I'm not complaining... My prosthetics are free and are worth more than 200k, all said and done.

So what's the prosthetic thing look like? Is it the standard three-clawed thing?

I'm not really familiar with them at all but I know theres some real hi-tech prosthetics. Some of them I've seen really blow my mind. A few of the ones I've seen actually enhance the ability you have vs. your natural limbs.

I think that's true of some prosthetic legs, but we're not quite there with arms. Finger movements can be pretty complex.

Yeah theres that prosthetic leg that mimics a kangaroo kind of...you can jump to unreal heights, walk, and run @ way higher speeds vs. a natural limb.

You should talk to pokesmot he seems to know quite a bit about prosthetics.
If you don't mind me asking what exactly happened?

It happened in Iraq. I don't want to publicly post the details until my separation from the mil. is complete. You can PM me and I'll give you a little more detail.
