In this powerful conversation, Rick and Katy explore the critical moments that saved her life, the emotional and physical realities of being a multiple amputee, and the urgency of knowing the signs of sepsis. This is more than an interview, it’s a wake-up call and a testament to the power of grit, hope, and purpose.
