[AMP-L] Limb Loss Awareness Month [Video]

[Wayne Renardson]

via KPLC Louisiana:

It´s limb loss awareness month - a time to celebrate the resilience of the 
amputee community. According to the amputee coalition, more than two 
million Americans are living with limb loss, with another 28 million at 
risk of amputation.  

We spoke to a Lake Charles man who lost his leg in 2016, and learned 
how far he´s come in his recovery over the past 6 years.  

A trucking accident in 2016 left Gary Robertson with only his right leg.  

"From the shin down, my leg got twisted off, and when it twisted it off- 
like actually off my body. My knee got splintered, so they had to cut me  
above the knee, and I´ve been an amputee since then," said Robertson.
