I have been thinking a lot lately about what separates those who succeed and live full/happy lives straight to the end from those that seem stuck in a circle of sabotage and bad luck for the rest of their lives. This discussion was provoked by my husband’s new job. In it, he works with many…
Awkward Amputee Problems (Part 1)
Knowing and loving the sense of humor in the disabled community I think you may appreciate some of these. While my list is by no means a collective and finalized list of amputee problems; either you will relate to them, understand them, or add your own in the comments below. There is a part two…
Fostering T: The Aftermath
I looked down at the horse crap on my empty pant leg. “More crap, just what I need,” I thought. Being an amputee with an empty pant leg, I had closed my car door while unknowingly shutting my pant leg in the door of the car and then traveled all the way to Quarryville, PA…
Crash Course at the Ash House
I had every intention of starting to share some of the hilarious moments that we have had as a family since my last post. But life had another idea. Trauma reared its ugly head within our home in a way that has broken all of our hearts in an immense way. We found there was…

I Ain’t Got a Leg to Stand on…
I Ain’t Got a Leg to Stand on… If you have followed my blog for any amount of time you know the struggle with my leg. Not my real one, my fake one. I truly do not even understand how something that isn’t even real can constantly send you such unhealthy vibes. First I have…
