Foot amputated - rehab advice

0 replies

LadyAsnowt · 03/04/2023 08:08

Been lurking for a couple of years, but this is my first post.

My DB (65) has just undergone emergency surgery to amputate his foot at the ankle.

He will be in hospital for a while, and will be returning home to a ground-floor privately-rented flat (so limited scope for alterations but hopefully there won't be too many required). SIL works from home and is self-employed so will be around to support him, as will DH and I (we live about an hour away and both work full-time but will help as and when we can). My niece (DB's daughter) lives abroad.

Does anyone have any experience of helping a new amputee with rehab and general everyday life? Literally any advice or comment welcome - we're all new to this and we all love him dearly and want to help however we can.
