"A Survivor's Guide For The Recent Amputee" provides the new 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.

"A Survivor's Guide For The Recent Amputee" is an excellent resource for amputee patients.
