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!
My advocacy began with a 30 year career in nursing. I focus on medical advocacy through trauma informed care and assisting seniors to safely age at home while reducing their cost through LTC planning. My passion for advocacy continues to grow as I support and advocate for my father who is blind and disabled, within a very challenging family dynamic, and as I guide my daughter diagnosed last year with a rare genetic/metobolic disorder following years of untreated symptoms and being gaslit. I'll be sitting for the BCPA this year!
