Without using teh googles myself, I would say search for a support group for amputees and see if you could find someone who was in a similar situation to yourself, and ask if they regret getting the limb removed. At least you would be dealing apples to apples , instead of MMOC theorycrafters, myself included.
Well I'd keep my leg.
Got it amputated last Wednesday. I flipped a quarter. I don't regret it yet.

Phantom sensations are a real thing though, fucking crazy.
I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.
Do you happen to talk to anyone who had an amputation before by chance?
I'm ex-military, ex-PSC I've talked to a lot about amputations.

Edit
just read the dates and now 2nd page. My advise was to get the amputation if you are a very active person and also do sports. But i also wrote that you should speak with persons who already had an amputation to get more inside.
As read now you chose that.
I hope all gets well - you will have a hard time now at first, but with todays prosthetics i think you will be good as an active person. A friend of mine also just have one leg and is doing half marathons with it

Thank you for your service.
If I were you... since you're super active. I'd see if you can get a well made fake that'll allow you to do the things you enjoy doing. I don't think you'd enjoy life as much if you were hindered by needing assistance just to walk around.
Also... I'm from Texas, too. A gun in the fake would be highly likely :P
I would rather get a fake leg and live my life as normal. Being bound in a wheel chair or using some sort of aid for most of my life sounds like a life I do not want to live. Take my leg, let me learn to walk on a prosthetic leg and let me be on my way. I know people that ride motorcycles with prosthetic legs as well btw
Oh I forgot about this. OP how much of your leg did they take?

It's going to be a fairly basic, active lifestyle type of prosthetic No blade or motorized leg, I salt water fish and am accident prone. My biggest choice will be which fairingsI want.

Well, I like the Trooper White Black the best, but it appears to only be for kids. Failing that, for the below knee, I like: http://www.unyq.com/collections/gala...y-black-silver
