Michelle, Primary Care Client

Michelle, a person with below shoulder-length red-brown hair and wearing a red long-sleeved shirt and a white vest jacket, poses inside Sherbourne Health with their hands together.

I’ve been on the streets here in Toronto for 10 years. I’ve been seeing Dr. Larisa Eibisch for over 10 years. In 2024, I lost my leg to flesh eating disease. I fractured my ankle, and it developed an infection, being on the streets. I was very sick. They had to cut my leg three times. I was in the ICU twice for each cut. I was in the hospital for four months, and I had no memory for the first two. And you gotta understand, I went in there with two legs at the hospital, and I woke up with just one leg. So it was very devastating to me. Now I’ve done the rehab and I have a prosthetic.

It’s been a journey to get to where I’m at now. But now, it’s a new beginning, a new start. I’ve been determined. I’ve been given a second chance. I’m on this earth for a reason, whether I have one leg or two legs. And Erin and Larisa, they’ve all been so warm and kind. Sure, I could find a doctor closer to me, and they’re trying to find me one, but I don’t want one. I just want to keep seeing Larisa. Just recently, Erin saw me for the first time walking. Same with Larisa. They’ve seen how far I’ve come.
