A Quadruple Amputee and the Dog that Saved Her

[@SpecialBooksbySpecialKids]

As mentioned in this video, Wyndi uses a wrist brace and places different objects (brush, utensils, ect.) in it to complete various tasks. It is her dream to one day have prosthetic hands that have fingers. You can help Wyndi attain these prosthetics at bit.ly/HelpWyndi . She created this fundraiser and all contributions go directly to her. Thank you!

[@Joemnc]

Donated

[@snowwhite7571]

No disrespect, I hope the hospital, compensated her for their part! Everything that's going to make her life easier should be taken care of by the hospital, IMO. She's incredibly a beautiful woman inside and out! It takes time and mental strength, physical strength to change a completely different way of living all the changes that's happened to her. Day by day learning and trying different ways to make living easier for her. I love her honesty and ability to speak about this situation. She would be a great woman to go into hospital's and care places that people are dealing with what's She's been through. She's AMAZING!❤️🙏 BTW, your puppy is so adorable!!

[@natscat4752]

So happy to donate to this lovely woman’s fundraiser.

[@diamondrl0]

it's so sad that the public sanitary system won't help people have what they need, you have to be rich in order to be healthy and fine

[@51marshmellow]

Chris, I was so touched by Wyndi. What and amazing, courageous and truthful woman willing to share her life with us. Thank you for introducing her to us❤

[@anactualalpaca7016]

I love how he edits the video to show them, talking about something traumatic and generally not a good experience, and then cuts to them talking about stuff that makes them happy. He does this a lot in his videos and it's a great, subtle way to show that despite all the awful stuff people go through there's always something to smile about

[@patientzero5685]

You are very observant- he does do that 😊

[@AJ-si4he]

I never noticed this before but you’re absolutely right! It also helps viewers who may be more sensitive to the traumatic topics to have an easier time watching the videos. It makes it more accessible and easier to watch for everyone, and like you said, shows that life with disability is so much more than just the difficult stuff. He really does do an amazing job.

[@pacemarshall9358]

I felt really compelled to comment and let Wyndi know that every time she called herself a freak I cried. You're not a freak. You seem like a lovely person who has been dealt a traumatic hand of cards and is learning to survive and thrive. You have good days and you have bad days. But you're not a freak. You're Wyndi!

[@sarac.3259]

Absolutely - and what a beautiful face with such joy, and she looks so much younger than her age.

My friend had a quadruple amputation and heart transplant due to complications from COVID. She had a beautiful life with her husband and young son. She struggled a lot and the PTSD was very real. She just recently passed away from complications arising from her heart transplant, plus having pneumonia and kidney failure. Praying you find peace and acceptance with your journey. Please know you’re not alone. 🙏🏼❤️

I am so sorry. What an incredibly tough time some people have. May your friend rest in peace. Condolences to you and to all who loved her.

This is the kind of stuff I think about when people make rude comments about how they had COVID and it was like the flu and try to make light of the pandemic. Well, it’s not like that for everyone. Be grateful. So sorry about your friend, COVID is such an awful, randomly cruel illness.

[@sarahrose90]

I’m so so terribly sorry ❤️

[@litneyloxan]

I love her honesty and her smile. Her love for her dog is so pure. She has such a beautiful spirit and energy. I call my cat my tri-pawd baby, pirate kitty was her old nickname so I loved her shirt when I saw it. We rescued her as an abandoned kitten and she needed a hind leg/tail amputation the next day to be able to thrive and get around. She is so loved and has been my emotional support animal. I know this is nothing compared to what Wyndi went through but it reminded me of both their strength and will to get through things with the love of a family.

[@eman6940]

Make god Bless you and your beautiful cat 🙏✝️

[@Kirmeins]

Yes! I couldn't help but think the same about her smile and her spirit! It is such a bright light in the room, I'd just love to spend time with her! If those old friends cannot see this then they're not worth your time, Wyndi. But I hope it's just a case of not knowing what would be okay to invite you to and having to get used to your different physical appearance without feeling sad for you for what you lost. I know I'd feel sad and helpless had I been your friend before the accident and then seeing you after. I hope your friends can overcome this together with you soon. :) Personally, I just plain admire who you are. I wish you the very best and hope to see an update from you someday!

