    This summer me and two other amputee friends are planning a bike ride from Clarksville OH to Kansas City  Missouri to raise money for the Paddy Rossbach youth amputee camp. The ACA foots the bill to send the young amps to camp at a cost of about $2000.00 a kid. We plan to ride out from Camp Joy in Clarksville and arrive at the ACA conferance in Kansas City.

    Yearly reminder

    Monday, March 1, 2010, 8:46 AM [General]

    Today, March 1, 2010, marks the day that forever changed my life. It was on this very day in 2006 that a bullet tore through my left upper thigh and exited my calf. The path that the bullet traveled was the same place my femoral artery could be found. Needless to say the artery was mangled beyond repair and the leg had to be amputated above the knee two days later on March 3rd….. On this day, the first day of March I celebrate life. I should have died that night, but our dear Lord didn’t want me to come home yet. He left me here to be a father, a husband, a son, a brother, and a friend. Today is my yearly reminder to think about the things that really matter in life. Help me celebrate today by doing the little things that show people who you are. We are the children of God.  So, hug and hold your children, get your spouse a flower, hold the door for a stranger, tell someone how much you love them, because it could all be gone tomorrow.

    You know it's not just tennis that causes it. I'm just lucky I'm a female. If I was a male I'd be getting told to quit doing other things. lol. Thanks for the laugh John.

    Hey John I just want to thank you again for your advice. I did find a c-leg on Ebay! However I was wondering if your having any problems getting yours serviced? I have contacted Ossur and Otto Bock and it seems as if neither want to touch it! I cant understand this at all its like buying a used car only to have no one work on it..lol Do you have any idea of who would work on a used Rheo or c-leg? Thanks again for you help and advice. Best wishes Candice
