LIVING WITH LIMB LOSS 8 TIPS FOR THRIVING AFTER AMPUTATION
1 Believe strongly in your continued potential after amputation. Thousands of amputees have proven that limb loss does not have to prevent you from going to school, having a job, marrying, having children, participating in sports, and enjoying a full life. 2 Set a goal, and work toward it. Focus intensely on your goal andmove toward it step by step. Break down your large, overwhelming tasks into smaller, moremanageable ones and take them on one at a time. 3 Set another goal, and another one, and another one. Once you’ve achieved your first goal, set another one. That way, you’ll always have something new to achieve. 4 Accept the support of family, friends, and other amputees. 5 Keep trying. Don’t give up or take no for an answer. 6 Don’t let other people’s opinions dictate your destiny.
7 Research living with limb loss, learn from others, and be willing to consider their advice. 8 If you fall or get knocked down, dust yourself off, and look for alternate ways to accomplish your goals. “Fall seven times, stand up eight,” advises a Japanese proverb. Even if you fall over and over, if you stand up the last time, you will ultimately succeed.
