Full or partial body part amputations are due to a multitude of causes and require major life and psychological adjustments including strategies for coping with the loss of an integral part of one's body, but recovery is possible and I have seen excellent results over the longer term. Frankly, financial security and taking account of future ergonomic needs as well as supportive medical care gains much of the credit in my experience.

Too bad our military Men and Woman have no such resort for financial recompense when their injuries happen while defending our Society's Freedom.
