Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Well, I'm no expert, but I do know a couple people who've lost a lower limb, and apparently it's common for problems to develop with the stump, which are aggravated by the use of prosthetics. The consequence is that, every few years, they have to go in and remove a little more of the limb.
My understanding is that resections are things that are needed on the decade timescale, but maybe more frequently. And I'm not sure everyone has this problem. I know only that the two people I know had to have them, and that they limited their prosthetic use - they said - because it increased the chance they'd need a resection.
Maybe an expert can weight in?
