To keep walking

Hi everyone, I'm J.T. .  I'm 45 years old. I've been dealing with repeated complications with my leg for years. I had 6 surgeries due to infections. January of 2023 I had my leg amputated from below the knee. To many this seemed like a drastic measure. To me it was what was needed for me to get my life back. Before the amputation I was constantly fighting these infections. They would almost always be accompanied by open sores. Because of this I was in a medical shoe, or eventually a gigantic leg brace that looked like something out of a Frankenstein movie. During this battle I developed Charcot, which caused my leg to drive down into my foot. The giant boot was to help, but it only proved a brief relief. I lost my ability to do most everything I loved. No more hunting, fishing, going on walks with my wife, or doing much of anything around the house. 10 out of 10 pain was my life.  I with the support of my family made the decision to get the amputation. Like I said this was not losing something to me, but rather a way to get my life back. I got my first prosthetic in May of last year. I fought and struggled to get back to walking. By fall of 2023 I was able to get around pretty well on flat surfaces. I was able to do some hunting for the first time in years. No matter the conditions I was all smiles. Being out in nature was so soothing. Recently my prosthetic started feeling different, so I went to see my prosthetic guy. He informed me it was time for a new leg socket. He explained that my old socket was too big, and if I didn't get a new one it could lead to getting sores and other problems. Even with insurance I'm left with a bill of $3200.00. I wish we could afford to just make a payment and move on. Unfortunately, we are still feeling the losses from a 2021 accident my wife was involved in. I didn't want to go this route, but honestly this might be about the only way I'll get my new leg socket. I really feel at a loss. To lose the gains I've made would be devastating. My goal has been to get it all back. Not being able to continue getting better, and doing more would really be a huge loss for me and my family. Thank you for taking time to read this. Thank you again if you find it in your heart to help me out.
