This REALLY Isn't Okay
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 2019-07-17

There's something I need to say.
I am generally unphased by the unkind words that are often exchanged towards me online but something was said this week that I felt was necessary to address.

If you have the privilege of never knowing chronic pain or illness please use it to lift others up not aggravate their pain.

Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
