I don’t know so much. A person can very much be broken. Fall from high enough or get hit by something big and fast enough and all king’s horses and all the king’s men ain’t putting you back together.

Limb like that are for the wealthy. The poor continue with low tech garbage. I’ve a friend who lost her leg. She was promised the moon and given garbage. She is on social assistance. The world of promise is for the wealthy.
