Highlights:
- A night out at a rock concert changed everything for Tommy Hurrell, who made a life-altering decision after years of health struggles.
- The 20-year-old was attending a Supergrass concert with his father when he decided to amputate his leg.
- Post-surgery, Hurrell shared his journey of adjusting to life as an amputee and to “redefine his disability” on social media.
He had spina bifida. His foot was super fucked up. He had surgeries and every time, his foot came out worse. After unbearable pain while standing at a concert for hours on end, he simply couldn’t stand anymore due to the pain. He thought about it and some of his friends even asked why he didn’t just cut it off so he said, “fuck it.” and did to relieve the pain. It worked.
(none of this is a quote, I’m paraphrasing)
Thanks,
from the title i thought he did it just out of nothing, without an illness.
Welcome to the Internet!
I might actually read the news if it were more like this.
