A lot can happen in a week

Josh Hanlon is a Australian Paralympic alpine skier. I don’t think he’s won any medals but that’s okay. He competes in ‘sitting slalom’ and ‘sitting giant slalom’. As a young(er) man, he seemed destined for a career in Australian Rules Football. When he was 20, a severe bacterial infection caused toxic shock and sepsis. He became sick on a Friday and was in a coma by Tuesday. Both lower legs were amputated and he lost his right hand. Can you imagine being fit and healthy one day and waking a week or two later to find yourself with bits missing? The photo is mine taken in France.
