Re: Downtown : Trenton Boy slips under freight train loses leg. --- Beneath New Jersey Turnpike over

I have a very, very close relationship with Anthony. Comment No. 22 is exactly what happened. We thank God that he was able to reach his brother Michael, had he not we wouldn't have him today. To those of you who are interested, he is doing very well and will be discharged from rehab Friday, May 15th, just 9 days after the accident thanks to his great progress. To those of you who have a heart of steel, may God 'bless' you 1,000 times with the mean-spirited comments you have about Anthony and his accident and hope nothing similar to this happens to you or someone close to you. He comes from a very well-knit family and is, believe it or not, a good boy. He's studious, disciplined, well-behaved and a good son, brother, grandson. Despite this tragedy he is in good spirits and is looking forward to attending his graduation which he says, "I will go even if I have to roll down the aisle." He is, and will be, an example of a successful individual who will not allow this mishap to get in the way of living a full and happy life. Already Hanger, the company making his protethics -- yes, he will be getting more than one for different activities -- has asked him to be spokesperson for the company. So there!! He's already doing more than any of us with two legs have done. He will continue, I assure you, to grow and mature into a young man reaching all his goals especially that of becoming a chiropractor which was his career choice before the accident. As he told his father right out of recovery with morphine being administered, "Now I'm really going to hit those books." No one on this forum, I suspect, has a missing limb. Only he knows & we his close relatives know the pain he is going through because the condition doesn't stop at amputation. He now has to deal with cramps and what are called "phantom pains" until his body assimilates and adjusts to the loss. So, for those who have any doubts and who have misconceptions about why he was in the train yard, refer to comment No. 22 and add my comment to it. I'd say 90 percent of us have good hearts. It's a shame that the other 10 percent don't even come close to the affection a dog, cat or other domestic pets gives. No one is immune from an accident, that's why it's called an accident. It could happen to anyone from any walk of life, including ourselves.
