Episode 1 - So, you're going to have an amputation!

Описание: Being told by your healthcare provider that you are facing amputation can be a frightening prospect for some, and a relief for others. This greatly depends on the reason behind needing an amputation.

The term 'elective amputation' is used to describe a planned surgical procedure and it often seems odd using the word 'elective,' especially when some members of the community do not actually want the procedure to happen.

‪@Limbs4Life‬ are creating a series of videos that cover a broad range of topics to help amputees through their journey. In a nutshell, we want to break down the barriers to amputation, so that you can make educated and informed decisions and live the best life that you can.

'A Practical Guide For Amputees' was developed for people who are facing, or who have recently experienced amputation. You can view and download the guide here: https://www.limbs4life.org.au/uploads...

‪@Limbs4Life‬ produce a range of resources and information sheets for people who are facing amputation, for amputees, their loved ones and carers. You can access our resources here: https://www.limbs4life.org.au/resources

‪@Limbs4Life‬ are very proud to provide a Peer Support Program which matches trained volunteers with new amputees requesting support. Our volunteers are willing to share their knowledge and lived experience to assist people during their transition to recovery.
