Extractions: Published by news-press.com on May 12, 2004 Fort Myers native Preston Towns has two artificial legs, yet it didnt keep him from getting a foot in the door at Krehling Industries. (Prison, disability didnt stop Towns from driving new road, June 15, 2003). Once Towns, 45, got into the concrete business, he stuck as a ready-mix truck driver. Despite his work ethic, many believed a marriage of prosthetics and truck driving was destined to end on the rocks. Truthfully, I didnt think hed make it, says Dave Bennett, Towns boss at Krehling. I figured hed have problems going up and down the ladder as much as we do. But hes been totally the opposite. Prestons been one of our top workers. Krehling hired Towns on April 24, 2003, after he became the first double amputee among more than 25,000 graduates of the National Truck Drivers School near Jacksonville. Preston hasnt missed a day of work and when they try to get him to take a day off, he talks them out of it, says Jerry Mount, national admissions counselor for the school. Towns, a 1978 Riverdale High grad, lost his legs to gangrene in prison in 1989 after he was convicted of drug trafficking in Tampa and St. Petersburg.

Extractions: (M-STAR) Michigan Society To Advance Rehabilitation is the only amputee peer counseling organization in Michigan.

We will go to the hospital upon request of the amputees family or on the request of a medical professional to do counseling.

Extractions: DETROIT FREE PRESS WASHINGTON Spec. Alex Leonard wakes up in excruciating pain. It feels like his toes are being smashed. "And my toes aren't there," he says. Down the hall, in another room in Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Spec. Adolfo Lopez-Santini has a broken rib, a mangled hand that was nearly amputated and a broken leg. Both eardrums were shattered when a crude roadside bomb exploded in Tikrit, Iraq. Bones in his face are cracked, and there are gaping holes in his hand and leg. He lost his left eye the force of the explosion blew it out of its socket and he can't focus with his right one. He sees only shadows. When he wakes eight days after the attack, he thinks he is a prisoner of war and tries to fight his captors, the Iraqi military. He touches a familiar face, round and soft. He can't see her. Can't hear her. But he knows her. It is his wife. In another room, Staff Sgt. Heath Calhoun sits on a hospital bed, wearing nothing but boxer shorts. He pulls the sheet back and is missing both legs. His upper thighs remain. They look like stumps, the right one still wrapped in bandages. Doctors have stretched the skin around the tip of each one, and closed it with stitches, the first step before getting prostheses. He's afraid of getting an infection. Afraid that he's going to lose another inch.
WXYZ: Health amputee Run When you were given a prosthetic heel and toe, it was out the door, there you go, amputee Clarence Boone, Jr. says. http://www.detnow.com/wxyz/health/article/0,2132,WXYZ_15919_2865719,00.html
Extractions: May 6, 2004 Whether it's from a car accident, diabetes or cancer, losing a leg is devastating. Now two men are helping amputees by inspiring them one step at a time. Dennis Oehler and Todd Schaffhauser ran their way to world records. Now, they're breaking barriers for people who never thought they'd run again. "I lost my leg in '84, in a car accident, three weeks before signing a contract to play professional soccer in New York," Dennis remembers. Cancer took Todd's leg above the knee when he was 15. "Physical therapists do a great job," he says, "unfortunately they don't get enough time to work with someone." "When you were given a prosthetic heel and toe, it was out the door, there you go," amputee Clarence Boone, Jr. says. Clarence, who lives in Holly, lost his leg 25 years ago, only now is he learning how to run. "My goal is to outrun my kids out on the track field," he says. "They think I'm joking, but it's going to happen."

Right, hard to imagine the guy sneeking about making a habit of it. "If you know nursing homes, things can happen," said Assistant Administrator Paul Parawan." I was about 14. I worked my first real summer job at a nursing home... cleaning snot and drool off the railing, etc. Using sandpaper... what a kick. Boy... did I see some shit.)
