I am Diabetic and I have had both my legs below the knee amputated.  My confidence was shattered.  I thought I was no use to anyone.  I met with Leanne from Move Ahead and she helped me move forward and get my confidence back

Dear Cepheusrj37,

Thank you so much for getting in touch regarding your experience of MoveAhead. My name is Pam Lamond and I am the Senior Charge Nurse of the service.

It must have been a very difficult and worrying time for you, and a massive challenge coming to terms with life changing physical health issues. It sounds like your confidence and self esteem were impacted considerably and I can only imagine how tough it was for you feeling like you were no use to anyone.

However, it sounds like you have done so well in your recovery and are moving forward in a positive direction. I am delighted to hear that Leanne has helped you to get your confidence back. I will pass on your feedback to Leanne whom I know will be very pleased to hear things are going well for you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. You sound like a very inspirational individual.
