Just wondering if anyone here has an arm amputation.I lost my right arm 20 years ago.Interesting how ppl react to it.Lol often said last few years been interesting kept a journal on such a thing.

Hi,
Not an arm but I know a couple of guys who've had legs amputated ,
Even knowing them it takes a while to not look and try doing something for, maybe as you found, it's the most annoying thing for you?
Good luck

Don't know anyone with an amputation.

But for a female take on it I would rather
see a limb amputation than a heart missing.

I concur...

It's very sad..

Thank you soufie! I hope there are more people who feel the way that you do.

When I was twenty years old, back in the covered wagon days, I nearly lost my right leg above the knee do to an accident. After several surgeries and nearly two years of physical therapy, I was able to walk again and keep my leg but I do have extensive nerve damage.

In Wisconsin (USA) we have many Military Veterans so it's not unusual to see an amputee or someone with a prosthetic limb or limbs. I think it's just natural to want to assist a person (amputee)with a door or service and is in no way meant to offend anyone missing a limb. Mostly we just try to treat everyone the same.

We also have wheelchair basketball teams in Wisconsin for persons with disabilities or those who just want to give it a go.
