She's losing her foot to a bedsore. Disability advocates say it speaks to a larger problem
Sandra Langlois has no other choice but to get her left foot amputated on Monday. For a year, she's had a bedsore that just won't heal.
"It's very debilitating," said Langlois, who is paralyzed from the waist down.
She says she's come to terms with it, but it took time.
"There was a period when it wasn't going well at all. I couldn't even leave the house," said Langlois.
"You may want to do everything possible to heal a wound, but if it doesn't want to heal, it doesn't want to heal. At some point you have to face the fact that you have no choice but to lose the limb."
