How all this started:

Back in March of 2006. Harry was getting onto a fork lift on the job site as he was stepping up his foot slipped between the rungs and he started to fall backwards. His foot got caught in the rungs and actually kept him from probably falling and breaking his back. Instead he broke his foot in 5 places. Being a diabetic since he was 18 years old, he doesn't feel his feet very well. He walked around on that broken foot for a few days until it turned purple and was finally killing him. Off to the ER we went and 3 months later he had surgery on it putting in bolts and pins. He had to have special shoes made and then to stable him a little better they added a leg brace. See pictures below.

Aren't these nice looking shoes? They only cost around $900.00. They cast his feet and specially ordered these shoes. They were great. But as his luck would have it his foot never really healed. He did all he could and all the Doctors ordered him to do.

So infection finally took over his body and it

was bad and it was MRSA/STAPH.

Only thing left to do was to amputate it.

Things went from bad to worse and

then to Miraculous! Any way insert new foot!

Now, look!!! New shoes!!!

I still can't believe it sometimes.
