via Galway Daily:

A young Galway mother has spoken about the challenges of daily life 
after having both of her legs amputated this year.  

Eilís Ní Chonghaile from Indreabhán spoke on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta 
on Friday about how she does not yet have any home care assistance 
due to personnel shortages.  

The mother of two, now living in An Spidéal, had suffered from back 
pain and sciatica for four years, but suddenly the feeling in her 
legs went in February.  

She was unable to stand, and she was rushed to hospital.

"I was afraid, but still I thought it was the disk in my back gone, I 
never thought it was anything more," she said.  

"I was only in hospital about an hour and a half when they told me  
they were getting a vascular surgeon down to talk to me.
