My name is Amy... Follow my journey through life as a double amputee 🦿🦿 It was scary not knowing what would happen. Yep… I had more!

When I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus at the age of 11 it was difficult for me to understand why I got it or what it was. What I didn't realize at that time was what my life would be like having a chronic disease....

That I would end up in a coma for 10 days due to the Lupus invading my central nervous system. That I'd end up gaining so much water weight from being on prednisone making me unrecognizable at times -- which was very difficult to deal with during my adolescence. And that some days I'd wake up not being able to move because my muscles would be so sore and my joints would be aching. That I'd have to stay at the hospital to receive medication called Cytoxan (form of chemo) to suppress the lupus and I would get sick and I’d lose most of my hair. That by the time I turned 25 I'd lose both legs below the knee and almost all my fingers from getting streptococcal pneumonia that turned septic. That I’d get both shoulders replaced from being on prednisone for so long. And then in 2013 didn’t know I’d end up getting autoimmune hepatitis where my liver is attacking itself due to the Lupus. AND those are just a few things that have happened through out the years. Even though I’ve I had to endure a lot… Through it all, I had the choice to both be angry and give up or to stay hopeful, and move forward with my life. I decided to turn my negative situation in to a positive one. I had to believe in myself that I COULD DO THIS..Since I couldn’t change what happened to me I could change my attitude towards it. I knew I had to have a sense of humor about it and to laugh because you know what they say… that laughter is the best medicine. � Don’t get me wrong…not every day is a happy positive one. I still have my bad days where I get down; I just don’t stay down for too long. So I’ve decided to create this page in hopes that it will inspire and motivate others to move forward despite what obstacle they’re given in life. To be grateful for what we have not dwell on what we don’t have. I will also share how I get through my hard times because Tough Times Never last, but Tough People Do!

Me trying not to destroy Target🛒🤣🤣

This will be my life for the next 6 weeks… Have to let my leg fully heal before I can put on my prosthetic again. Staying positive and finding time to laugh will make the wheelchair life go by faster. I know I’ll be dancing again in no time!

Just saw the preview of Toyota's Super Bowl commercial on the Today Show. I Loved it😍❤️So inspiring!👍 Definitely made me teary-eyed😢

TODAY shares a first look at a Toyota ad that will premiere on Super Bowl Sunday. It’s their first commercial that doesn’t feature a car or truck.

Never be afraid to be yourself!
I use to hide my legs by wearing long pants all the time, until I met my husband and he told me I need to show them off. Once I did...I’ve never stopped!
We recently took a trip to Kauai for our 5th anniversary and it was amazing! Being on the beach by the ocean was so relaxing...but walking in the sand sure was a workout!

I can't wait to see this movie! This clip really brought back a lot memories for me. I will never forget when I stood on my prosthetics for the first time...I only weighed 98lbs and was weak from being so sick in the hospital so standing up on them hurt SO BAD I thought will I be able to do this? Will I ever walk again?
It's now 18 years later and I am walking like a champ🙌💪

Met my hubby towards the end of the finish line and ran through with him!
A short run is better than no run all!

When you step outside your comfort zone and try something that you were afraid to do... you feel pretty amazing afterwards! 💪😁🙌💯
I wasn't sure about going down the slide at first - but thanks to my awesome friends who helped me, I was able to do it. I went down the slide 3 times and I'm so glad I did! It was so fun!
