My name is sinead and i'm sixteen. i have PFFD on both of my legs but my left leg is longer. I was born to a diabetic mother. When i was born my mother didnt really know what decison to make. The doctors were trying to lean her into amputation. She opt. not to, she wanted me to make the decision when i was old enough. so for sixteen years, i've wore a lift. It's been very hard. with the lift, i can't wear normal clothes only long pants. by that, i've become self-conscience and developed low self- esteem. I wouldn't feel comfortable in large crowds or at school either.
