Hello forum members!
As the title states I’m an upper arm amputee who recently just broke my ankle. I was hoping that the community here might have some helpful insights on how to deal with this situation. The Dr has recommended surgery and for me to put no weight bearing pressure on my ankle for 6+ weeks. My problem is that I don’t know how to go about doing such a thing. My main concern is using the bathroom and actually being able to be independent while recovering. Right now I’m in a cast and it’s very difficult even with putting minimal weight on my injury(I can’t see doing it with no weight at all because of stability). I’m hoping someone might have some suggestions or may have been in a similar situation and could give me some advice
Thank you in advance
Dan
