    such as broken or even lost limbs

    When I broke my ankle, I thoroughly shattered it then tried to set it myself and stand - twice - before realizing it was broken. Point being, it was in bad shape. After realizing what had happened, I called my wife who came out to help me while waiting for the EMT’s.

    I remember her at one point, in a very comforting manner, saying “It’s hard to believe you can even recover from this kind of injury.”

    (To be fair, I guess she was the best kind of correct. It still plagues me to this day.)
