A bloke who suffered life-changing injuries during a horror forklift accident has been given new hope of prosthetic limbs.<\/p>\n
Loren Schauers, from Great Falls, Montana in the United States, had his lower body crushed when a forklift fell 50ft. His forearm was also severed during the accident on September 27, 2019. The young man has documented his recovery with the help of his wife, Sabia Schauers-Reiche. In their latest update, the pair revealed Loren may be getting prosthetic limbs.<\/p>\n
Last week (September 17) the couple revealed Loren\u2019s severed forearm would be replaced with a prosthetic device by Atom Limbs. Their website claims they've made the first artificial human arm, capable of the near-full range of motion, restoring a basic sense of touch, and be mind controlled. But it won\u2019t be available until 2024.<\/p>\n

During the footage, Loren jokes that he will look \u201cpretty cool\u201d next year with his prosthetic limbs while dressed as the Black Knight from Monty Python when they attend a Renaissance Fair.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking in the video Loren revealed that they had issues with their footage for the clip, but recalled the missed moments. Including one incident where they ran into a native woman who "was very nice" and gave them "100 bucks and some native blankets" while staying at the Red Lodge at the Renaissance Fair.<\/p>\n
Speaking in the video, he said: "We were in Red Lodge at the Renaissance Fair they asked if I would be willing to come down next year early to um take part in their script that they have during the Renaissance Fair and they want to do a piece of the Black Knight for Monty Python and they want me to act is the Black Knight. We think that'll be pretty cool with prosthetic limbs velcroed on."<\/p>\n

He goes on to explain his \u201cnub\u201d where his forearm was severed is currently swollen and \u201ccrazy looking\u201d as he rolled on it and injured it. He went on to describe it as a \u201cbowling ball pin\u201d. Last month the 21-year-old posed by the machine that caused his injury and questioned what he can now go on to do.

Writing on an Instagram Story yesterday (July 26), Loren said: \u201cDrink water like no other in life. Yet I\u2019m still needing to be put into the ER (emergency room) for a kidney infection and my body passing a kidney stone.<\/p>\n
