Forced out of the pool by unrelenting pain, the swimmer Morgan Stickney elected to have her leg amputated below the knee. It was a groundbreaking medical procedure that may change the course of her life, and the future of amputations. After ruling out prescription painkillers to relieve her excruciating foot pain, Morgan decided to undergo an amputation designed to enhance the vitality and the possibilities for the portion of her limb that remains. Those possibilities include the potential of one day connecting the lower leg muscles to a robotic prosthesis. The operation is not yet perfect, but in Morgan’s case, it’s been transformative: Within weeks of her amputation last spring, Morgan was back in the #pool, #swimming before she could even walk. By December, she had won the 400- and 100-meter freestyle races at the @usparalympics national championships in Arizona. And while her experience has not been seamless, Morgan’s national team dreams, once abandoned, are flickering back into view. @rachelwoolfphoto shot this photo of Morgan at the U.S. #Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
