From the Introduction
Learning to live with a prosthetic limb is not a single event but an ongoing negotiation — between the device and the body, between former ability and new capability, between the self before and the self now. The writers in this volume are somewhere inside that negotiation.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts trace the prosthetic limb experience: the initial fitting and the steep learning curve, the adjustments and malfunctions, phantom pain and its management, the emotional terrain of changed embodiment, and the gradual finding of a new ordinary. Voices include those with congenital differences and acquired amputations.

Who it's for

For new amputees, those mid-adaptation, their families, and caregivers wanting a human map of this territory before they encounter it themselves.
