Footless JoBIID (also known as amputee identity disorder and body integrity dysphoria) is a disorder in which someone feels as though they should be disabled when they are, in fact, able-bodied. What it is really, and what do I, as am an amputee, think of it?
Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel is to document my journey of amputation surgery, recovery, and reclaiming my life.
