my father

has an artificial leg. He stepped on a landmine when he was in his 20's. He is now 54.
Over the years the technics have improved and he has had many legs all which are designed to help people like my father to live an normal life as possible.
I think it's a year now. My dad got a leg which he is/was very comfortable with and he could walk a couple of metres without hurting.

But a couple of weeks ago, his leg broke. He fell on the side walk and thankfully he did not get hurt.
But know he has his "reserve" leg. This one is no good at all. He is in constant pain and it hurts me to see the pain he is in.
He has to get a new leg, a new one that was as good as the old one.
But an aritifical leg is expensive.
My dad won't let me pay for it and the hospital doesn't want to pay for it either.

A dilemma and daddy dearest keeps hurting
