Val, Thank you so much for sharing this. It's a good conversation starter, and I hope others will join.

Thank you for sharing, Lynn!

WELCOME! Nancy, we're glad you're here!!!

We would love you to start a conversation about your areas of expertise — whether in the special care and aging space about our providign advocacy for our aging population, or ehre in medical guidance general that is informative — or better yet opens a discussion — about caring for all of us dysautonomics in the world (i'm an O.H. patient and my daughter is a hypertensive non-hyperadrenergic POTS patient)!

Thank you!

Anne, thanks so much for sharing your input! It's so helpful.

Advocates who want to learn more about #MedicalTourism, please make sure to register for NAHAC's webinar on January 20, 2026. A lot of great information to come!

Kimberlie — we have several advocates in this area. You can find three of them by searching the GNA site by doing a problem/condition search for tourism or for «medical tourism» in quotes. I believe we have at least 2 more, but sadly their profiles don't have these keywords, and i can't recall what they might say. (Which is why we push so hard about keywords now, in onboarding!)

Lynn your post provided me additional insight that I will use to continue to support a patient with an AKA, very minimal stump, who thus far has been unable to wear a prosthesis. Than you for posting your heartfelt story!

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your truth that «progress is rarely linear». That is a core reality, that once embraced, patients will heal more fully.

Thank you for sharing this, Lynn! Your story perfectly explains the fear, patience, and resilience that so many amputees feel but struggle to put into words. Love your work!

Lynn,
This content is amazing — easy to consume, makes so much sense, so helpful.

Also — it makes huge sense to me. As a rare genetics patient with extreme hypermobility in my feet (among other joints) — we have had to do a lot of work to protect the «not bad foot» while having to rehab the «bad» side.

Thank you again for sharing such great information.

Lynn, Thank you so much for sharing this content. It's incredibly valuable.

Thank you! That is very helpful information and timely!

Thanks so much for sharing all of these, Lynn!

Thanks so much for sharing, Tammy!

For those who missed it, was it recorded, and if so, how might someone get to view it?

Hi, Rachel! I wish I had a suggestion. Just commenting to boost.
