Dear List serve,

I am in search of a female transhumeral amputee (trauma victim) who is a
successful prosthetic wearer that can talk to a new amputee of the same
level. I have a young 44 y/o female, left transhumeral trauma victim.
She is 3 weeks s/p amputation. I am fitting her with shrinkers and have
talked with her and her family about body powered and Myoelectric
prostheses. She would like to talk with another female amputee that has
suffered a similar situation. At this point in time my patient is very
fragile and I would like to provide her with as much practical knowledge
as possible. All of my transhumeral amputees are men, I have several
female transradial amputees but I don't feel they can help her like
another transhumeral.

Thanks in advance,
