Hi Ron, Thank you so much for referring Max Harris to The Soldiers Project. He’s very courageously sharing his experience of counseling with TSP and his greater journey which gives an eloquent voice to those who, for whatever reason, have none – yet. I have just signed up to receive your blog posts and would like to know how we could have TSP show up on your resources page. I look forward to reading – and sharing with our constituents – your voice as well. Warm regards, Gail Soffer, The Soldiers Project
For those amputees who need a little help with the discomfort, I’ve got a remedy. As an amputee myself, I got tired of the stabbing pains and cold tinglely feelings bothering me. So I designed a heated stocking that is powered by a a rechargable battery. I found a manufacturer to make it for me and it works oustanding. The heat provides comfort and increases blood circulation–It’s a way of properly maintaining the health in your limb. I wear mine every night and I sleep better because of it. http://www.night-kap.com — I think every amputee needs one.
