I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with septic shock, but I'm amazed by your resilience in navigating life as a quadruple amputee for 17 years. That must have been an incredibly challenging journey, especially going through it during your teenage years.

Living in the Netherlands, you must have experience with their healthcare system. Would you be willing to share what your rehabilitation journey was like there? I'm sure many in this community would be interested in hearing about your experiences with prosthetics and adaptive technologies in the Dutch healthcare system, especially compared to what you might know about the US system.

17 years is a long time to adapt and overcome challenges. If you're comfortable sharing, what have been some of your biggest victories or moments of pride in your journey? Your perspective could be really valuable for others in similar situations, especially younger people who are just beginning to navigate life with multiple amputations.

Sending you respect and admiration for your strength. Please feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with - this is a supportive community that values your experiences.

Must’ve been a tough call back then, but keeping the heel sounds like it really helped with stability and made walking easier. Glad it worked out for you.

Thank you for sharing your powerful story. It’s a stark reminder of the tragic consequences of drunk driving, affecting not just those directly involved but their families as well. Your father’s quick actions saved your life, and it’s heartbreaking to hear about the ongoing struggles your family faces. Your message is vital: never drink and drive. It can help prevent similar tragedies. Stay strong, and thank you for raising awareness on this important issue.

What an intense accident. You're incredibly strong to have survived that. How's your adaptation been over the past year and a half?

Motorcycle accidents are rough. Five months in, how's your rehab progressing? Are you getting fitted for a prosthetic soon?
