As my last operation didnt work I am going in in june for maniputalion, and if this doesnt work then I am looking at having amputation - and was just wondering what it would be like after. I am 43yrs, very active and before accident extremely sporty; so i also suffer from depression now due to the restrictness in my life now and obvioulsy the pain factor. &amp;nbsp; So after reading your story, it gives me faith .... &amp;nbsp;thank you and all the best. &amp;nbsp;XX &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Three years after leg amputation, Bow teen overcomes disability</title><link>http://cs.newhampshire.com/blogs/bow_editor/archive/2008/04/02/Three-years-after-leg-amputation_2C00_-Bow-teen-overcomes-disability.aspx#13245</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:32:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">7b375189-dcc7-4af7-b4d3-2fc751a0220e:13245</guid><dc:creator>Ajlouny</dc:creator><description>Hey, he is a brave and determined young man.  In a way, he is lucky that it was only a leg and not a form of paralysis.  His options at having a normal life were much greater and excitedly more promising.  </description></item></channel></rss>
