Me neither. To me, getting a good fitting prosthesis is something
like what I envision getting and keeping a great race car must be
like- a lot of tinkering, some art, some luck, and an attentive,
adaptable driver. A lot of money, time, and patience also helps. :)

Famous person quote: "You will turn immediately to the darkness.
You will be drawn to it by cords of fear and of longing. You will
imagine that you are tired of the sunlight; the waters that unnerve 
you will tug in the ancient recesses of your mind; the midnight will 
seem restful- you will end by going down." -Loren Eiseley re: caving
