‘Education to Protect Tomorrow’ is this year’s world diabetes day theme.
Meet Yehuda who wanted to share his story in hope that ‘diabetes is taken seriously.’
20 years ago Yehuda was diagnose with diabetes and developed neuropathy. He expressed that due to his high demand job, he did not take his condition seriously and neglected his health.
End of 2017 a right foot ulcer developed, by February 2018 a decision was made to amputate his leg below the knee. That’s when he meet Emily from Bionics O & P whom he dubbed ‘a saint’. They were able to work together with his extended health care team to get him back to walking again.
Early this year while on vacation to visit family he developed an infection on his left foot. By the time he came back to the US in April, his left limb was also amputated below the knee.
He explained that he was not in a good place in his life after his second amputation but having a family that is like a rock to him made ‘life worth living’. Having his wife, daughter and beautiful granddaughter by him meant he strived to recover and get back to walking. He made the decision to not be reliant on a wheelchair.
Today Yehuda is looking forward to continuing his journey to recovery, he would like to increase his walking and is excited to welcome another grand baby to the family. Congratulations!
His message to new amputees is to take it step by step, don’t rush your recovery and don’t be afraid to use your walking aid to regain the confidence to walk again.
Thank you for sharing your story with us Yehuda
