BringBackFergy Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Leg - they make some really nice mechanical legs now and I hate running/jogging (so no biggie). But if I lost my arm, that would include my hand...and I can do a lot of things that I enjoy with my hand (right one especially) that I can't do with a foot.
Beerball Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I would rather lose Gugny's leg. I really don't thin I'd miss it at all.
mead107 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Do not use my middle leg any more. So I would give that up first.
The Poojer Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I use mine...key word being "I" Do not use my middle leg any more. So I would give that up first. Edited January 29, 2015 by The Poojer
BringBackFergy Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I use mine...key word being "I" See above re. My right hand.
Chef Jim Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 See above re. My right hand. For me it's my left. I use my right for the mouse.

Well, what if we cut off your hand or your foot first and re-attached it to the mechanical replacement for your arm or your leg? The question was really about losing an arm or a leg, not about losing a hand or a foot. I don't know what other recreational activities are important to you, so which would it be? Arm or leg?

thebandit27 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Left arm, no question. I'm right handed, and would prefer not to have to re-learn how to walk. Plus, the latest technology has advanced bio-mechanical limbs so significantly that prosthesis isn't nearly the horror that it used to be...not saying I'd volunteer for it or anything, but seeing what's been done for some of our soldiers that have lost limbs in the middle east is astonishing.
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 you answer the question...arm or leg? Fair enough - - arm. I've seen Jim Abbott pitch, and I watched the season of The Amazing Race where the woman surfer who lost an arm to a shark attack more than held her own against able-bodied competitors. Although my injuries weren't severe, I once had a leg in a cast for a few weeks, and on a different occasion had an arm in a sling for a few days. The leg problem had a much bigger impact on my daily activities. So for me - - arm.
DC Tom Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I'd have to check my disability policy, but I think a leg pays more. So...leg.
boyst Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 gonna go with leg on this one. much easier to get an artificial leg then arm, and arms are used more then legs....
Gugny Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Left arm. It would fall off. And I would become the drummer of my new band, Deaf Leper.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Leg. Prosthetic legs are creepy, but I think a prosthetic arm would be even creepier. I'm working off the "what would scare children most" scale of creepiness. Then again, if it were my arm I could be Roy Munson every year for Halloween.
