I don't know about you other amputees,but ever since I was amputated I've been able to spot an amputee a mile away.It's kind of like when you buy a new car and you end up seeing that same car everywhere you go.I feel like I have some type of super power ( LOL ).I really didn't know it was that many amputees walking around on a everyday basis,which is not bad,just lets me know I'm not the only one.... read more..
