DIY Mid-Foot Amputation

A friend of mine (who is very experienced in this subject) recently did this DIY foot shortening — and this definitely has to be the limits of what’s possible in a DIY setting. I hope it heals well (it’s two weeks old in this photo)! More pictures are in BME/extreme‘s amputation galleries.

PS. It’s quite an old interview, but you may want to read this interview about voluntary amputation (free link) if you’d like to learn a little more about the “why” end of things, or if you’re a BME/Video member, this video interview about ampuation (as well as a demonstration) is very much worth checking out.

Given that the robots are posting this right as I go under for surgery, let’s hope it’s not literally true for me today, haha. Well, if I die at least the robots have a few weeks of updates scheduled. And for the record if something goes wrong I would like my ashes half spread on the farm that I grew up on and half placed in Lake Ontario — not that I expect anything to go wrong!

This tattoo is by Eamonn at Et’s Tattoo Studio in Norwich.

Family Ink

In this photo you see four family members — a father, an older brother, and twin younger brothers — all of which have a Roman Numeral “III” tattooed on them. If you look carefully you can see that the shading is slightly different on all of them. The father has all three digits tattooed black. The oldest brother has the first one tattooed black, and the older twin has the second digit black, and the youngest twin has his third digit tattooed black. What a wonderful way to record ones’ bond in flesh.
