This breaks my heart; the loss of a limb is life-changing without a doubt. The fact that he kept his game-face on during that interview despite the pain he must have been in demonstrates how brave and dedicated an individual he is. I hope he finds relief soon and I hope the technology advances quickly to the point where he won’t miss his arm so much.
+1 for the mirror box; I’m sure he’s been recommended it already but I’ve heard great things.
If I ever suddenly lose a limb I hope I can be as optimistic about it as Mr. O’Brien.
