Resources — "A Survivor's Guide For The Recent Amputee"
"A Survivor's Guide For The Recent Amputee" provides the amputee with pertinent information regarding amputation, care of the residual limb, prosthetics, returning to daily activities and a variety of other topics. Not only does this 28 page booklet offer detailed, factual information about the amputee rehabilitation process, but also a discussion of the normal feelings involved within the grieving process after losing a limb. Most new amputees fear changes in their self-image, significant relationships, social interaction, and previous levels of activity. The Survivor's Guide discusses these important concerns and provides some helpful guidance in dealing with them.
Remember, the human spirit is not dependent on, nor determined by, your physical inventory.
Our first publication of 4000 copies were rapidly distributed to O&P facilities, amputee support groups and amputees. We are anticipating our fourth publication in the near future. The guides are available in English and Spanish.
All donations for the ASG are considered as tax deductible donations.
