How to get the right help...I am at a lose
by Deleted User on Jul 10, 2018, 04:54PM

My husband had a logging accident 2.5 yrs ago that left him an amputee below the knee. He has an appliance that he wears but only for 5-6 steps then he has to take it off. There is a problem with the knee and we can not find a dr. That is willing to touch him because the original surgery was a screw up and no one wants to fix the mess up. The Drs. We have seen want to amputate above the knee and my husband does not want to do that. He is in a horrible state of depression and is drinking his life away. I am so lost and trying to find the right help for him but he is kinda giving up. I don’t know what to do. If anyone can give me any help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank u

Hi, there. I just sent you an e-mail. Let’s connect over the phone next week and discuss some possible resources for your husband. Thanks, Eileen
