Tell us the story of your injury and amputation.
I had a knee replacement surgery done in India (Feb 2008). I developed blood clots and had chronic ulceration, for which I had multiple surgeries, including skin grafts and laser surgery to heal, but later developed a life threatening infection. As a result, the lifesaving amputation was performed.
What type of prosthetic device are you wearing?
Above-knee prosthesis.

How has your prosthesis changed your life?
I feel like I have a new life – a beautiful life with lots of energy in my body.
