Joy shared--It has been a year since my left aka. The time sure went fast because Ive been busy living a busy life again. I am thankful for my amputation because it has given me my athletic, active, and fun life back. I am even back to bodybuilding, having competed 8 months post amp. The only thing I dont like is being told I am disgusting because I have one leg. Because I live in the central valley of California, its hot most of the time so I wear shorts year round and it shows my prosthesis. I have had children come up to me to ask questions about my leg, which I dont mind, only to have them wrenched away by their mean stupid parents like I have a disease. All I want is to live my life in service to others and to show fellow amps that a full and active life is still possible, that if I can do it, so can they. This year hasnt been easy, but it was worth everything I went through to get here.
