My Assault, PTSD, & What I've Never Shared
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 02/04/2021

I was diagnosed with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) a number of years ago after an assault. I've never really talked about, in-depth, what caused that, or how it affected me - until now.

MY STORY //


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.


MY PROSTHETIC LEG:
I use the Ossur ProFlex XC Torsion foot/ankle with a direct socket with passive vaccum suction.
