and impactful interview and be sure to subscribe to my Vlog channel on YouTube @OneLegis Enough-BAW to follow my journey through this amazing experience. Have an amazing week ahead, Warriors! And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

  • Facing Setbacks

    Facing Setbacks
    2025/05/28
    Setbacks to Comebacks Life is full of ups and downs and as an amputee we must realize that we will face many more challenges, past the amputation itself, years later. For one, our sound side becomes extremely important to us. Taking care of our good joints while still trying to live a full and healthy life yet protecting what we have left becomes a balancing act and can be very scaring when things go wrong. We also struggle with pain in our residual limb when our socket doesn't fit correctly or a neuroma decides to show up. My current situation is a strained lower back because I work so hard with balance and bending over to pick things off the floor, all on my sound leg which puts undo pressure and tension on my lower back on the opposite side. That is my current setback, and it is not only painful, it's frustrating! I have 2 weeks until I take off for Boston to go through extensive reconstructive surgery on my residual limb, plus a unique procedure created by MIT and my doctor. My goal 2 weeks ago was to eat well, cut our alcohol and get back to the gym daily to get in the best shape for this surgery. Literally the first week into that plan I tweaked my back! Now I am trying to be patient and waiting for the slow healing process my back is going through. 1 year after my amputation I found a neuroma in my hamstring and had to go thru another surgery! Stayed positive but at times it was hard, starting over with healing is hard! Not being able to wear the prosthesis while healing can break you but setting goals and looking to the future helps. Stay positive! What I have learned through all the setbacks since becoming an amputee: -This too shall pass -Stay positive -Set goals -Use this time to do what you CAN do at this moment. -Setbacks tend to be moments that are setting you up for a comeback. Be ready! Look to the future. Dream! Stay focused on your goals and objectives! If you are going through a setback now, don't get discouraged just keep focused on the positive and the future. It is not the end, it's just a moment for your mind and body to be prepared for something more. This week I challenge you to be still and focus your attention to what you CAN do and positive thoughts during a setback or a rough patch. Try these steps out: -Realize that this moment won't last forever. -Use this time to stop and listen to your body and realize what it needs to heal, usually it is telling you to give it a break and let it heal. -Set goals for yourself to do once your setback fades away. -Visualize yourself being successful and accomplishing your goals. Visualize positivity! -Remember your "Why". What are you doing this all for? Yourself? Your mental health? Your family? Your job? What is it that drives you forward? Your "Why's" should be clear because they are what will help you in hard times and when you feel like you are all alone. The Why's are your motivation to keep moving forward. Of all the setbacks I have endured since becoming an amputee, one thing has been certain, the hard times end and the comebacks win! You are a warrior! Believe it! See yourself as the strong individual I know you are. Have an amazing week ahead. Get after this Call to Action and reach out to me if you have questions or want to give me an update on how you're doing. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

  • Stressed Out!!

    Stressed Out!!
    2025/05/21
    Dealing With Stress to Alleviate Phantom Pain Ahhh, stress! It wouldn't be a day or a week without something triggering stress. A bid decision, a deadline, a fight with a friend, or even traffic! As amputees we also face the uphill battles of healing, socket fittings, sores and painful steps, and phantom pains. Sometimes it feels like we never get a break. It feels like the weight of the world is placed on our shoulders and we can't come up for air. What we all need to learn is that every time we feel stressed out we have, in our own power, the ability to change the outcome. We control the narrative and we control how we come out on the other side. "Mind over Matter" isn't just a cliche it is truth. When we hold in stressors we destroy our immune system, disrupt our nervous system, and create more problems than we need to. We need to find ways to release negativity and stressors in our life. They will always be there, so instead of letting them take control and reeking havoc on your health you need to find ways to work through them and find a peace in your life. When we learn to breathe, slow down, relax, and let go of the things we cannot control, then start feeding our mind with positive and affirming words we can begin to heal ourselves and give our bodies a chance to heal. This week I challenge you. Find time to slow down and breathe slowly and deeply through troubles and stressors you are feeling. Realize what you can control and what you cannot. If you can't control something it's time to let it go. Use animals to help you find quiet time and centering. Horses especially are extremely intuitive and can read you from a mile away. If you bring in negative energy or a lot of "baggage" they won't want to be close to you, and I don't know about you, but I go see my horses for the kisses and love they pour into me. If I come preoccupied and upset, holding onto something negative, they sense it and walk away from me. I must clear my mind and center/ground myself if I want meaningful interaction with them. Our closeness happens when I let my fears, anxiety, and stressors melt away and I focus on being present with my girl. Words of affirmation and positivity. Speak them and repeat them as often as you need to about yourself until you have created a positive mindset. If you consistently beat yourself up over little things or become negative about your healing then this is where you need the most work. Our brain is a very powerful tool that believes what we speak into it. Speak only good and positive and watch your circumstances change for the better! Finally, have grace upon grace for yourself. You won't be perfect and you will stumble as you go through life, we all do, the challenge is to pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and try again. You've got this and I know you can do it. As you begin to make the changes needed to reduce stressors in your life you will start to notice phantom pains not being your focal point which then makes their grip on you much less. Don't give your pain power! Deny them and don't continue to talk about them. The less time you pay attention to the pains you feel the less likely you are to be consumed and debilitated by them. You deserve better! You can do this! Be positive, breathe and focus on the positives! Watch your stress melt away and your phantom pains calm down. Wishing you a week filled with health and happy thoughts. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!! Much love,
