Lee: Traumatic Injury Amputation Rehabilitation

After many years suffering from diabetes, Lee had to have his right leg amputated.

When his daughter started planning her wedding, Lee wanted to be able to walk her down the aisle. He began therapy at the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute where he worked hard to learn how to use his prosthetic leg.

With his bright spirit, strong will, and determination to reach his goal, along with the support and care of his therapists, Lee was there to escort his daughter to the altar on her wedding day.
