Recently we discussed the books Soul Surfer and The Running Dream. If I was in the situations of either of the main characters I think that I would want to try a prosthetic. In the Running Dream, the main character, a track runner, loses one of her legs in a bus accident. I would definitely want some sort of prosthetic because it is nearly impossible to do that sport without one. However, I would have to try out a prosthetic if I was in a situation similar to Bethany’s. I think that I might want one for surfing in terms of balance issues. Surfing requires a lot of balance and the loss of an arm would really through off my balance. I do understand why Bethany did not choose to wear one. In either case I know that the main thing that would help me get through such a demanding time would be my friends and family. I do not think that I would be able to get through such an incident alone.
