Unlocking the Secrets of Being an Amputee Spouse

by Sabrina Whitney

Amputees make up less than one percent of the U.S. population. This means that you will encounter doctors who have no idea what amputees endure, finding winter boots that fit easily over a prosthetic foot will be crazy difficult, and mobility will be a day-by-day adventure. During the amputation process and recovery period there will be more going on beyond the obvious limb removal. This one surgery will impact your family mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It will alter your relationship to each other as well as your relationships in general. Unlocking the Secrets of Being an Amputee Spouse is a guide for anyone supporting a loved one as they navigate their first steps into the amputee life. It focuses on navigating the medical life, dealing with doctors, advocating effectively, caring for the caregiver, preparing for emergencies, and, more importantly, it paints a picture of what really lays ahead around all those twists and turns. Available in both paperback and e-book formats, this guide is a great resource for anyone beginning their journey through the amputee life. Welcome!
