Boy, that is tough if one day I have to deal to that. Strangely though, I have thought about it when I was little. I guess I would look for people that are in the same situation and get inspiration from them.

i would probably drink a lot of tequila. then i would just figure out something i guess.

I'd learn to live with it. Go to physicial and occupational therapy and hopefully get a prosthetic leg.

What the hell kind of question is that, you eather deal with it or you don't. There is no HOW to deal you just do.

Obviously, it is a very painful and critical situation, where you are losing a vital organ of your body, that too, without it one can't survive in reality. But, under the cirucumstances, I think we must learn to live adjusting without leg, taking help from friends, relatives and near and dear people for useful guidances will improve. Ultimately, with everybody's help and determined will power will help you to definitely cope up and overcome the situation effectively. There's no point in grieving or leading ourselves to depressed state of mind. There's a saying whatever happens it is for our own good. There are many in this world who don't have both legs, hands, eyes etc. etc. Hats off to those who live in this world with guts and remaining inspiration to others. Go ahead and live your life happily, nobody in this world is without handicaps. We all are handicapped with one thing or the other. Never mind, God is Great. I think this is how I will deal.

Well you see this might sound stupid but i would look for help form mi familia cause even though some ppl think they have something to prov i honestly think that i would consult my fmily and look for help from them because they are the closest to me and know me so would be the best jusdge of it . and if i had no family or firends i would look to ppl in the olympics and get inspiration . i mean if they were able to compete and become great why the hell cant i just lie my stupid life!! Call me a optimist but iu would look at all options and try and not let it get in my way and i would look for medical help and most impotantly i would find someone like me a try to help them and aslo ending helping my self cause sometimes we realize our mistakes from the same mistakes that others make ! i know i'm weird but heck i'm me ^_^ hope that helped though!!

Buy an eyepatch and say "arg" alot.

Waller in self-pity.

It depends on how much of each leg was amputated.above the knee, but with some to wiggle.i think id be thankful that i could still close my legs, and id get a boob job.

wow? this is a tough one. i know it will be hard to do so many things. the fact that i have to depend on people for certain things would get me upset. why are you asking this type of question? did they do this to you?

I would run a LOT less!

i have dealt with it all my life and trust me its not easy

i work at a hospital and a lot of guys have amputed legs sometimes both but everything happens for a reason and you will just have to look to better times

It would not be easy until we are in a situation we really do not know how we would handle it.
Today they can make a leg for you so you would still be mobile I know it is not the same as having your own leg .
Also knowing that I still have my mind in tact I am not immobelised in my brain I can still make choices and learn.
I can hear the sounds around me like the song of a bird the sound of the wind and the rain the sounds of life along with my favourite music a member of my family saying that they love me.
And I have my sight to still see the worlds God given beauty, watch a movie or read a good book.

You would have to get use to it & you do!
Good friend of mine had both his legs amputated [in his 40's] & he is unbelievable!
He drives everywhere, he excercises, & he has recently learned to walk without his cane.

I can write about him for hours but I don't have the time right now.

By the way. The same year he started loosing body parts [beginning w/toes] he lost his mother, gradually lost both his legs, had a heart attack, open heart surgery & so many other things.
So I guess you would survive with your leg or legs amputated.

I hope everything is okay with you, your family & friends!

GET AROUND ON MY KNEES I GUESS

Not really sure, i would just try to imagine people with no legs and pray that i have one atleast.Try to live life better.Tough question

well,i lost my leg up to my hip i woke up out of a comma and was told it was gone.my right leg is still weak so i still have to sit in a wheelchair for 2 yrs. i hated everybody and wanted to die.my wife never gave up on me so i figured i would just learn to deal with it and make the most of what i have.

It is devastating to fall into such a situation, but if you wake up one day in that situation, first thank God that you are alive. If you can visit the casualty wards in hospitals, you may learn that God loves you. Check around for those who may wish that they should atleast have one leg, one arm, an eye, or something that is good with you. Man, life goes on what ever the challenges. People face such challenges and allow situations to kill there dream other than see what they can do about it.

Well, first I would thank God that I had "2" legs to begin with. Losing a limb, whether accidentally or through amputation can't be very comforting for the person who is losing the limb. Psych support is very important. But whatever you do, don't feel "sorry" for yourself. That will only hinder you from doing what you can do for yourself. Amputation doesn't mean being "handicapped". We are only as handicapped as we ALLOW ourselves to be. I've seen people with multiple limb loss that gets about better than people with all healthy limbs. Just shows what determination can do. I'm not saying it will be easy in the beginning, but the end results could surprise even you. Hang in there. Don't be afraid to ask for help and then ask for help ONLY WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED IT. You will find that life is NOT over and that you have everything to live for. Independence is important. Don't make YOURSELF HANDICAPPED!
