22. my mom got the frost bite on her leg and toes as a child walking through the German

countryside...it was when she was pregnant with me that because of the frost bite, the hormones in her body, caused the leg to become gangrene and she had to have it amputated. She lived with leg trouble for 11 some years before her pregnancy and then when she got pregnant with me it came to a crisis point.
