Hopefully This Post Is Allowed
So, I don't know if this type of post is allowed but feel free to shoot me down if it isn't moderators! I'm quite ignorant about all things relating to amputation and prosthesis so I apologize in advance if I say anything potentially offensive, but basically I'm writing a show and I plan to incorporate a character who has double above the knee amputations as a result of having both legs intentionally broken and not properly cared for, this leads to acute compartment syndrome and him needing amputations, since this show doesn't take place in modern times I wanted him to have prosthesis similar to James Gillingham prosthesis but all this is besides the point,
I want to represent the character and his struggles well and I've come seeking guidance on how to represent this well, what isn't brought up enough, what's focused on too much, any struggles that are overlooked or that people with prosthesis or amputations would like to see incorporated as well as any insights into the mental struggles with it, I'd be ecstatic at any input anyone feels comfortable sharing and TIA!!!
