Cancer survivor takes amputated leg everywhere she goes

Would
you keep your amputated limb and carry it with you on your travel adventures?
This cancer survivor does just that!
Cancer survivor Kristi Loyall is making news around the world for keeping her amputated leg, and taking it just about everywhere she goes.
The American woman had to have her leg amputated following her diagnosis, and instead of feeling down about it, she decided to see the lighter side of her ordeal.
She now takes the skeleton of her leg – which was amputated below the knee – on trips to the beach, and the golf course.
Kristi even set up an Instagram account, One Foot Wander, to document her adventures.
The 25-year-old was forced to amputate her leg, which she now calls Footzilla, in April 2016 after she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called epitheliod sarcoma.
After the surgery, she sent her skeleton to have it whitened, degreased, and pinned together.
Kristi hopes her Instagram account will help people see the lighter side of life, despite their struggles.
