Default Re: Life As An Amputee

The only thing I can say for sure, through a small amount of personal experience, Is that the surrounding area will be VERY tender for a while. Probably 6 months to a year, possibly longer. Though the proper doctor can minimize this by sewing old skin and tissue together. If to much new tissue and skin has form around the created wound it will be longer before the area is desensitized.

I've never lost more than the tips of a couple fingers though, it has been more than a year and it is still tender.
