And my mother and my father, they had a quick conversation with each other, which lasted 15 seconds, because they both know me very well. And they looked back at the doc, and they were like, no, save as much as you can. That's what he would want. And that's what he did.

Yeah, that's a great question, man. I live... I live in the world of what's possible. Impossible to me is a very difficult word for me to accept to be true. I'm not sure if I do accept it to be true. But I could say that a hip disarticulation is a massive difference than being an above the knee amputee, as is a massive difference than being a below the knee amputee.

When you lose a limb, it's really not so much the loss of the limb as it is the loss of the joint. That is what we have yet to be able to recreate anywhere close to that of what mother nature gives us. We can recreate tibias and femurs where you would really never know the difference. The joints compound the challenges tremendously from below the knee to an above to a hip.

Yeah. The decision for me was made actually before the road to recovery even started. It happened when I was still in the intensive care unit was when the decision was made. And it was... A wild scenario where I barely knew what was real, what was not. But that was the thing that I could see crystal clear. It was right there. This is what you're going to do.
