Gradually, things took a turn for the worse, with Amanda&#8217;s body falling into septic shock. In order to stop things from progressing any further, Amanda underwent several surgeries to remove both of her legs below the knee, as well as the majority of her fingers. After spending a month and a half in the hospital, Amanda then spent another 4-5 months at home recovering &#8211; and even re-learning how to walk!\n\nPrior to her amputations, Amanda worked as a professional tattoo artist. Despite everyone (including doctors) telling her that she&#8217;d never be able to continue this job again, Amanda refused to believe this. Through perseverance and determination, Amanda learned to adapt; to approach her crafts in a new way, in order to continue doing the things she loves best.
