I am an amputee

RAK amputee because of osteosarcoma since 1990.

Damn, I've just been Googling, if that's a word osteosarcoma, that must have been fairly terrifying, presumably there's no or little chance of a recurrence?

@Johnblackthorn if it's [i]legit[/i] and they survived 30 years already then yeah the chance of recurrence is very low

@SW-User "if it's legit"!?! But then I read your other replies aaannnd noticed the lack of response from the op.
Thanks for the heads up.

@Johnblackthorn it's very legit, osteosarcoma isn't made up

@cristorrado yes I get that, the legit thing came up because brops of pain raised the point that in the past someone trolled the site pretending to be an amputee, apparently it's a fetish, but nearly everything is.
However a few seconds looking in your profile pits that theory to a swift death.

My "if that's a word" was in reference to "Googling". not osteosarcoma, interestingly my tablet didn't know the word either, luckily it's not common but I imagine that's little consolation when you have it.
My entire experience of amputation is via other people thankfully and as a result of explosions, so they went through the sudden realisation that they need to adapt and it's not temporary, that's heartbreaking to watch, even in guys you hardly know.
