    Fuxk, man, I am so sorry to hear that. My cousin had his leg amputated a few years ago. I sure hope you have insurance that will pay for a DECENT prosthetic.

    all my love to you! xoxoxo

    Hi TOTH! Welcome back

    All I know from watching a program or two, there's more choices of prosthesis these days. If one type isn't working, there's another.

    Also, you may be able to find a couple of online forums, as well as find more info online regarding this subject.

    I'm pretty much a Google (search engine) junkie.

    It costs about $50-75 thousand for a GOOD prosthetic leg.

    Anyone on board who is RICH, and I am not JOKING, why don't you contact TOTH and help him out? I know you are out there - how much do you REALLY care?

    Sorry Toth, to hear about how Diabetes has complicated your life to the extent of losing your leg. I have battled diabetes for many years, and like many who have this illness live in worry about the complications that could happen.

    The prosthetic is the best way to go. I know of some who just gave up, and surrendered into a wheel chair. I know that it's a shock to face the loss of your leg. I remember being in a hospital hallway, and seeing one of my collegues just after it had happened to him. But, he was a fighter, and today you wouldn't know that he walks with a prosthetic.

    Keep a positive attitude. That is the best that you can do.
