cit. || Only a fellow amputee can convince the new amputee that feeling discouraged is natural, but that limb differences do not define the person.
Though the limb-deficient person might have to learn to do things differently, he or she is still the same person. The veteran amputee can show by his or her presence that there is life and opportu-nity after recovery.
