How quickly DO us amputees go back to "normal" life - if ever?

I'm in the midst of reading the book "Stronger" by fellow amputee (and Boston Marathon Bombing survivor) Jeff Bauman when a line caught my attention - "...below knee amputees go back to their normal lives in weeks." Do we?

(For the record, I think Jeff Bauman is an incredibly resilient human, a great writer, and an all-around pretty cool seeming guy. I just felt the urge to comment on this one sentence in an otherwise great book.)

MY AMPUTATION STORY:
https://youtu.be/L98eS0xfZWc

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.
