Finally Telling the REAL Story: The Lawsuit Over My Amputation [CC]
Channel: Footless Jo
Date: 2021-09-27

I had a fall in a restaurant caused by unsafe conditions that led to my second #amputation. After initially accepting liability for the fall, they backtracked as soon as my medical care got expensive. This is the story of my #lawsuit against them. It was quite an experience and not something I care to ever repeat. Please do not speculate as to what restaurant this might have been - thank you! 💜

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 has documented my journey adjusting to life with a visible disability as an amputee, and continues to be a haven to discuss physical and mental health!

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