Sheila was just 26 when she contracted meningococcemia. She was in coma for 8 days but survived. She regained her strength but her limbs remained black and lifeless. Barely a month later, she had to make the most difficult decision in her life - face amputation of her limbs or die from the infection. This is her story.

SHEILA'S BLOG
I follow Sheila's blog (http://sheilamaya.blogspot.com ) and read it with interest, not just because she is my niece but also because it gives me an insight to what she faces everyday. I sometimes go to StumpsRUs.org website and read the Questions/Answers. So many people who have lost their limbs are looking for answers or just want to connect with those who are in the same situation. It is fortunate that there are quite a few organizations who provide support and assistance to amputees like StumpsRUs, Lessthanfour, Amputee Network Blog, Amputee Coalition of America, etc.
