i am so so so sorry that your uncle is going through this. i went through this about 4 years ago. i lost my left leg due to diabetes.i was only 34 when i lost mine. i too cried but after i woke up and finally dealt with the loss i have been doing great. never had to face the possibility of losing my other leg. i know it is hard on him and he will need a lot of help and attention abut most of all you can do is show him that you love him the same. my nieces and nephews treat me the same. when i had to wait for 6 months to get an artificial leg they would sit in my lap in my wheelchair and i would do wheelie's and i would race them on their bikes and i was in my wheelchair. they were young enough that that is the only way they know me. now that i have my leg back thy think it is neat that i stand up and walk with them and even ride bikes. i hope and pray that your uncle will not loss the other but if he does just always be there with a big smile. it takes a little while to get use to the reality of losing a limb. he will go through depression so i would suggest that you ask his doctor for a anti depressant for a little while.if you want mare things that you can do to help him deal with this e mail me and i will tell you what others did for me. i will keep in in my prayers. may God bless him and keep him well.
