According to the Daily Star on May 24, in September 2019, Loren Schauers, a 20-year-old construction worker, fell from a height of 50 feet (about 15 meters) while working on a bridge, was crushed by a forklift, and his right forearm was severed and his lower body crushed.
Subsequently, the young man from Great Falls, Montana, USA, bravely decided to allow doctors to perform a hemixectomy to amputate everything from the waist down to save lives.
Despite the surgery, more than a month later, doctors still thought Roland would die.
However, things have unexpectedly turned to the upside.
Roland, who has adapted well to his new life under the care of his wife, Sabia Reiche, has opened a YouTube account to share these experiences, attracting 477,000 followers.
Because of Roland's mobility problems, Sabbia did a lot of daily work for him, including changing his colostomy pockets and bathing him. She was always by his side and accompanied him through all his health problems.
They have been very open about the uncertainty of Roland's life expectancy.
On the YouTube channel, Sabia admitted that this was "very likely" due to the severity of Roland's surgery.
"It's very likely, it's not yet certain," she said. The average lifespan is about 11 years, with the record holder being 24 years. But they were all in a different situation than Roland's. ”
Friends in the community have donated 67,000 pounds (about 560,000 yuan) to him to build a new bionic arm. He is still practicing and adapting.
Netizens:
It's really worthy of respect.
It's terrible to happen.
If it were me, I'd rather die. Roland also impressed me. Women leave men for far fewer reasons.
It's worth following the couple on social media. They're lucky, they have each other, it's magical.
These people deserve media coverage, not the empty plastic fools that newspapers usually advertise.
Poor boy, what a terrible thing that happened.
Make a fool of yourself! I feel sorry for him – actually for both of them.
Very brave couple and best wishes for their future.
The only thing I was thinking about was how brave and extraordinary you were and truly loved. You have a soul mate that you don't need to explain to anyone.
You and your wife are both superheroes and I'm glad you're alive and have your beautiful wife who proves that unquestionably true love is true and that true love can overcome everything.
I'm happy to see your smile!!
Honestly, I'd rather die than live like this. It's horrible. Still, I want to pay tribute to him.
Anyway, it was fantastic to hear that this young man was enjoying life despite being badly injured. All life is precious and his wife and family deserve our respect because of their support, giving him the opportunity to live happily and make the most of his time in this world. Excellent!
How does he go to the toilet?
Maybe the person with a strong heart doesn't need sympathy, he will just continue to see the beauty of life.
