Here is a place where amputees can fill in the people that want to more, or give advice to new amputees.

Description: I want this to be a place where women who happen to be amputees can talk about whatever we want to talk about without worrying about guys. Our lives as amputees may be very different than the lives of men.

Description: "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things... ... When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad" Jot down the people and things that you are thankful for. If and when you feel the blues creeping on, just come back and take a look at what ever you have going for you. Hopefully this cheers you up a little... If not, I'm sure the other members will be glad to entertain you by means of inspirational notes and humor. Remember to post only positive thoughts and ideas in this group. Post your doubts/complaints/issues else where!

Description: This group is about how others have been able to handle the excruciating pain due to amputation. Some doctors say that it isn't real. Those are the ones who have not had an amputation. There are lots of meds out there to help ease the pain, but if we could only get someone to invent a cure! Please tell about your experiences with this problem.
