mobility you'll have the easier it is for you to walk and all so they were like okay we're gonna take it here and it just kept dying like the tissue just kept rotting away and so they were like it was like a they would literally saran wrap it like a meat slicer and they just go in like every other day and just cut it off and so like horrific and I was like awake for like not awake during the surgery but like they'd be like oh and I don't remember like a ton of that because my dad told me

at my fourth amputation, I think my third or fourth amputation that I lost my leg.

And he, I remember my reaction.

He was like, you, I have to tell you something.

And I could already tell like the room was so heavy, like emotionally, you could just feel it.

And he's like, I have to tell you something.

And I was like, okay.

And he was like, they had to take your leg.

But like, I promise you'll be able to run again.

You'll be able to walk again.

You'll be able to play soccer again.

Cause I love soccer.

I was big in it.

And

I was like, okay, okay.

And the first thing I asked was, well, did either of my friends lose their legs or limbs or anything substantial, like, permanently?

And he was like, no.

And I said, well, I'm glad I'm the one that did because it was my fault because I can't imagine.

Like, I even to this day, like, struggle with the guilt.

Like, it's something I just cannot shake, and I don't think I ever can.
