In this episode, host Kevin Gray welcomes David Hersh, whose story of resilience, recovery, and reinvention spans over two decades. What began as a seemingly minor accident in his driveway in 1998 led to years of chronic pain, surgeries, and ultimately, the difficult decision to amputate his leg. David’s journey is one of perseverance through physical and emotional challenges, including struggles with addiction and the strength it took to rebuild his life.
Now 67 and retired in Arizona, David shares the wisdom he’s gained through experience — from navigating rehab and phantom pain, to embracing peer support and helping others as a support group leader. His perspective is raw, honest, and deeply moving, offering hard-earned insight into what it means to live a full life after limb loss.
Tune in to hear how one man’s decision to move forward became the foundation for a life of purpose, service, and healing.
