[AMP-L] Finding Level Ground in an Unlevel World: Milissa’s Story

[Wayne Renardson]

via The O&P Edge:

If you´ve ever been to Pittsburgh, you know it´s difficult to find 
level ground. The Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers combine to create 
the Ohio River, and through the millennia have carved a deep valley 
surrounded by steep mountains. Staircases have street names, and 
there are two historic inclines to take you from The Flats to Mount 
Washington. Driving around the city, you´re guaranteed to cross over 
a few bridges and through at least one tunnel. Emerging from the dark 
of the Fort Pitt tunnel showcases the world-famous view of the city 
skyline. Milissa has lived in the suburbs outside the city her whole 
life. She is a fearless expert at navigating the narrow roads at the 
edge of sharp bluffs and quick lane changes on the lower level of 
Fort Pitt Bridge. One day, however, life threw a new obstacle in her 
path that isn´t unique to Western Pennsylvania.  

Two years after the accident that resulted in a transtibial 
amputation, Milissa has gotten used to overcoming everyday obstacles 
with a fixed ankle carbon fiber foot.
