His woman is amazing.

They met over a mobile dating app and she fell in love with his personality, despite having no arms or legs.

Then he wanted to have a dead man’s donor arms transplanted onto him (I can understand why someone would want real arms again, to feel, sensation, but donor arms??! Taking anti-rejection and immune-represent drugs for the rest of your life so your body doesn’t reject the arms?!).

Imagine being touched by another persons arms and fingers.. who is dead? Frankenstein’d onto another person? She was against it and still sat by his side, afraid the whole 16 hour surgery and getting updates every two hours, not sleeping.

Next chapter, he comes home, and the nerves and muscles have to heal. He literally has to call her each time he needs his ass wiped, or his teeth brushed for a year (when that wasn’t a problem before when he met her with the prosthetics rather than the arm transplants). You truly have to love someone to care for them like that.

She’s also pretty and seems to have an awesome personality to top it all off, he’s a lucky guy (in some ways, with all due respect)! I just can’t for the life of me understand why he didn’t opt for robotic arm and leg transplants when they’re really starting to become something and have been for the last few years; he wouldn’t have risked the pain, death from surgery, or put his significant other through what he did (although she was fine with it - and he felt terrible about it).

And to me, most important of all, they’re not some dead dudes donor arms, I don’t have to take 6 pills every morning that affect my renal system and other organs, or suppress my immune system - I just have brand new robotic arms, customized for me, I don’t feel but each finger works and I can apply varying degree of pressure - so much less creepy, so much more viable. I just don’t see the allure to the path he’s chosen outside of regaining some sensation again, possibly.

Odd medical path overall to recovering himself, nothing but respect for his powerful mindset and courage.
