Should I STOP Talking About Amputation?
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 2020-01-13

What does it mean to be "mature" about disability? How long should I talk about this - if I was doing "well", would that mean I'd start to be quiet about it?

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.
