Welcome to the official website of Dee Malchow MN, RN Amputation Nurse Specialist
~This website is dedicated to all who live with limb loss and those who love them~
For over 50 years I have lived with a below-the-knee amputation. I won't tell you how old I am, but when I was 19 I tangled with a boat propeller. The prop won.
As a result of the amputation, my life has been touched by over 3000 people dealing with limb loss. Some I met in my 34 year nursing career, some in sports like skiing & soccer, some in prosthetic development, and some in a mission ministry to Sierra Leone, West Africa ( www.WomenofHopeInternational.org ).
It is my goal that my blog and book will provide a format for sharing information about living a productive, satisfying life even without all our fingers or toes.
