    • Close Amputees

      Female 47.Below knee amputee. It was the best thing for me so I could have a better quality of life. And Im greatful for it. I healed alot faster.It took place feb 26 of this year and already I have my new leg. I call it hope, she is a part of me and will be with me the rest of my life so I need to get use to it, is how I look at it. But its really hard. I get so exhausted and need a wheel chair. I try to keep my head up and my family has been great support along with friends.

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      therapy is great, they are very sweet. And I like the exercises,the equipment. I can drive there and they come out and get my wheelchair out for me cause I cant get it out. I was able to get in the pool monday and it was great.Its hard learning balance on one leg in the water.
      Prosthetic Device Working / Worked
      I wanted to cry when I got hope my leg but I held tears back for as long as I could.I felt scared of so many things. Afraid of how Id be looked at or whispered about. I dont have a cover yet. This is my first. Its awkward adjusting but its start to come together somewhat. And Im not worried about covering it up Im not going to let it bother me cause everyone accepts me the way I am. And I want to be on my feet again.I just got it about 1 month ago, so far all is going great.
      Skin Graft Working / Worked
      the graphs worked but the foot still never healed on the inside.
