...See more Hi everyone, My name is Mia. I am a post grad student, and engineer. I am also a triple amputee. I lost both legs above the knee and my right arn above the elbow back in 2019 due to a bacterial infection- meningitis. I also lost complete control of my bladder and bowels. It was a rough couple of years but I made it I guess and I have a long way to go. Recently my incontinence has been really difficult to manage and it has not been the easiest topic to discuss with people. I spend some time on communities such as the message boards on nafc.org which is the 'national association for continence' and I reached out to them with my story and it made one of their stories. https://www.nafc.org/bhealth-blog/patient-perspective-asking-for-help-is-ok-living-with-incontinence-as-a-college-student I feel like i will help so many people my age by sharing this and letting them know they are not alone. If anyone has any questions please let me know and I will try and answer them best i can. -Mia
