In February 2010, I snowboarded into a tree. After five reconstructive surgeries to salvage my ankle, I decided to get a below-knee amputation.

New Beginning
Two posts in one night? I know! I took this picture earlier while Brooke changed the dressing after physical therapy. More pictures from today are up on Twitter. I'll publish a write-up with more pictures tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'm fixated on this particular image.
I've been asking myself, am I used to my new self-image? To this new view of my body? I'm not exactly sure. It certainly doesn't bother me. And the science part of me is fascinated with this process. The motivation part of me is fascinated with the opportunity to get my life back.
But I still don't think it's completely sunk in. All I know is this is what a new beginning looks like.
