Dennis is in bed one, in our room 525 on the 5th floor of the Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital on the Health Science Centre campus. His amputation is the result of “a toe infection that went crazy,” a complication of diabetes. He lives in the Birds Hill community on a small acreage with his wife of 41 years. His work in the trades, with a specialization in dry wall taping, his primary  income as they raised three children. He is the most recent arrival in our room.
