Now an amputee, yet still depressed.

The following was posted on a newsgroup and slightly edited to make sense

I’m a devotee, married to a disabled woman, dealing with a wonderful but energetic toddler. I also have/had BIID, and became an LBK amputee July 2005.

Two months as an amputee

I should have given you all a recent update - its now 2 months since my amp and things are just so great, I have no words to describe the happiness in which I live each day since the surgery. I woke up from surgery without pain and this happy feeling which has never left

Routines, and therapy

by Sean - 11 September 2006

I was talking with my partner recently, and she mockingly said that I was "a finicky old man set in my ways", and said that I was too stuck in some of my routines. She was half serious, half joking. It is true I have developed some routines. But I’m not completely set in my ways. Flexibility is possible. :)

When home isn’t home anymore

As some may be asking, where the hell have I been? I’m not too sure myself. My friend was having a 21^st birthday party last Saturday and I’ve known her since before we started high school (seven years ago). It was pretty much necessary that I go, so… I had to stay at my parents’ house. I think this was the time where it truly hit me that my parents’ house isn’t my home any more.

Cure vs. Treatment - Protocol

by Sean - 10 September 2006

First, I should point out that I don’t think that transabled folks should be "cured" of their Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). In and of itself, as unusual as it is, I am not distressed because I am transabled, but because I cannot achieve the paralysis I believe I should have. So this post isn’t about curing transabled folks, as much as offering treatment options for those who desire it.
