Honestly,, I wish people would realize that y'all have problems with muscles and such NOT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE FEELINGS OR A BRAIN THAT WORKS. I wish doctors and nurses would see you the same as everyone else and realize that just because you may be confined to a wheelchair and don't walk at all,,it doesn't make it any easier to amputate the leg's
