How I Lost a Leg & Gained My Life: A Day in the Life of an Amputee

from Just Davit · host David Messina

Two years after a motorcycle wreck cost me my foot, I’m living louder than ever. Join me, Davit, as I walk you through a day in the life of an amputee – from socket liners to phantom sensations, from lifting into a truck to embracing my new normal. You’ll hear: • How my leg changed so much I needed two liners and limb socks to make the socket fit. • The moment I asked “How’s the bike?” in the hospital and realized losing my foot was not the worst-case scenario. • Why I welcome curious glances, take questions from strangers, and hope every amputee feels seen. If you’re an amputee, a friend of one, or just curious about prosthetics and life-hacking every day, this one’s for you. Drop a comment: are you out there bearing up in it?
