Viola F. Burris
Hi! I don't really know where to start? I was born deformed in 1952 from what at the time was very rare (PFFD) it's where my one leg is normal and the other femur is up where my hip should be and bent into a v shape, the hip is like hip displasia and higher than normal. At 10 years old I had my foot amputated on the short leg. I was under weight until this took place. After that I'm not sure what happened except I know I didn't get enough exercise. My weight just seemed to shoot up after that untill I was over 200 lb.'s and with only one leg and 4'11 that isn't good at all.Now I have a vascular problem in my legs and If I don't lose a lot of weight doctors say I will lose my leg. I have now been told I'm to have gastric bypass surgery Oct. 25,2007 I need your prayers
