An unexpected amputation changes everything, but you don’t have to face it alone.

In this compassionate and empowering episode, host Rachael Auyer is joined by Licensed Certified Prosthetist-Orthotist (LCPO) Jason Auyer to discuss what comes after the unexpected amputation. From processing overwhelming emotions to navigating the maze of documentation, referrals, and prosthetic care, this episode is here to offer hope, clarity, and real next steps.

Jason shares insight from his work with patients and families, especially parents coping with a child’s limb loss. His message is clear: You may feel helpless at first, but you have a voice. Use it. Fight for your loved ones. Fight for yourself.

Rachael and Jason discuss the importance of building a care team, leaning on your resources, and understanding that while this road is challenging, it is not impossible. Our team collaborates with the Longstreet Clinic Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation office to support you through the documentation and recovery process, because no one should go through this without guidance.

This isn’t just about what’s been lost. It’s about everything that’s still possible.
