by 2 Comments on Let’s Get Physical

Experiencing fatigue after my amputation was something I anticipated but hadn’t given much thought to until recently. Just as my mind is eager to be more active and independent, my body continues to feel weak. I find myself needing to rest or even take a nap daily.
