...imagine having one of your limbs removed to save your life, but without any form of #medicine to knock you out while it happens.

now imagine being a child and needing to have multiple limbs #amputated, in the same conditions of no #medical relief.

add to that image, in either instance, knowledge that every friend or family member who would have comforted and supported you have been killed by the same brute who caused your loss of limbs and medical torture.

...this is #gaza, every day.

A father carries his little daughter whose leg was #amputated as a result of #indiscriminate #Israeli #bombardment in #Gaza.

#December 14, 1843
#OTD John Claudius #Loudon, #Scottish #Botanist & #Writer died.

John's #LoveStory w/ his wife, Jane, started like this: After arranging to meet Henry Colburn, the man who wrote "The #Mummy," he discovered Jane was really Henry.

Later on, rheumatic fever ravaged his body. Surgeons found him in his #Garden the day they #Amputated his right arm.

John died dictating a book for young #Gardeners. Around midnight, he collapsed into Jane's arms. She completed the #Book on her own.

I have constant #phantom #pain with my upper-left #incisor tooth which was removed many months (maybe even years?) ago, where I always have the urge to tug and pull on it.

Does anyone else experience this with removed teeth? I know some #amputees experience this with #amputated limbs, or so I've heard.
