When people ask whats on my leg, and I respond with it’s a prosthesis – They give me a blank stare. I’m an amputee…it’s fake….
Growing up as an Amputee
Growing up as an amputee is a very unique experience. There were many tearful moments, and also lots of tiny victories celebrated.
My Amputation
When people notice my artificial leg they often come right out and ask, “What happened to you”? Yes, they are that direct, and word it that poorly.
How Adaptive Amputees began
I had experienced years of bullying for being different, and I wanted to be the voice for amputees in my community. Adaptive Amputees was the way.
