The night before my amputation surgery, the orthopedist stopped by. "Are you feeling OK about what we're going to do tomorrow?" he asked. "More than OK, I'm very happy," I replied. "Wow. I know you've struggled with recurrent foot infections, so I could understand if you said 'relieved,' but happy?" he asked. "Oh, yes. With five toes instead of ten, I can look forward to a 50% discount on all my future pedicures !!!"

Who else has a joke?

Don't know about a joke, but my chiropodist DOES charge me less. His rate is £40 for 'normal' patients, and I get my foot looked at/nails cut/etc. for £25... (about 65US$/40US$).

I like that I know I made some little jokes here and there about my foot and soon-to-be lack thereof on my right side. some have laughed, others looked at me like I was crazy and not taking the situation seriously. If I lose humor and joy, what purpose is there in going on? It's a must!!!!

A warped sense of humor is the best weapon in an amputee's arsenal! You're going to be just fine, Lindsay!

I work as a switchboard operator. One day, I was getting slammed at my desk. Phone calls, emergencies, visitiors, etc. It finally slowed down and a girl who works here asked me how I was doing. I pushed back from my desk, tapped on my prosthethic and told her I was busier than a one-legged-man in an ass kicking contest. The look on her face was priceless. I began laughing, and she said at least you can laugh about it.
