5 years on from this documentary, we asked you to comment with questions for Alex to answer! Here are his responses: https://youtu.be/4-O7EuZb224
He can get drunk and truly say he feels legless
I am overwhelmed with admiration for this woman who stuck by his side through his total physical decimation. Such a contrast to what we typically see today.
Weirdly he looks like michael J Fox. Celebrities pay a lot to get lips like that with a boob job he could resurrect bay watch!!
HOW DOES A COLD EVEN DO THAT
And what are my chances of that happening to me
God bless this family, and give them everything they can imagine
The heartbreak & despair on his face, when his son turned away in fear. My God, that struck me to the core. 🥹
Its 5 more years. How is this amazing man and family going now ? ❤❤
That poor guy!!!……WTF did those BUTCHERS do to his face/'lips'??? They don't have actual 'plastic surgeons' in the UK??
Wow Alex you are a very strong man. A great father… how can I make a donation… it will not be large, but I want to donate?
When people ask how I was able to adapt so easily to losing two legs above the knees, I have always said, “Because others have been through worse and still wake up everyday doing their best.”
I cried watching this. It’s not pity because I don’t like anyone feeling pity for me. I just admire this man and his incredible wife. How often do you see this and see the partner stay? Not often at all 😔
When my daughter saw me for the first time without either of my legs, She was absolutely terrified she was 12 at the time. She has experienced bullying and all sorts of things due to me being wheelchair-bound and being a amputee. This is in so but I feel absolutely blessed and honored to know that even a world filled with so many mean and angry people that I still find a way to every day to be a mother in my child every day, to be content with being a single mom, and so many other things that I’m absolutely proud of no one or nothing will be able to take that away from me in this life.
So sorry for this long comment, but I felt every bit of this story. So motivating to see him still pushing forward and his wife being such a good and humble woman.
Their son is going to brag about dad someday because my daughter definitely does almost 5 years after losing my legs. I’m her hero 🦸🏻♀️ She is mine!!!!
His face looks almost normal today 🙂
Los incas eran enanitos
Malgré cette vie ta une vrai femme qui t'aime un bon garçon qui t'aime.il faut avoir du courage.
I'm so sorry that this family has endured such terrible suffering and what's even more unfortunate is that much of these consequences could have been avoided. Proper daily supplementation with at least 1,000 mg high quality vitamin C, zinc and vitamin D3, along with topical and internal ingestion if pharmaceutical grade pure Manuka honey has been clinically proven to prevent and treat these kinds of infections and save patients from these devastating surgeries. It's a real tragedy that too. Mm
The wife seems to be a bit mean, she cracking too many jokes fr
What a courage.. and love.for his family..
It’s so scary to think of what would’ve happened to this amazing family if they lived in the US… the sheer amount of medical debt and probably lack of access to have a round the clock carer for him while his partner went back to work… I feel as though it may have had a very different outcome. I am so happy for them that they have the benefit of living in a country with socialized medicine! I suffer from conditions that are only a fraction as disabling as this man, and I feel like I’m drowning and unable to get ahead in life, even with pretty significant privilege and very good health insurance…
Many sad things have been happening to many people's in this life and put many of them in despair 😢, I wish that things like this didn't happen😢 ,not that praying to God will change it but we still have to pray 😔
No lip fillers required
Thank you for sharing your amazing story. May you continue to heal and experience many wonderful things with your family.
Did he get put on the scream extractor?

😭😭😭
That is heartbreaking! But he is really trying hard. Having to be optimistic. Prayers!
Why are his lips balooned up?
