Milton posted the leg press video on his Instagram account Wednesday night with a message that read, “Thanking God for the miracles I see everyday in my life. Went from almost losing my leg to leg pressing 40 lbs in a little over a month. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. God is definitely at work..it’s gonna be a long process but it’ll be one hell of a story.”
