<font size="+1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">I am asking what I am about
to ask out of curiosity and not<br>
with a lack of feeling for the plight of Carrie Brooks:<br>
<br>
Roger -- Did you really mean what you wrote, that "she will<br>
probably be in a wheelchair for life, ...."<br>
<br>
We see men and women who have lost legs in Iraq fitted<br>
with prostheses which enable them to walk, run and even<br>
compete athletically. <br>
<br>
But I don't know that I've ever seen a prosthesis for a<br>
foot.<br>
<br>
Are such made? Does this woman have a chance of being<br>
fitted and learning to walk, such that she is not totally<br>
confined to a wheelchair for life?<br>
<br>
At this point, Roger, your assessment of her attitude/outlook<br>
seems very positive. Maybe she is an excellent candidate<br>
for prostheses and physical therapy, etc.<br>
<br>
Just wondering.<br>

<pre wrap="">Good news- She is lucid, in good spirits and taking about lessons plans( she is a teacher).
Bad new- both feet will need to be amputated and she will probably be in a wheelchair for life, but she is not depressed and is happy to be alive.
