Having spent a few days with this man at Whips in WI, I can only attest to the "can do" attitude this gent has!
He straps on custom leather braces and goes like anyone else..pain or not! A true inspiration!
I wish the best to you Ken! You will be in prayer for this to be a complete success and that after next year, you can start to really enjoy increased mobility!
God bless, brother!
