I disagree. Maturity is your paperboy becoming your cardiologist. Maturity
is discovering you have gray body hair. Maturity is not being able to sleep
all night cause you have to get up and pee 3 times. Maturity is not being
able to leave the doctors office without a very personal encounter that you
would think he'd have the decency to kiss you first or at least buy you
dinner.
I think every illness comes with it's own dementia. Amputation is no
exception. It takes a while to see it but it's there and we all suffer from
it to various degrees. I think things would be different if we were all face
to face.
