    while it sucks everyone has health issues. I'd do almost anything (legal) outside gay porn. To have 2 legs . The porn i'd have to think about. Depending how well the new leg worked. BUT I'm on top

    I've inquired about a leg transplant. Said since there's face, heart and other organ replacements, even penis enlargements, and removals for the trans crowd. .

    Why not a leg transplant? Was told too many nerve endings to reattach, getting replacement leg to mesh with current bone structure. Minor things. BUT the real issue is . IF a transplant was done. I'd have to be on anti-rejection meds for some time. Which for some reason, lowers your immunity to almost zero.

    Screw that.

    It's bad enough i'll be on some meds till further notice, for the heart.

    I hear you, Jim. I tell myself, at least I can get around well enough without a walker or a cane. I'm pissed that the first surgeon, a neurosurgeon, did such a poor job with my spinal nerves. I wish I had gone to the 2nd surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, first. I'd have a much more normal life.

    I have to appreciate that the nerves connected to the bottoms of my feet work and that I can still drive. I just have to be super careful walking on uneven surfaces. Once one of my feet rolls to one side or the other, it's rolling all the way and I'm going down (hence the broken ankles). Over the past several years I've taken several hard falls that fortunately haven't broken them again, but have banged me up pretty badly, particularly my right knee. The situation sucks, but I still have both of my legs. Much of the nerve feedback isn't there anymore, I have constant irritating nerve sensations (almost like a burning sensation), but I have enough feedback to know that they're there and that they're mine.

    my issue is severe fibrosis(scar tissues) on my joints after surgery.

    My orthopedic guy and few fellowship guy and residents said they have never seen this much in their lifetime.

    damn fibers.

    I do not think orthopedic guy will strongly discourage me to do a removal surgery but maybe I can convince him to do another MUA (manipulation under anesthesia).
