Andrew West is from Gig Harbor Washington. In 2007 Andrew was in a serious car accident that almost took his life. After being in the hospital for a month he was released to go home after being told that he may never walk again. Andrew however, had different plans for himself. After a few months of physical therapy he ditched the wheelchair and started walking.
Recently he found out that, because of the accident that he was in, his bones had not completely healed in his left leg which started to cause deterioration. The doctors said that the only way he would be able to walk comfortably again was to have his leg amputated. After months of contemplation, Andrew decided that amputation was the best option for him at this time in his life, hoping that in the future he will be able to easily walk, run and do the things he was unable to do before.
On March 4th 2013 Andrew had his official amputation surgery. This blog was created to keep everyone easily updated through Andrew's recovery.
