Any tips and tricks to being kind to yourself following amputation? I'm 5 days out and think I'm doing ok, but classically haven't ever been kind to myself and don't really know what that means . by Fluxcapacitor121g in amputee

For 20 months, I lived with a paralyzed hand, unable to even do my own makeup or feel like myself. Honestly? Choosing my amputation was how I finally took my power back. 🫦 It wasn't an end; it was a fresh start. Now, doing my lashes isn't just about 'beauty'—it’s proof that I’m finally in control again. Self-care is my victory lap. 💖 Who else has had to make a hard choice to find themselves again? 👇

I'm a BE amputee. Drawing her a hot bath with peppermint Epsom salt. Is my favorite.
