An unlucky couple, Susan Mortimer and Robert Hackley, who have been
together for 11 years, were in the process of planning their big day
when a double dose of bad luck struck – they both lost a leg within days of each other.
It began when Robert, 57, accidentally stepped on a piece a glass which turned his right leg septic.
He
went into hospital for treatment in January but doctors told him he
needed to have an amputation as he had suffered with infections for
several years.
“We are trying not thinking about how bad it all is. Losing a leg was
really bad but expected for me – but Sue was sitting there thinking her
condition was getting better”, Robert told Mirror.
Despite their problems they still hope to get married next year.
