little intro

[OneLeggedLady]

Hello everyone im Ruby Smith, Age 30, female,Sheffield U.K, Looking forward to being part of this community and maybe even making a new friend or two if im lucky I have a broard range of interests i basically love to tinker around with stuff abit too much but mainly pc or console related.

To save you the bother asking me Yes i do only have one leg, 4 years ago i was in a car crash and my hip and leg were smashed to bits and after battling with the pain and making very little progress to recover from this after almost 3 years i gave up and and had my right leg amputated for a better quality of life. It was hard adjusting at first but now with my prosthetic leg iv finally achieved what i wanted and can now walk again  YAYY

Hi Ruby!  Welcome to WinCert!  I think you are neighbors with at least a few of our members.  I hope they will introduce themselves to you as such.  Please participate as much as you like and have a great time!

 

Cheers and Regards

 

[ I hope you don't mind my saying that if your avatar is anywhere near accurate, that your remaining leg looks more than good enough to replace most folks two legs.  Congrats on your successful recovery.  Stay happy and healthy. ]

it is infact me in the avatar my friend thinks im silly to dress this way with my disability but im actually trying to be serious belive it or not.  Thank you so much for your kind words it means alot to me to get a compliment for once even more so with it being about my one leg :throb:

yes iv seen and heard of this girl shes very insipring indeed and the fact shes been accepted into the mainstream is very positive for people like myself, though my leg was amputated above the knee so unfortunatly when wearing my new leg i cant make it look nowhere near as elegant and flawless as she does im a little jealous in truth   But im not ashamed of myself i see it more like im not disabled im just unique

Silly to be proud of what you have and not hide from your challenges?

They're silly

Hey it's a good way to loose 25 pounds though right?

( Not trying to be a ass I have multiple friends that are amputees, we joke all the time. I admire your strength)

[OneLeggedLady]

yes i suppose thats right,  She hates say if we are out anywhere and people be staring, pointing, laughing at me etc. it makes her go nuts so thinks that i should tone down my image like for example always wear trousers not skirts or a dress to hide away my prosthetic leg to avoid drawing more attention to myself. It does still hurt my feelings abit as id like to think i can almost pull it off and look sexy LOL  

 

I must add to this that shes one of the few people i consider a true friend as shes stuck around and helped looked after alot since my accident theres been many times iv given up and shes wiped away the tears and got me up and back on track. Im sure she does not try to be mean to me as such shes is just very protective of me.
