Maggie's Column

Maggie Parker's first-person essays on life after limb loss — identity, recovery, equipment, and the long quiet work of adapting.

by Maggie Parker
  1. I Stand Anyway When the storm hits, I do not step back. I learn how to hold my ground. On falling, getting back up, and the choice to keep standing.
  2. From Two Wheels to One Step at a Time From a Canadian biker logging twenty thousand miles a season to a Tennessee amputee — and the identity that survived the road change.
  3. The Cost of the Wrong Equipment When every step becomes a calculation, and the decision about how far an evening can go is made in paperwork.
  4. Phantom Limb Pain A connection that never really leaves you — even when everything else is gone.
  5. My First Prosthetic Appointments Not a fitting. A reality check. On casting, sockets, and the patience the body demands before the mind is ready.

  3. The Story Part 1 of 3. How a free-wheeling high schooler ended up sweeping floors at a prosthetics clinic — and stayed for thirty years.
