If it was not for my husband I would be dead,  but it was two days before I saw a doctor.  The pain was terrible, by the time I got to see a doctor there was no choice but to amputate. I can't stop thinking about my arm. But now I am worried sick about my six month old baby. My family have him with them in the provinces, but he has only ever had breast milk. He could be very hungry. As soon as I am able, I will go to him."
