    • About Me

      i am an amputee , having had both legs and both arms removed. I have only been out of the hospital for two weeks. So am looking for a lot of support and knowledge about what to expect from now now. Hopefully, it will also help my wife, so that she now how to care for me above and beyond what the doctors tell her, as they have never had to deal with a person like me everyday..

    • I’m With You

      From pheverett June 2

      My prayers and thoughts are with you. Hang in there. Everyday that passes things get a little easier. I lost both my legs above the knees about a year and a half ago. I am 48 years old and didn't exactly want to have to relearn so many things. But I have come to embrace my challenges and find so much good that has come from something not so good.
