Friends,
I have developed a friendship with a 35 year old woman near Chicago. Five
years ago she had a complete right lower quad amputation (Majority of soft
tissue was removed). She has had nerve damage to the remaining leg. She is
an ostomate and is wheelchair bound.
She is considering having the left leg removed (it is effectively
paralyzed). Her physician has been non-committal in regards to performing
the amputation. She has several parapalegic neighbors who recommend that she
have the amputation done. I recommended that she get a second opinion.
Can you please direct me to any groups, CP's that I can direct her to? I
believe the technology exists to make her comfortable without removing the
remaining limb.
I appreciate your time.
