Ampossible is the go-to guide for every amputee from the first day
after limb loss to the day they get their life back. Thousands of
amputations happen each day and millions happen every single year
around the world. Yet, what an amputee actually experiences minutes
after surgery, what's endured through the heart-wrenching recovery,
to the time they get their life back, is rarely addressed in its
complexity. Almost every amputee experiences an onslaught of
emotions filled with confusion, grief, anxiety, depression, and
immense physical pain. AMPOSSIBLE offers a glimpse into the
realities of limb loss for those who experience it and answers the
many questions amputees often have surrounding their very immediate
medical needs as well as the long-term challenges, both physical
and emotional, amputees must face. The book is a no-holds-barred
real-world depiction of life as an amputee. Jeffrey A. Mangus, a
below the knee (BKA) amputee, delivers straightforward information
for both the amputee and his or her family and support network.
Covering the basics of wound care and rehabilitation, he also
addresses the very real emotional needs of living a new reality
without a part of the body intact. Offering hope and guidance,
however, Mangus encourages readers to challenge themselves to
overcome the downsides and live a full and engaged life.
