Introducing...  Alan Macias

Location:    I live in San Francisco with my wife, Marilyn, and two dogs. 
Date of Amputation/Cause:    December 17, 1997.  A motorcycle mishap and then eight months in the hospital and about fifty operations to put me back together again.  My left leg was crushed; it was saved, it works so so, I am still too young/active for a total knee replacement so that will have to wait.   My left arm had major nerve damage from being over extended, they saved it but it did not work at all and was always in the way, so a year after my final operation I decided to have my left arm amputated, I decided to leave enough arm/stump so I could wear a short sleeve shirt.
Prosthesis:   After growing up with the Bionic Man, Star Trek and Star Wars I am not very excited by the state of the art when it comes to prosthetic devices. I so far just do most everything one handed or with a little help from my friends.
Amp Events Attended: I belong to a local amputee club called Stumps R Us here in the San Francisco bay area
Other Information:  I work servicing, repairing and installing Special Hazard Fire Systems, these are fire detection systems that monitor specialized areas and put out the fire with gasses or foams depending on what is burning.
