A bloke who was chopped in half in a dreadful forklift truck accident is back in hospital with a bowel infection as his road to recovery continues to be a rocky one.<\/p>\n
Loren Schauers, from Montana in the United States, had his lower body crushed when the forklift truck he was driving fell 50ft off a bridge.<\/p>\n
The entire bottom half of his body was amputated after the horrific incident in September 2019, and he also lost his forearm.<\/p>\n

But inspirational Loren, who\u2019s from Great Falls, has built up an online following as he\u2019s documented his recovery from his injuries with the help of his wife Sabia Schauers-Reiche.<\/p>\n
In his latest Instagram post, Loren wrote: \u201cHey guys, been awhile since I\u2019ve posted anywhere except the Facebook group, we\u2019re alive!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in the hospital with c-diff cause of the antibiotics I was taking due to a kidney infection.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSo not a great month but still good cause theirs air still flowing through our lungs and our wits are still about us. We appreciate you guys!\u201d<\/p>\n
C. diff (or Clostridium difficile) is a bacteria that can give you the runs. According to the NHS\u2019s website, it often affects people who have been taking antibiotics.<\/p>\n
As well as diarrhoea, symptoms can include a high temperature, loss of appetite, feeling sick and a stomach ache. But it\u2019s usually easily treated with other antibiotics.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In another update the pair gave a few months ago, they revealed that Loren might be getting a prosthetic forearm.<\/p>\n
The state-of-the-art gadget would be made by Atom Limbs, which claims it has made the first artificial human arm that is capable of the near-full range of motion and restores a basic sense of touch \u2013 and is controlled by the mind.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hoped the new forearm will be available next year.<\/p>\n
