homas Maggio can now walk without a cane, for a short time, as he learns to use his prosthetic leg. He has significant pain which dictates how long and how often he can work and wear the leg. He looks forward to when the pain becomes minimal. He says, “I hope the community understands I am working as hard as I can. John, my new service manager is really helping out. He is retired U.S. Army, and everyone says he is great to work with.
We have a solid team here at Hands On Auto Tech, with two techs and my service manager, so I am able to step away and get that time I need to heal.” His kids are very comfortable with the loss of his leg and the new life style. “Sometimes they will pick on me, or play with my wheel chair,” he says. “But they help me when I need it. Laura remains strong and says she sees a positive change in me after the accident and she likes that.”