[@jeanetteh.9240]

Wyndi, if you have not yet sued the hospital, please do so before the time limit runs out. The strep was almost certainly picked up at the hospital, and they are the ones responsible for failing to maintain proper protocols. You are going to need funds to maintain a good quality of life. Find a personal injury attorney who will take your case on a contingency basis, preferably one who specializes in medical malpractice. He will need to be in the county where the injury occurred. All the best to you!

[@kavitadeva]

That's kind of you. Indeed I hope she could find a great medical malpractice Attorney. Some people just don't think that way unfortunately.

[@getitoutofme]

Good advice, but don't forget that you can't win a case just for picking up MRSA or strep. You need to be able to prove that the medical team did act negligently (for example, re-using needles, not identifying symptoms of infection, poor disinfection procedures, lack of PPE etc). There is always a chance of catching strep infections in hospital, in fact you can even become infected in everyday life if you get a cut as strep naturally resides on the skin. You need to prove that it was a direct cause of specific medically negligent behaviours to be able to successfully sue.

[@vasfengaripedi1030]

I am a recent amputee and I can see things are going to be OK. thank you so much for sharing your life with us. I hope amazing friends come your way to go out and have many many lunches and dinners together. you are awesome.

I have great admiration for you. You are an amazing lady. I had sepsis and lost 9 toes. I think I am lucky to only lose to that. They don't know what caused it. I have a great community, family and friends that have helped me through. I live in New Zealand and people seem more accepting of disabled people here. I wish you all the best for the future 🙏 ❤️ 💙

[@jsrsd]

i feel a great deal of kinship with this woman. you can absolutely intensely feel how much a normal, lower class, middle american she is. this experience is so unfair. the idea that people go through this strife, you can hear her trying her very hardest to be strong, but vulnerable. the way she shows her wristbrace hand solution. she's clearly somewhat afraid of derision, but proud that she has a solution that keeps her self sufficent, self reliant. she, even more than some other adult/independent living SBSK interviewees, feels extremely like she could of been any of the rest of us, we could be her at some point in our lives. i hope she knows love her whole life.

[@TBIhope]

Oh my gosh your story is shockingly similar to mine. I fell off a cliff and was rescued by helicopter. I also don’t remember my first helicopter ride because I was unconscious! I was in a coma for three months and it took me two years to learn to walk (no amputations, just nerve damage from the TBI). I had suicidal ideation and was diagnosed with PTSD, and it’s hard sometimes because I don’t know what God’s doing, but I know He’s there. Like you, I should be dead. I’m so so so grateful that you shared your experiences. You’ve made me so happy and so hopeful.

[@batacumba]

Glad you’re still with us. ❤

In a way I don't understand that she found out an animal can be your soulmate and important supporter, but at the same time she can live in a room with all these heads from dead stags 😟. I couldn't see them every day....

[@vanilllapeaches]

So sad she’s not doing well at the moment :’( From her campaign: I’m currently in the hospital but I wanted to say a quick thank you to all the thoughts and prayers, kind words, and especially to those who donated money. As of right now I’ve had surgery on my right leg and I am unable to stand. My vision is no longer good and there’s a possibility that I need to see a respiratory therapist, so if you’ll please keep me in your thoughts and prayers I will greatly appreciate it.

[@Hana.Behl-Lecter]

[@higgaroc]

I could see this awesome lady and Miss Mazi doing motivational speaking at schools, churches or rehab centers. She’s got a lovely personality and such a nice speaking voice. She keeps it real about how tough it has been and is, but clearly has the heart of a lion. People feel inspired and hopeful knowing there are strong, hopeful people (and dogs!)in the world, advocating for keeping the faith and being loving, no matter what. You’re amazing 💕💕💕

[@zoyadulzura7490]

I was thinking the same thing. That is a great option if she's interested in that.

[@Mallowolf]

A close relationship with animals can be so healing, they don't see things in the same convoluted way we humans sometimes do, and that can be very calming and grounding. No matter what you've gone through or how you see yourself, that little dog loves you with her whole being and is glad to have you in her world. Thank you for sharing your story Wyndi.

[@conlon4332]

Wow, becoming disabled at 40 must be so hard. I mean, by that point you must think you have your life figured out, and then having to adjust to losing both your feet and hands, and so unexpectedly too, now wonder you struggled! But you're doing amazingly! It always amazes me how much people with limbs missing can actually do! Like, you think no legs no way you could walk, but nope! It's just incredible! And don't let anyone tell you you're not beautiful, because you are! I know how hard it can be to deal with big changes in your appearance, it can take a long time until you look in the mirror and really relate to what you see and fully recognise it as you. Like obviously you know it's you, but on one level it's not how you feel you should look like. I went through that when I gained a lot of weight and changed shape a lot in my teenage years... it took many years for my body to feel right. So yeah I know it's hard when it's so different, and even more differences for you, but you still look really beautiful. And you don't look like you're in your forties! I was surprised to hear that, you look younger! Keep being you and being amazing.

