Amput33Cast 22 - Putting On A Slippery Liner

 Quick about my weight loss and diet for those interested. 

Current weight 218lbs. Want to get to 185 Still doing the vegan thing.

This weeks Amput33Cast is about trying to get your liner/prosthesis on when you are wet, your liners wet, it’s humid & you can’t grip anything. 

This has often happened to me over the years. Typically getting out of or into the shower. Other times at the pool. Sometimes riding the bike or working out.

You forgot a towel, the towel is soaked, you are soaked, it’s humid as hell and you can’t get your hands dry. Sometimes you can’t get a grip on the liner to roll it up. Even with a dry towel sometime the humidity or other factors make it impossible to grip the darn thing. There is nothing worse than being in the gym locker room and not being able to get back from the shower to your locker. I have encountered many similar situations over the years.

BTW if you do have a towel you can often use it to get the liner started into to rolling position, and help roll it up despite having wet, pruny hands. That’s another video for another time…lol.

This is what I do to be able to walk and get needed supplies or move to a different area where it is cooler and I can get dry easier. 

Let me emphasize this is a QUICK FIX AND SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPERLY DONNING YOUR LINER AND PROSTHESIS. This is so you are not stuck in one place and can move from point A to B if needed. 

You should always make sure your liner and limb are dry if possible. If you limb is wet while wearing the prosthesis for extended periods of time that can lead to skin break down, rashes, or possible fungal and mold issues.
