What Happens After an Amputation?

I've laid out a bit of the typical timeline following an amputation here but everyone is unique, right?  So everyone's timeline will be different...but hopefully this video gives you a frame of reference :)


2 bonus knowledge nuggets gained from this video:  1.  What do you call a limb after an amputation?  Residual limb.  And 2.  What is it called when you feel painful sensations that seem to be coming from the limb that is no longer there?  Phantom limb pain.  Go team!
