    • About Me

      I have a BK amputation of my left leg due to complications from diabetes. I had 23 yrs with the Chicago Fire Department. Now Im living in Florida. Got my prosthesis in March 07. Im doing so much more than I ever thought would be possible! Physical therapy helped me a lot. Do your exercises. Its a challenge but it can be overcome. Concentration and attitude are the main things.
