    • About Me

      I was born with a rare bone disease called Olliers.It cause tumors to form in the bones.It also affects the growth of bones .It made my right leg shorter than my left after several surgeries through my childhood to try to make the leg grow and to stop the growth of the left one when i was 15 the doctors said amputation below the knee might be best.It was a hard decision but today Iam glad I made it.I can do alot more now my bone in my upper leg is still weak and I have to be careful not to fall but all in all life as an amputee is not so bad.

      Hey, here it is the end of August of 2008! I did think of you during the Bristol race on Saturday. Wishing, and hoping you'll be back on-line soon. Either from the library, or a new, or friends computer. Would be nice for ALL of us to know your alright. Surely missed by all of US here on DS. In our thoughts, words, and prayers. Mike
