Codd’s struggles began at the age of fifteen with a severe football injury. Despite undergoing numerous operations, she continued to suffer from debilitating pain.She described the eventual amputation of her first leg as a form of liberation, a step towards alleviating the constant suffering. However, navigating life with prosthetics presented new challenges.

over time, Codd found herself walking “on tiptoes” to compensate, a habit that placed immense strain on the joints of her remaining healthy leg. This led to further complications, culminating in the removal of all her toes in 2021 in an attempt to manage the escalating pain. As she poignantly shared, “It was past the point where they could do anything about it.I had to lose all my toes… My leg looked like a little hamburger.” Despite this intervention,doctors cautioned that her condition would likely worsen.

Determined to continue working and living as fully as possible, Codd persevered despite the limitations imposed by her condition. Ultimately, she realized that a second amputation offered the best path forward. With characteristic optimism, she stated, “I’ve been through it once before. I think I’ll be pretty unstoppable with two prosthetics.”

Codd is now focused on a healing period of approximately one to one-and-a-half months, after which she will begin adapting to life with two new prosthetics. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience, self-advocacy, and the pursuit of a better quality of life in the face of immense physical challenges.We at World Today News wish her a swift and full recovery.
