About

I’m Lisa, and I became an amputee in my late 40s after dealing with a long-term injury. When I went looking for real, relatable stories about amputation and mobility challenges, I found a whole lot of inspiration porn and not much practical help.

So I created Up Down Walk With Lisa – a place for honest, snarky, actually useful content about what life with an amputation really looks like. No pity. No forced inspiration. Just real talk for people navigating amputation, their caregivers, and the medical professionals who support them.

Whether you’re dealing with amputation yourself, caring for someone who is, or working in the field, welcome.

Now let’s get real.
