Before I came to Scott Sabolich Prosthetic & Research, I was in a state of serious despair. I have a short residual limb, small bones, and an extremely sensitive nerve area, all of which have combined to make my case somewhat difficult. I had spent a year and a half trying to get a prosthesis that didn't cause me pain. I was reaching the limit of my frustration and could tell my family was suffering with the situation also. I had been praying for the Lord to show me what to do. My husband had a friend in his Bible study group who was involved in a pediatric prosthetic business. He called Scott Sabolich Prosthetic & Research in Oklahoma, talked with them about my situation, and asked them to call me about setting an appointment.
My husband and I traveled to Oklahoma City from St. Louis, and on the very first day we were there, they took a cast of my leg. By the next day, they had a trial socket for me, and within a week, we headed home for a trial weekend with my new prosthesis. It was the first time I had walked normally since the amputation.
The expertise, devotion and sensitivity of the team at Scott Sabolich have given us a chance for a normal life. We feel like our prayers led us to them and we are eternally grateful. This experience has helped us to help other people with their problems.
