I would like to think that I could stay here and get something out of it but I can’t. The only reason I’m here is because going home would be difficult as I can’t traverse stairs right now. I need another leg to do so and I haven’t got my new leg yet. But there …

So, I am at this supposed rehabilitation center for my amputation. I thought I was going to get physical and occupational therapy here. I guess I was wrong. I have been here nine days and I might have gotten a total of 3 hours of therapy. Most of the physical therapy I have gotten is …
