Damn, last train to Gnartown. That's hardcore, I hope he makes a full (well... as close to "full" as he can, I guess) recovery.

health wise hes doing ok, but the gov. wont aprove him for disability or medical help. he wont get a prostetic or be able to pay his mountain of medical bills without it. right now, the future looks very dim.

That's rough, man. You can't depend on the government for anything. Never could. I hope he makes it out with his sanity.

that was gone long before he went 12 rounds with the Gov. hes a though guy, he'll make something work. right now, just so he can walk arond the house, he duct taped a cane in a boot to his jeans. suprisingly he can walk without a limp.

I don't really understand why people BUY prosthetics. With my current junior-year Highschool education, I could already make a fake leg that increases strength and speed by 400%. In that one spot, of course...

ya but a prostetic needs to be custom fitted and you probably dont have that kind of expertise. and most people that get prostetics dont care about being stronger or faster, they just want a new limb that works.

Yeah, I may not have that expertise. And I understand that most people just want a limb that works, but I'm saying that I am capable of making it stronger/faster.

Woah.
So like, he was hit by the train? How'd that happen? Good luck it wasn't his arm or something.
He should totally get a hand prosthetic for it though.

he said he was walking beside the train when he slipped and fell forward, the train's step-up ladder hit his backpack and threw his right leg under the train. he said he got rolled sideways when his leg got taken, and the spun around so he was about a foot from the wheels passing by and his arms missed the wheels until he rolled away. he cant get a prostetic because he doesnt have any money or insurance. also the governmant and state agencies wont help. so he duct taped a cane to a pair of old jeans and is using that to walk around.

Wow, that's.. detailed.
Why won't the government or state help?

he says they wont help him because hes in too good of health. weird huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, pretty weird. So he has to wait until his health gets sucky from lack of a decent leg then, huh? D:
Aren't there, like, independent organizations that help people get stuff like that?
