Farm accident
Yesterday a friend of mine got his foot caught in a auger in a grain cart. He was trying to kick some rice down and his son was sitting on the tractor and he let the clutch out to try and jerk it loose. It tore it off at the ankle but they are going to have amputate below the knee so that the prostesis will fit better. Another bad thing is that he has recently found out that he is diabetic. That will make the healing much harder and longer. He has farmed all his life and is nearing retirement. We just all need to be more careful.
Eight Cubs-finally got a '57.

I read this earlier and didn't know how to post my best wishes for his recovery. I do know a number of people with an artificial leg below the knee and most of them dance. Dance any dance anybody else dances. I pray for his recovery to be equally as complete. The only complaint i have heard from them is that you still have to buy a pair of shoes. Franks daughter has 2 young kids and she still out runs them. I have danced jitterbug with her. and rock and roll.

Sorry to read about your friends mishap. I swear to God farming is very dangerous and something you should never do alone.
Well, if anything good can be said. The war in Iraq has definately caused a lot of research on artifical limbs. There are some very good artifical hands, legs, and feet now available. Keep his spirits up!
