Oh no worries, @kapow! We all learn something new every day here in Connect! That’s why it’s great to ask questions and also impart wisdom we’ve garnered along the way with our own life journeys. ☺️

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad losing his legs from arteriosclerosis. How awful for him. Was this a slow progression with loss of circulation?

Only Six months between amputations. His feet were swollen more than twice or three times their normal size and an infection set in. Happened over about a year. He was in awful pain. He lived about 5 years after the double amputation in the DVA hospital. (His death was not related to the atherosclerosis. Instead it was prostate cancer that had metastasized and was in his bones.)
