My first year

    Thursday, April 26, 2012, 9:19 PM [General]

    I want to say hello to everyone here and to anyone that reads this. On April 18 I had my 1year anniversary since my life changed. Its been a crazy 1st year. I never tought that as a grown man i would need to learn how to walk again and teach my self how to get around again. But here i am doing all that. Its crazy doing all this and learning to be a dad for the first time. But having my boy I have all the motivation and hope that l life will get better. I think about how i am going to explain to my boy when he is old enough to understand and begins to ask why he has two legs and daddy only has one. I guess ill face that when that day comes. For now i am so happy to be here with him and my family. I think about that day when i woke up from my coma and was told that i lost my left leg below the knee. It really mest me up then 5mins later finding out that i was going to be a dad for the first time, that was so crazy. I was so close to kicking the bucket after my accident that the worst part of all that would have been not ever been able to hold my son. I feel so lucky to still be here and love life now and appreciate every day I get. I want to give thanks to all my family and love ones that have helped me through this tough year. I want to thank everyone on here that have become friends and have giving me advice and motivation to keep my head up. Thank you. Lets see what this next year has for me. I hope to help someone on here or somewhere dealing with the same problems or any problem deal with it. Again thank you all. Vamp.

But i will say this I have a great family that is there for me all the time. I hope everyone is doing great and hope to talk to you guys soon. Latz, Vamp.

    Hi Saul, We both lost our legs while riding motorcycle. Mine was against a Ford explorer. So you're an LA Kings fan? You guys have Richards now. He actually signed a card and sent it to me from the Flyers last year on my 1 year anniversary of losing my leg.
