Episode 5 - Recovering from amputation

For many amputees one of the big questions on their mind is: who is involved in my care? While others might worry that they are going to go through this change all alone.

There’s a dedicated team of professionals and loved ones committed to helping you regain your independence, strength, and hope to get to your 'new normal' life.

In this video, we’ll introduce you to each key player in your recovery journey, so you can feel confident about who will be there to support you on the road back to independent living.
