Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I should just start wearing my old ballet shoes on the way to the bar - super comfy and roll up tight!

It was a battle for my SIL to get new legs with her insurance company. They would have rather kept her on disability because her old ones were wearing down and left huge sores on her upper leg where they connected. And with her type of amputation, I'm not sure she can wear the type Aimee is wearing in the picture above. It shouldn't be so hard for amputees to have access to new arms or legs that fit, don't create bed sores or lesions, and are individual to the person.
Edited to add: For my SIL its important that its unnoticable. She does not like to be defined as the "girl with the fake legs". She is more than that.

"Tiger Woods has had laser eye surgery twice. This gave him 20/15 vision - even better than "perfect" 20/20 and a clear advantage for someone who plays a target sport."
what exactly is the line? i didn't even know this about tiger woods, but why is this okay in professional sports? what would stop somebody from having eyes with super-magnifying abilities?

I have 20/15 vision naturally, but I have a crap golf swing. So, the line is hard to draw. And often moving.

on the topic of prosthetic legs, there was a ruling more recently on Oscar Pistorius being able to compete in the Olympics. the IAAF scientists argued that his prosthetic legs gave him an unfair advantage. but the court of arbitration and sports ruled that any advantages were cancelled out by the disadvantages (lack of traction in wet weather, harder to start, etc) so he was allowed to compete. (sadly he did not qualify on times but he kicked major ass at the paralympics)
