Amputee Essentials: The Amputee Store

When I started having skin breakdown on my legs a few years ago I had no idea what to do. I'd finally started wearing my legs enough to sorely miss them when I couldn't wear them. But as an amputee and sepsis survivor I knew that I am particularly susceptible to complications, some of them extremely serious, if I don't take care of my residual limbs.

In desperation I just started googling, and the Internet delivered! I found The Amputee Store: a one-stop shop for absolutely any and everything an amputee needs. I was able to find gel pads to add to my liners and silicone to put on my leg to protect my skin. Those helped me stay in my legs which kept me independent, the whole point of prosthetics!

The site doesn't just offer products - they also have a great blog that offers exciting news about advancements in prosthetic technology and tips and tricks to help amputees stay as healthy and independent as possible.
