"In our pain we find our greatest powers"

Five years ago today was the most horrifying day of my life. I was in a horrible accident.

I was told time and time again that I was going to lose my leg.

After a 6 month stay in the hospital, in SEVERE PAIN, I literally was disappointed in what my life threw at me.

I was weak ...I was angry...I was everything wrong that happens in life.

My leg, as you can see, was left with a scar.

Its not pretty.

I get mixed reactions from my leg. Some are sad for me, some tell me its not pretty, but I am so very lucky to say that I have my own leg..my own foot that I can look down at and match a pair of shoes and see my toes!

Can I walk? Yes. But with pain and with extreme edema and not for long periods ...but I am well.
