    I wasn't expecting them to be pink! I don't know why I think that's the coolest part, but little things like getting to pick a colour I really think adds some needed degree of control back that has been taken from amputatees. She looks like a super hero!

    I lost my leg when I was 3. Growing up I was always the slowest runner in my class. There was only one time that I didn't finish a foot race dead last. I finished 2nd to last because, in 1st grade, as a girl passed me I pushed her down. I felt terrible about it, and I was sure I was going to be in big trouble as soon as she told on me, but she never did. I don't even remember her being mad at me, which only made me feel worse.
    I never did anything like that again, but I also never beat anyone else in a foot race again either.
    I did learn something, far to late to make any difference to that kid who used to be me, but maybe it will make a difference to you, Kind Reader: The one who finishes the race in last place, finishes the race. Don't ever forget that.
    Focus on what you can do. Don't worry about what you can't do. I can't run fast, but I can run far.

    How are these not publicly funded for every amputee who wants the option??? (Not sure what country this is if USA that explains it). ten thousand dollars is nothing in terms of medical devices or procedures. But a heck of a lot for one family particularly when she will need new ones cos she is still growing.
    But they will make a big difference for her

    • @jebuschrist3958
      @jebuschrist3958 5 років тому +3

      they are not funded because it is not critical. A person can live without hands and the NHS is publicly funded and as such provides a level of healthcare that is free for all to walk in a receive the same service throughout the UK but paying for every need of a person would be impossible. The NHS job is to keep you fit and alive. extras are a private matter.

    • @sneekz07
      @sneekz07 5 років тому +5

      Because it's no critical and it's not cheap. Many amputees who have their hand/arm missing actually prefer not to deal with the hassle of prosthetic. They find it a bit of a hindrance rather than a help.
