Hey there! I’m Liv and I’ve been an amputee for over 20 years.
As time has passed during this pandemic, I realized that there were a couple things about this experience that felt familiar and, as I thought about it more, a couple ways I had been prepared for this. That’s not to say I’m not having a hard time, because I truly am, but there are some similarities, and I wanted to share them with you!
