Exactly one year to the day from when I had my amputation and lost my leg....
I gained it back. ;-)

This is only the beginning of a long journey of learning how to walk again. And soon, run. But taking my first steps again felt truly incredible!

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.
