BILLINGS- â On Tuesday, April 27, Don Nafts, a U.S. Navy Vietnam War veteran, took his first steps in three years.
Shortly after being diagnosed with infections in both of his feet in 2018, both of Nafts legs had to be amputated just below the knee. These amputations were only two months apart.
âFor three years, I just wanted to walk. That was my main goal,â says Nafts, a Billings resident.
Nafts was able to take his first steps and hasnât stopped since. He does physical therapy at the Adaptive Performance Center on Broadwater Avenue in Billings five days a week for roughly one hour a day. He also meets with a separate physical therapist once a week for an hour.
