Done. Strong character overcome significant obstacles most humans w/o an incident or birth issue take for granted.We have a long road ahead but she has grit and is tougher than most men I know!
same.Praying for her successful surgery and elk hunting this fall
Thank you for the encouraging words!A kid I grew up with lost his leg below the knee in Vietnam. Eddie adapted very well. I vividly remember him waterskiing on one leg at our summer cottage. Most people wouldn't know he had a prosthetic. My elderly neighbour across the street similarly lost his leg below the knee in a 1930s logging accident. I never knew until I went over to check on him one morning shortly before he died and he was still in his bathrobe. I am sure your wife can look forward to an active and more "normal" lifestyle. All the best.
Thoughts and prayers are with your family.Prayer request for my wife Casey. In 2018 she was hit by a uninsured driver and suffered several broken bones including her femur at the hip socket. They performed several surgical procedures but her sciatic nerve was severed. She developed drop foot in her left leg below the knee and hypersensitivity in her foot. She had to wear an orthopedic boot brace and could only walk a max of a mile without extreme pain. As I type this she is in being prepared to have her leg amputated below the knee. This sounds drastic but with a prosthetic leg she will be able to do so much more including wearing 2 shoes vs one shoe and a worthless orthopedic boot. She said last night that she hopes she will be able to go out West elk hunting with me this fall! She loves fishing, camping, and hunting but it had been a chore for her the past several years. I was able to take her out in the deer blind this past season but the hike was all she wanted. We have a long road ahead but she has grit and is tougher than most men I know!View attachment 171951
