Why wouldn't he take it?

That's brilliant! I'm really glad for you, it sucks to see stories like yours where families are snowed under by debt in the end.

Best of luck to you in the future!

Wow that new one sounds amazing!will you get to keep your current one? I'm assuming you're in the US? Does your insurance cover all this for you?

Good shout out not getting a mad pattern, you're totally right, I suppose it would be a bit like getting a tattoo on a whim! Best stick to something classic.

Hi! I have a few questions for you!

Do you ever wish you'd had the leg amputated when your first doc suggested it?

How much choice did you get in what the prosthesis would look like? (If any! We're there different colours?!)

How long did it take you to learn to walk with the prosthesis?

Do you have more than one prosthesis? One for athletics and one for day to day for instance? You said you played/were going to play tennis, will you wear the same prosthesis for this as you do just to walk around?

Thanks for doing this AMA, you seem like a great guy with a really refreshing and positive outlook!

I've heard that Nordstrom's sell mismatched shoes. I couldn't find anything on their website but this site has an interesting discussion about it
