I had an uncle who has lost his arm in a farm accident. Also, I noticed when things were broken, they were thrown away.Sooo, when i fell and broke my arm (age 8), I was sure they were going to cut it off and throw it away. I was scared to death until I left the hospital with my arm in a cast and still attached to the rest of me!