It's all I know, but a life changing event at 40 like you experienced must be very hard. I wish I knew you. My husband bought a house that would be very accessable, wide hall, no stairs. I still walk with a brace and now a cane, walker when I go anywhere, but he was thinking of my later years. I lost my husband in 2019, I isolated even more. It's not good, but trying to fix that. I was a loner because of disability. We are treated differently. Your attitude will get you to a great place in your life. 🙏🙏

[@wylancslass]

Oh gosh! I am in the UK but I so wish I lived closer to Wyndi. I would love to join her for a meal. I am sure we would have a great time. I can't even begin to imagine what this lady has gone through. I just would like to say this though. If your "friends" have deserted you now, they really weren't friends in the first place. Please stop making excuses for them. Find some new friends. I'm here although at the moment can't be there physically.

I used to believe the comments that said these videos helped me in a dark time were fake or exaggerated.

[@lucciddreamerr]

Man, I'm in tears listening to this video. My mom was paralyzed from the chest down after an accidental overdose in 2020 and became wheelchair bound. Everything you described was exactly what she had described to me. The isolation, the loneliness, the embarrassment and loss of independence. She completely isolated herself. I can count on one hand the amount of times she let us go in public with her but every time we did she ended up in tears from the amount of people who stared at her. She was extremely insecure due to her tracheostomy hole and always tried to wear scarfs to hide it. She couldn't wait to get that fixed. I wish she could've watched this video. I wish she would've stayed around a little longer to realize that life didn't end when she lost her ability to walk. She could have found her independence again, she could have lived a full life and still be here today. June 4th 2022 my momma went to the hospital for pneumonia, the third time that year, she wasn't doing well at all and her oxygen levels were around 70%. 9PM that night she placed a DNR on herself and had them shut off her oxygen and turn on a morphine drip. By 4am, June 5th, my momma was gone. I got to talk to her one last time, she told me she was sorry and she couldn't do it anymore, this was her chance to go. I miss her every day and every time I see these videos I can't help but think of her. I wish she could've held on, I wish we could have helped her heal.

[@psychohelmetfounder]

@@advertisedmanpower7155 not saying this was good. But there could be a lesson from this experience that God wants her to learn and share with the world. Not trying to be like a spokesperson for God lol but if you think about her lifestyle before all this, it was very extravagant and high end. Accountants make quite good money And known for partaking in pleasures that only exorbitant amounts of money can bring. Something saw fit to inflict her with a bad infection that costed her all her limbs. Some people call it luck, Karma , God. Even she says that what kept her going was her faith which means she must have questioned at one point what she may have done to deserve this. And it appears she has come to terms with it. She is as a result a better person inside.

This woman is amazing and I totally wish her the best .❤

Omg wow!! I have no words. This lady has amazed me beyond words. I can’t imagine how hard that was. I know a 7 year old that had his leg amputated because of a lawn mower when he was just 6. I know this sounds so much worse, but think about it. He has his whole entire life to adapt to those changes, meanwhile she’s been living a normal life for 40 years, until one day she isn’t. Losing a leg/arm is devastating no matter what, and I support anyone out there struggling with this. The 7 year old that I know has taught me so much about amputees and how hard it can be. But there’s still so much out there people like him and her can do! My young friend has actually continued his gymnastics classes even after losing his leg, and he still plays rough with his brothers and has lots of fun.

Seriously, I wish I lived closer because I just know we’d be friends and I’d be going out to lunches and dinners and hanging out all the time! I’d love to hang out with you! I pray some of your friends see this and learn the error and reach out and reconnect.

This woman is such a ray of sunshine. I really hope she gets the prosthesis she needs and help her attain more mobility!

This is a woman of tremendous faith & strength. I don’t have a physical disability, nor do I know anyone who is physically disabled, but Wyndi’s story touched my heart & gave me awareness of handicapped people. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You’ve got a community of folks here who appreciate & accept you for who you are!

That is so sweet that your son brought a friend with a baby over to give you that beautiful experience. He knew just what his momma needed to ease your fears. You've done a good job momma. 💜
