There's an emotional side to Rehab. my injury was 7 weeks ago,  on the 3rd of October. Because I’m a below the knee amputee on the left side, I lost my leg when I was 3 months old, I was born with club foot and they put a plastic cast on me too tight and gangrene set in. This happened in the States. Everyone makes that face and I make that face too, but it happened in New Jersey. It’s very difficult because I’m 57, I grew up without having my left leg and a lot of any of the rehab I did in that sense was as a baby, or as a young child and that was learning how to wear prosthetics and stuff like that. So, this situation brings me into a whole other array of issues. Emotional issues and functional issues. I'm bending at 40 degrees
