Losing a Limb, Not Hope: A Journey of Resilience and Recovery

Linda Moore doesn’t just want to walk again—she wants to dance. In this inspiring episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland sits down with Linda, a 69-year-old from Rantoul, Illinois, whose determination and humor carried her through a challenging above-knee amputation and intense rehabilitation. After losing her leg in November 2024, she underwent three weeks of rigorous therapy at OSF HealthCare Heart of Mary Medical Center, learning to balance, strengthen her residual limb, and regain mobility.

Linda’s therapist, Deidre Murphy, recalls her positive attitude, resilience, and ability to turn even difficult moments into fun, making her an unforgettable patient. Now Linda is preparing to take the next step—adjusting to a prosthetic leg. She knows the journey isn’t easy, but with her unwavering optimism, she’s determined to dance her limitations away.

Tune in for an uplifting conversation about perseverance, the power of a positive mindset, and why Linda believes attitude is everything. #LimbLoss #Resilience #NeverGiveUp #adaptiveliving
