Scots pensioner's ‘terrible homecoming’ after legs amputated as family left in despair

A Scots pensioner adjusting to life after having both his legs amputated has been left virtually housebound since leaving hospital.

Kenny Fisken, 76, was discharged from Perth Royal Infirmary after recovering from his latest operation. But his family claim they were not provided with a ramp to get his wheelchair into the house and a care package was not in place.

Unfortunately with his second amputation, the rented council home at Cluny Terrace in Letham he has shared with his wife Dawn and their 20 year-old disabled daughter has now been deemed unsuitable for his needs and the family has been told by Perth and Kinross Council they must move to other accommodation. Dawn (52) explained that Kenny lost one leg last year due to complications surrounding a kidney condition.
