Close Amputees
October 20 I lost my right leg below the knee from a MRSA infection. My doctor was on her honeymoon and no one else would help me until it was too late.
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Brandon is a great, and patient therapist. I go twice a week for an hour . I was doing exercise for the left knee since all the pressure after the BKA was strating to wear on it.
- Prosthetic Device Working / Worked
- I'm still a little intimidated by the "thing". But I'm getting better. I just struggle with having to lean over and watch my feet or "sharing the road" with the two feet.
Close Glaucoma
I'm a 32 year old right below the knee amputee. I was diagnoed at 15 with glaucome. My dad and grandmother both had the disease, my grandmother completely blind and my dad almost. I' also diabetic and am starting to show some damage to my eyes because of that. Luckily I have the best doctor in the world to help slow down the disease process.
Treatments
Open Diabetes Type 2
I'm a 32 year old below the knee amputee on the right side. I lost my leg dues to MRSA with complications due to diabetes. I've had diabetes for 10 years but hail from a family on my mother's side that all are diabetics. My mom lost her leg and finger and went into kidney failure. Knowing that, I'm scared to death I have a similar fate.
