I wanted to give some recognition to the guy who basically singlehandedly inspired me to go through with this procedure: Earl Barnes. Here's his glamour shot (I hope he doesn't mind!)
Earl basically was in the same situation as myself. He lost his foot in an accident (his was a motorcycle, mine was a train) and lived with an amputation at the ankle for about 15 years. He finally decided that enough was enough, and went through with the Ertl BK. Obviously, he's a tremendous athlete now. But he's also a firefighter and rescue diver, so he routinely carries 80 pounds of equipment (or another human being.) So, this is all further testimony to the credibility of this procedure.
